I am looking to upgrade to a 20-gallon Brew-in-Basket setup and believe I have settled with the Blichmann 240V Brew Commander, but they don't offer their BrewEasy Compact in a 20-gallon size. I have been looking at both the 20-gallon kettle/baskets from Spike and Brau Supply and both appear...

So I have two gose beers that have finished primary (one will have cucumber in the secondary) and one I am still deciding. I have a 49 oz can of Vinter's Harvest apricot puree that I have lying around, but I am worried about using it for a sour because I have had peach/apricot young sours...

I have been looking to get the Colt Bench Capper, but was wondering if this would work with the 29mm cap adapter sold for the Red Barron model. Also any feedback on the Colt would be much appreciated...

I came across an interesting device for serving growlers on draft at home. It's meant to be for growlers you pick up from the brewery (I backed this because I built my kegerator only to the size to fit corny kegs and not sanke kegs with their couplings; it would have required the use of a collar...

Good afternoon, I have the AEB kegs, but don't know which size deep socket driver I should get. Do I need multiple ones to fully service the kegs? I have seen 7/8'' deep socket in both six-point and twelve-point....what are the differences between the two?

What are your recommendations for keg tubing? I am currently looking at getting the Ultra Barrier Silver (costing just over 50 dollars for three taps @10 ft a line...much more than I excepted to pay for my lines) because I am the only beer drinker in the house and I fear it may mold if I go on...

Just want to make sure I have everything in order before setting up the plan. Is there anything else I should get? So I don't have the chest freezer yet nor do I have the tap handles (have the first two planned), but I plan on a 7.1 cubic foot layout. I also am deciding on the type of digital...

Does anyone know of a place in San Diego that will fill tanks rather than simply exchanging them and what the price of a fill would be? I don't want to buy a new tank just for it to be exchanged for another.

I am in the market to pick up three new kegs. I am going with new because I am disgusted with the quality of the used kegs I have seen in homebrew shops (extreme cracks and rust). I was going to go with cheaper new kegs, but heard horror stories about the Chinese ones where the "stainless...

So today was the straw that broke the camel's back when it came to bottling (I have already been itching to keg, but this instance takes the cake).....I was transferring from the fermentor to the bottling bucket after spending a couple hours preparing (sanitizing dozens of bottles) when the...

So I have an expired Coopers Heritage Lager I had sitting around and was wondering how it would end up with using US-04 instead of the hybrid yeast. Would Czech Saaz also be good for adding additional flavor?

I need to mill my own grain as I have a 50 lb sack of grain I picked up for 35 dollars and 7 (was supposed to be six, but it seems an extra one ended up in my order) all-grain kits I did not want to have pre-crushed so they would last longer. I have been looking at this one since it's 100 and...

So I have Northern Brewer's Spiced Winter ale in primary right now and will transfer to secondary. Does it still need to be temperature controlled or can it be removed from my fermentation control unit? Also I was going to brew an Irish Red Ale to double fill my unit, but found out this weekend...

So I just brewed an extract dunkleweizen from AIH yesterday around 14 hours ago (the kit was old, but preserved well) with a vial of White Labs 380 Hefeweizen IV yeast bottled last week (I got it from them directly) and I put the fermentation control at 20 C...since I did not seen any activity...

http://www.homebrewfinds.com/2014/04/dual-scale-refractometer-wcorrected.html I am looking to get one for both measuring alcohol content (yes...I'm willing to do the math for post fermentation calculations). I also want it for testing my all-grain brewing when I finally get my kit finished.

Just got a new refrigerator for extra food and was wondering if I could just use an external temperature controller (the Celsius model) plugged into the power outlet without making any modifications (aside from removing shelves) to the refrigerator....let's just say I get away with a lot with my...

Does anyone know if the Magic Chef 3.5 cubic foot mini refrigerator will work as a fermentation chamber for a 6-gallon better bottle with airlock...

So I used an expired Coopers Draught Kit (tossed out the yeast when it failed to proof and replaced it with US-04), but I still went with their suggestion to use corn sugar and it tastes almost as bad as my Mr. Beer Kit days, much different compared to my all-malt Dunkleweizen I brewed...

So I was maybe still tipsy when I went to the LBHS and bought a Coopers Draught kit not looking at the expired date (which turns out to have been back in November) and have since opened it. What's the typical time lapse between packaging and the expiration date for Coopers kits? What off...

So my extract Dunkleweizen turned out great, but I am running low on beer so I need a new batch before I finish my all-grain kit (waiting for my cooler to ship to finish my HLT). I bought three Coopers kits on discount a while back: an Australian Pale Ale I cannot find, the Traditional Draught...
