I would have to say that it does happen quite a bit. I have two LBK's and on both this has happened. the spigot will leak if not tightened enough and will break if tightened too much. After getting replacement spigots from MB, it happened again. I got some spigots like the Italian one...

I did the same thing the first time I used Mr.Beer, which was also the first time I brewed beer. The batch fermented at 74°-76° degrees and I let it run 2 weeks at that temperature. Fortunately. it was the 'Dark Winter Ale'. The krausen was coming up through the airlock (I have one of the old...

Thanks cbmikey & woozy, Yeah I know that they are inexpensive, but I really want to get these batches in this weekend. My HOA is going to flush the water lines next week and have sent us a letter saying that there will be particulates and discoloration in the water for a few weeks after that...

I was just sent a brochure from my company to pick a gift for 30 years with the company. There are about 35 items to choose from, none of which interested me, except for maybe a...

My first post here. My wife bought me a Mr. Beer years ago and I never opened it since we were getting ready to move in a few months and I figured to set it up at the new house. That was over 17 years ago. It got buried in a closet and I just forgot all about it until we were cleaning out the...
