I bought a kegerator a few months back and have been using it to regulate fermentation temperature with a ranco temp controller in addition to using it to serve homebrews. I discovered earlier this week that the minimum temp the fridge ever seems to get down to is ~46°. I called the company...

I am almost ready to keg an ESB I brewed nearly a month ago, but I don't have a hydrometer to measure the FG (I will be getting one next time I go to the store, but probably won't make it before it's time to keg). I'm wondering if it's possible to tell when the beer is ready to keg by how it...

I have a ball lock stuck irreparably on the out line of my korny keg. I mean really, really stuck. Not coming off. Is it possible to unscrew the valve going into the keg and find a replacement for it (and, of course, buy a new ball lock)? If so, does anyone know a website where I can look...

I have an IPA that's in the secondary right now, and I dry hopped it when I racked it to the secondary with 1/2 oz cascade and 1/2 oz willamette pellet hops and a tbsp steamed oak chips. After I keg it, would it be a bad idea to give it the same treatment of dry hops? Would it add anything, or...

I have a kegerator that serves as both my kegerator and my method of temp-controlling my fermentations. I'm going to be brewing a lager in the next couple of weeks, and I was wondering if it would be possible to lager at 38° rather than 34° so that I can also have a keg that I'm actively...

A recipe I have from CloneBrews for an Oktoberfest Lager says to ferment at 47-52° for the first four weeks and then move to 57-62° for the remainder of the fermentation, but then in the "helpful hints" along the margin, it says: "this beer should be lagered for 1-2 months. Begin lagering at...
