    How do I disassemble this tower to clean the lines?

    Bought a used kegerator but there’s beer in the lines. Can’t for the life of me figure out how to get the cap off to remove the lines, and it looks like the previous owner couldn’t either. No way to remove tap either, it appears. Vissani Beer Keg Cooler MCKC490S Even the manual doesn’t tell...

    What would you call this style? (+ kegging on the cheap, G30 grain bill, etc.)

    Hi, folks! Very green home-brewer here. I'm going into my fifth brew, and I've read The Complete Joy of Homebrewing, and I still know absolutely nothing. 😅 I do know what styles I like, that I enjoy low ABV, and that home-brewing gets very complicated very easily. Hah! I'm working on the...

    Grain bed doughing up every few minutes.

    Had my LHBS store mill up this batch, just like the last two brews. The mill is not adjustable. I'm using the same recipe and grains as the last two brews as well. I noticed the pump starting to sound like a washing machine. I couldn't figure out what was happening, but finally saw that there...

    Water source for CF chiller?

    I'm trying to figure out a better way to get water to my Grainfather G30's counterflow chiller. For my first brew, I T'd off from my washing machine's water supply. That worked great until I dripped a bit on my water heater. Having a "smart" water heater, it detected a leak and shut down for a...

    Opinions on my second ever brew recipe?

    I'm planning out my second brew ever. My first was this Amber Ale from a LHBS. It turned out really well. Main thing I'll be changing is my bottling process. I didn't enjoy using Brewer's Best Conditioning Tablets. As far as tablets go, it's probably one of the easier ones, since you can add...

    Sanitizing bottles - most efficient way?

    Yesterday, I wrapped up my first bottling session. I have to say, it was definitely the worst part of this whole process. Hah! I ran the bottles through the dishwasher on extra hot. Unfortunately, my dishwasher does not have a sanitize setting. So, I filled a 5 gallon bucket with a StarSan...

    How the heck do I read this hydrometer?

    Edit: I think I get it. Bought this under recommendation from someone. But I don't think it works like normal hydrometers? How do I read this?

    Cracked Fast Ferment. Now what?

    I was gifted a Grainfather G30 and a FastFerment, along with some other goodies. I was doing a "dry run" with PBW and when I got to chilling and transferring to fermenter, I realized it was leaking. The crack is at the neck, just above the threads for the valve. Only thing I could do to fix it...
