Hey guys. I'm looking to trade my Axis single tap tower (actual tap pictured below) for a 2 or 3-tap tower. I also added a link of the tap... Any takers? http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/towers/singlefaucet/c515_axis_chrome_beer_tower.shtml

I currently have a half barrel on tap. Sometimes store-bought, sometimes homebrew. I also use a pin lock keg for brewing smaller batches. Is there simple, quick way to swap lines between the two? I've seen the conversion kits on Amazon and eBay, but they still require tools to swap, and...

I am in the process of making three 5.5 gallon batches of an extract apple ale that I'm going to keg in a half barrel. When I brewed it, I topped the fermenters to 4.5 gallons each and they've been fermenting for a week. Today, I mixed up a gallon of apple juice with a pound of honey and some...

Hey guys, I made UpstateMike's Caramel Apple Cider, and it was damn good. So good that I'd like to keg my 1/2 Sanke with the stuff. Is there anywhere to get juice in bulk? I'd rather not buy tons of 96 oz. bottles. Can you get/order 5 gallon jugs of juice anywhere? Thanks in...

I cracked open the first bottle of my second batch yesterday, and it was effing great!! It was based off Midwest's Ferocious IPA extract kit, but I modded it a good deal, just to play around. I added the extract 25/75 at boil and 55 minutes, added a pound of honey at flame out, and changed the...

I'm absolutely dumb when it comes to math. I just don't get it and my brain shuts down. It's why I was a Psychology major! :D Anyway, I'm trying to determine ABV of an IPA I'm about to bottle. OG was 1.071 at approximately 70 degrees, and FG is 1.014 at 63. It's a Ferocious IPA...

Hey guys, I just bottled my first brew this AM. An Irish Red Ale kit using LME. I see the term yeast cake thrown around a lot on here. When I racked to my bottling bucket, I expected a pretty dense cake-like "cake" on the bottom of the fermenter. Instead, I was greeted with a whole lot of...

Hey guys, I'm about to bottle my first batch ever. I have a question though... I keep reading that storing them at 70° is ideal. I live in *cold* northeastern Pennsylvania. My house is kept at either 68° or 62°. I have a programmable thermostat, and it's only at 68° for four hours a day...

I just saw Alton Brown's Good Eats episode on home brewing. One thing that I thought was interesting was using a spigotted bottling bucket as a primary. At the end of fermentation, he simply drained the bucket into another bucket with a spigot for bottling, instead of racking it. Seems...

I'm totally new at this, and just put brewed my first batch of an Irish Red Ale a few nights ago (Wednesday). It made it to the primary at around 9:00 that night, so it hasn't quite been 48 hours yet. I've seen no airlock activity yet. I wouldn't normally be concerned so quickly, but I had...

I'm today's obligatory new guy! I just joined. I started reading about home brewing maybe a month or so ago, and just took the plunge a few days ago. I bought a mid-level brew kit from Midwest Supplies, and I currently have their Irish Red Ale kit beer in my primary fermenter waiting to go...
