I'd rather paint my apron for my keezer than stain. I just realized I not should use an outdoor latex paint I already have. I have read that appliance paint can be used. If I would go that route would I need some sort of primer? Is there another alternative? I may decide to go with a stain and...

I bought a Midea chest freezer for a keezer. It has both a freezer and refridger mode. It seems like I can fairly actuatly sent the temperature. Should I get a temperature controller anyway? Also, is there a minimum amout of space between the top of the highest keg and the lid? And is a fan...

I have a Firestone Spartanburg VI keg with an odd CO2 dip tube. The dip tube I have is on it's last legs. I was wondering if this plastic dip tube needs a o-ring. Also I was wondering why you even need a CO2 dip tube. Thanks.

I thought I saw a poll on this forum rating conry kegs by different manfacturers. Does anyone know where it is? I was thinking about buying some used Old Ale kegs. Are these OK and what whould you expect to pay? Whould you rather have an orginal Cornelius keg in good shape. Also has anyone...

I came across some hop oil. I'm not sure what to do with it. I have 4 ml of both El Dorado and Chinook hop oil. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to use it? Thanks

With everything considered, how long does it take to keg. It seems like it may not be that much faster than bottling from videos I saw on youtube. It typically takes me <1 hour for 2 cases. Thanks

I have a Topsflo TD5 pump that died today. The power adapter is OK. It makes no sound at all like power bad. Any ideas, thanks.

What is this inside my Fermonster. It seems to be some sort of calcium buildup. It's rough and the only way I can get rid of it is to scratch it off with my fingernail but it comes back the next time I brew. I haven't tried PBW yet. Thanks.

Curretnly I use a nylon mesh hop bag that I clip onto the side of my brew kettle. It seems to clog and also overtime wears out. Does anyone have a recommendation for a stainless steel hop basket? I was wondering about what mess side to get and also there might be other considerations. Thanks.

There was a recent thread not necessarily on wort chillers but the OP said he was able to chill his wort in about 3 minutes. Somebody responded saying that 3 minutes was really fast. The OP sent a link to the wort chiller he used. I wanted to get it and I thought I bookmarked a link to it but...

I recently bought a Vintage Shop PET Carboy. The bottom of the carboy is cloudy and in some spots is brown. I kind of seems like it's almost sort of burnt. Is this normal. I also just bought a Vintage Shop FerMonster It's bottom is as clear as the sides so I there may be some sort of problem. I...

One of my glass carboys broke. I'm thinking about switching to PET. I was wondering what others would rather have. Thanks for any input

I have looked into this a while ago but didn't find anything. I want to have a sprayer for my slop sink. It would save me from having to attach/de-attach my bottle washer all the time. Do they sell such a sprayer? Thanks, Dave

If a recipe calls for flaked corn I have started to use quick grits, it's more available and cheaper I cook the grits first to gelatinize them and then add it to the mash. I have done a few experiments and cannot tell the difference between this and flaked corn but with quick grits I have found...

I have 3 hop plants, Columbus, Sterling and Chinook, that are 3 years old. At the end of last year I replanted them because they were getting in the way. I got a pound (dried) from the Columbus last year, not as much from the others. Assuming they made it though the Winter does anybody want...

I started drinking a batch of beer that should be carbonated but it's not. I must have forgotten to add priming sugar. I was thinking about opening each bottle and adding corn sugar but I do not know how much. I'm not too concerned with optimal carbonation, I just want a ballpark amount. Maybe a...

I have a copper wort chiller. I have read that copper is not good for beer. My copper wort chiller seems difficult to keep clean also. I have this: https://www.amazon.com/NY-Brew-Supply-W3850-CV-Efficient/dp/B01C856JQI/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=wort+chiller&qid=1609793527&sr=8-1 They have the...
