    Draft Tower Fan Running Time

    I just rigged up a fan to cool my draft tower and was just curious how long anyone leaves theirs running. Mine is hooked up to a 12v plug and I ahve been leaving it going constantly but I am a little concerned it may burn out.

    Is This A Ridiculous/Impossible Idea?

    I am in the process of converting a Sanyo into a kegerator with a dual tower. Is it possible to run one side with home brew and the other side with a 1/6 barrel of a commercial beer? I am finding that commercial beer need a 5/8 hose and corny kegs need 1/4.

    First Time With DME

    Today I am going to use DME for the first time because I am ready to reap the supposed glorious benefits this will bring. I am using a Coopers Draught kit. My two questions are: 1) Is 3 pounds going to be too much DME? (for 5 gallons obviously) 2)How long do I boil the DME? I have been...

    Could Really Use Some Help On My Third Try

    Alright folks I need some insight here. My first two attempts were made with Coopers extract. Both times the color and carbonation were great. I did one week in primary, 2 weeks in secondary and 3 weeks in bottling like is generally recommended. The problem is that both batches ended up with...
