I have a false bottom from Jay and a weldless dip tube assembly from bargain fittings. As everything fits together perfectly removing the FB for cleaning can be a bit difficult. Currently I am pretty much unscrewing the diptube to get the FB out and was thinking there has to be an easier way...

After looking at several PJ wiring diagrams I came up with this. (Thanks PJ for the examples it made making this a lot easier.) Please comment on what I have incorrect here as it just does not seem correct for some reason. Thanks in advance..

I have just received my 50 plate chiller from kegcowboy but the sticker on the top has been almost completely worn off. Before I use this I would like to figure out which wort line to use in order to go against the ridges. There is an arrow type marking on one of the ports as pictured below...

I would like to attempt to do my first "All Grain" soon. I will start with a 5 gallon batch but would love to get some suggestions on a recipe I should use. Anyone suggest a sort of first timer / fool-proof recipe that I could try? As for the method I believe I am going with one of these...

I recently scored a few Miller sanke kegs thanks to my neighbor setting them out for trash pickup. Or should I say my neighbor’s wife for making him get rid of them. I could almost see a tear form up in his eye while he was taking them out of his garage. Anyways I noticed that one of the...

I have searched and read several posts and believe I have found my problem. My last three batches have all came out with a nutty smell and a banana aftertaste. I noticed that since the colder weather has started to set in my wife (all 120lbs soaking wet) has turned up the heat to keep...

I wanted to share a recent story I had with this LHBS. After work the wife and I drove up to the “Candy Store” aka Great Fermentations for some supplies. The owner Anita was working the floor that day and offered great advice, friendly chit-chat, and helped find all of our supplies and...

Forgive my ignorance here but I have just became a proud owner of a few free sanke kegs that I plan on converting to a keggle to increase my batch sizes. Before I do this I was wondering if my current burner is able to bring a 10 gallon to a boil? This is my burner...

Well I figured I would share my first rootbeer horror story and strike it up to a lessons learned. The wife and I thought it would be fun for the kids to make some rootbeer so we bought a Homebrew rootbeer extract, grabbed some sugar, yeast, and a some 2 liter bottles. At the time we decided...

Well the wife and I decided to bottle our Oatmeal Stout so we can save the kegs for other brews. I used the same process I have used in the past but ended up with strange results. I used a bottling bucket and mixed in 5oz of priming sugar after stirring in the sugar we bottles 2 cases of brew...

Hello Everyone, I guess you can still call me a relatively newbie to the Homebrew hobby but I have been a stalker of Homebrew forums for some time. I have 7 extract brews under my belt and have already gotten rid of the bottles and opted for the kegs. I just could not stand collecting...
