    Weird Keg problem

    Someone gave me some old Corny kegs and I'm in the process of getting them serviceable. One of them, a single-handle, has a really strange thing though. The gas-in post is missing, so I got a replacement and went to put it on, and then discovered the threaded post on the keg is not hollow! I'll...

    Did I over-bitter this beer?

    Brewed a hybrid California Pilsener yesterday, and am worried about the bittering. I formulated the recipe using BrewPal [Long tedious story about brewing apps deleted] and it calculated 37 IBU, right where I wanted the beer. Then I input the recipe to BeerSmith and Brewer's Friend, and got...

    Half Hitch - anyone clone it?

    A friend is looking for a homebrew recipe to approximate the Half Hitch Mosaic IPA from Crux Fermentation Project. https://www.cruxfermentation.com/beer/half-hitch/ "...the Mosaic hop imparts surprisingly floral aromas instead of the more expected grapefruit-y notes. On the palate, complex...

    Gruit Gose

    A friend asked me to come up with a gruit version of Gose. Fortunately I have another friend who is familiar with the style and techniques for making Gose, and this turned into a fun collaboration project. Gose is an ideal beer to flavor with gruit herbs. It is a light, tart beer with no...

    Crazy Buckwheat Gruit beer recipe - thoughts?

    Brewing for a special performance of the medieval epic, "The Romance of Tristan and Iseult" in exactly one month. Since much of the story is associated with Brittany, and there is a famous buckwheat beer called "Telenn Du" (Black Harp) brewed in Brittany, and the performance is by harper...

    How much does a 20-lb bottle weigh?

    Yes, it's a trick question... Anybody here know what an empty aluminum 20-lb CO2 bottle should weigh? I would like to have some early warning when it's getting close to empty.

    BYO Cider article (warning: Rant!)

    Was all excited to see cider on the cover of Brew Your Own, though the subheading about "Hopped Ciders" was a little worrying. The article proved a disappointment though, with too many statements that had me thinking, "wait, that's not quite right..." For example: "As for the cider itself...

    Lever-handle PRV

    I need to replace some leaking pressure relief valves on some older soda kegs. They are the smaller lever-handle kind, which I think is an older Firestone model. I can't find any online catalog listing these. CHI Company shows them in a photo but doesn't list them (and doesn't answer the...

    Screws for tower

    Just got a Kegco keg fridge, on which I want to mount a tower I've had for a while (from a previous build). The mounting screws are nowhere to be found, and I can't find the specifications anywhere. Does anyone know what size screws fit into the threaded sockets on a kegerator? I'm...
