Gang, I recently moved to an apartment for a brief stay and I don't have access to a hose bib for my wort chiller. I plan to use my kitchen sink but don't know what faucet adapter I need.Can anyone make a recommendation?

Just upgraded my diy kegerator from having to open to door and poor with a picnic tap. Bought a stainless shank and perlick faucet. Have it drilled and installed but I can't get the kicking nut right enough so the faucet doesn't rotate. The door is just foam so if unreality crank the nut it just...

I assembled a kegging system but I have some questions. I'll be force carbing and not bottle conditioning but if I rack to keg from secondary at my fermentation temps ... Once the beer cools in my kegerator won't here be yeast sludge on the bottom right by the output tube in the keg? Seems the...

Ok everyone. I thought I'd share a little discovery to anyone who’s interested. After bottling my last few batches I decided that my bottles needed a little pizazz. As I've ramped up my brewing I found myself storing a few different varieties of beer but no real way to label them easily and...

Second time using this spigot will be tonight when I bottle. I cleaned it out well with hot water after it's first use but I was just wondering if it pulls apart for better cleaning. I know others do but I'm afraid to break it. If I break it it'll be a half hour drive to my local shop. Its make...

Getting ready to bottle. It's been dry hopped in the secondary and the pellet hops are quite messy. Did not use anything to contain them . I have an autosiphon racking cane . What can I put around it to strain out the good but not the yeast. I was goin to use a coffee filter tied around the...

I picked up a 12 gallon aluminum kettle on Craigslist for $15 . Cleaned it and re conditioned it and I love it! Heats and cools very quickly compared to my stainless 8 gallon. Now, I'm trying to remove hassle on my brew day. I hate siphoning the chilled wort in to the fermenter. Takes forever...

My first recipe which called for a dry hop. I currently have the hop pellets in a ziplock bag (had to open the sealed bag for earlier hop additions) in the freezer. I bought a mislin bag I will sterilize and obviously I'll sanitize the glass carboy I plan to rack the beer to. How do I sterilize...

I am running your standard 10 gallon Home Depot orange beverage cooler as a mash ton. for this Brew I'll be brewing about 12 pounds of grain what is the best way to calculate the strike temperature? Is there a reliable Calculator I can enter the mass of grains , temperature of grains and it...

For my next brew I bought the equipment for a yeast starter with a stir plate. Does it matter how long you start the starter before the yeast is pitched? Is 2 days too long? Also can I chill the starter to settle the yeast over night before use. Decant the liquid and pitch just the yeast? I...

For my first ever brew, I bought an all grain kit from midwest. I built/purchased all the equipment to get me started right in to all grain. After 6 days I transferred the beer from primary to secondary fermentation in to a glass carboy. I left most of the trub I could behind and tossed it...
