I just got a Kegerator and plan to build a tower cooler out of an old pc fan. But we're hosting a party for Monday Night Football this week and, with ten week old twins, I won't have time to do that before Monday. So I began to think about temporary solutions. I thought I could shove a cold pack...

I just tapped my first keg with a new kegerator. I feel like I followed the instructions precisely, but with the pressure screw all the way open (counter clockwise) for minimal pressure, it still shows 18 psi. If I release the pressure it just immediately climbs back up. If I pour a beer it...

I'm in the market for a kegerator and I am looking at these two models. Does anyone have any opinions/input to share? Is there another model altogether that I should be considering? I like the stainless look of the Danby but that's not essential. I'm looking to keep under $400 shipped. Thanks in...

I have a Pliny the Elder clone that I bottled yesterday. I keep my fermenter under the stairs in a finished basement that stays a nice 65 degrees. I had the bottled beer at that temp for the first 24 hours as well. I want to be able to share one in about ten days and I'm wondering what the ideal...

I have a bucket of 2.5 gallons of water and StarSan that I used a few days ago to sanitize my hydrometer and wine thief to take a gravity reading. I've left it out uncovered over the past few days with the intention of using it to sanitize these items for another gravity reading. But as I was...

I noticed there was another recent thread on this subject, but I didn't want to hijack from that OP. Please merge if appropriate. I am making a stout and I just bottled it. The targets are OG: 1.055; FG: 1.014. I came pretty close with an OG of 1.050. I kept it in primary for three weeks and...

I am just starting to drink my first homebrew. It's been in bottles for about three and a half weeks. It's an IPA from a kit and I left it in the primary for three weeks and bottled without a secondary. I definitely wasn't as organized as I should have been, but things went pretty smoothly. The...
