Looking to get a stainless steel carbonation cap - the kind that you can screw onto a 2L soda bottle and connect a gas ball lock disconnect to carbonate the contents of the bottle. I know these can be bought new for ~$10 but I figured someone may have one laying around that they don't use would...

For sale: two PET (plastic) carboys. Both hold 6 gallons; one is Better Bottle brand, the other is Midwest Supplies brand. Both have minor cosmetic scuffs or old sticker residue on the outside but are perfectly clean on the inside. Immediately following every brew, both carboys were cleaned...

I've currently got 2 beers in my keezer, a blonde and an IPA. Both beers were kegged at the same time and sat in the keezer for a week at 11 psi, 37 degrees F (first time trying the set and forget method). I sampled them after a week to find no carbonation in either beer. Disappointed, I set...

I'm referring to this one: https://www.homebrewing.org/10-Gallon-2-Weld-Volume-Marked-Brew-Pot_p_6827.html I'm in the market for a new brew kettle; my Bayou Classic has rust on the inside from where I did the DIY volume etching trick w/ a battery - disappointing! I saw that AIH is having a sale...

I'm thinking about starting to do pseudo-closed transfers from my carboys to my kegs. I say pseudo because I don't think I'll be doing the whole CO2 pushing thing, I'm planning on just flushing my kegs with CO2, hooking my siphon up to the beer out disconnect, and opening the PRV to vent as beer...

It's been a while since I brewed a batch of beer with extract but I'm looking to get a good price on light/pilsen DME to use for starters. Right now I can get it for $4.50/lb at my LHBS, which I think is way too expensive. They don't carry 50lb sacks and for them to special order one for me...

I just set up a kegerator with 4 Intertap flow control faucets and have 2 beers on tap, so I'm still relatively new to dispensing from taps. What I'm experiencing is slightly foamy first pours (~1/2 glass of foam) with the flow control set to ~50%. I can chalk this up to warm taps. Second...

So I made a beer, which I have only referred to generically as "German lager". I had some WLP 830 German Lager yeast in the fridge that was getting old so I wanted to spin up a starter to rejuvenate it, but I didn't know what to brew so I made the recipe up on the spot. The grist is 33%...

I just set up my keezer with 4 brand new stainless steel Intertap flow control faucets, with the stainless steel shank and tailpiece also from Intertap. I currently have 2 beers on tap, which I previously had on tap on my picnic tap setup - no metallic taste there so I know it is not due to...

I'm in the planning stages of building out my 7.2 cu. ft. keezer with a collar and 4 faucets, and I have noticed pretty consistently that many people put their faucets all the way to the left or all the way to the right side of their collar, and not in the center. What is the reasoning for this...

Looking to build out my kegerator with 4 Intertap flow control faucets. Currently I have 4 picnic taps each with 4 feet of 3/16" beer line. I get great pours serving at 11 psi. My understanding is that with non-flow-control faucets its recommended to have closer to 10 feet of line at ~10-11 psi...

I did a quick search to see if this tip was common knowledge but I didn't find anything so I'm sharing! Last weekend I was draining my Home Depot Rubbermaid 10 gallon mash tun and thinking how I could maximize efficiency by squeezing out as much of the first runnings as possible yet not have...

I found a half ounce of Willamette and Crystal hops leftover from the last time I brewed Cream of 3 Crops, about 2 years ago. I'm thinking about brewing it again, using American lager yeast this time, and it would be nice to use up those two half ounces instead of buying new hops and having more...

So I am thinking about picking up a sack of Avangard Pale malt and Avangard Munich (I've noticed a certain flavor in several commercial beers that I am really fond of, and after some research I have determined this to be from Munich). I brew primarily blonde ales, pale ales, IPAs, with the...

The 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs are starting this Wednesday and I can't wait to watch 2 months of the best and most intense hockey in the world. I'm really hoping to see the Washington Capitals go all the way this year! Where are all the hockey fans at - I know you're out there! What teams are...

I remember when this method of etching stainless kettles circulated some months ago there was a bit of concern about the etched areas corroding if they were not passivated with something like citric acid. Did anybody who etched their kettles experience this? Did you passivate with citric...

A couple weeks ago I brewed Yooper's fizzy yellow beer. I'm still in the "working out my new system" phase - all my beers are turning out great I'm just working on consistency now. Anyway, I nailed the 150°F mash temp, nailed the 1.054 OG spot on, brew day went off without a hitch. My Notty...

So after a few system changes (built a cooler mash tun for batch sparging and water adjustments) I'm finally starting to brew all grain batches that I am consistently happy with (:ban:). The first time I brewed on my new system I heated my sparge water up to like 180°F or so while I was draining...

I've tried searching for this topic but it looks like most of the threads are a bit outdated and most of the prices thrown around aren't accurate anymore and some of the sources don't even exist anymore. So I am looking for a more up to date source of cheap bulk grains. I realize that group...

So I have all the grains for a 2 Hearted Ale clone (10lbs 2 row, 2lbs Vienna, 8 oz C20, 8oz Carapils). I know the 2 Hearted Ale uses Centennial for all of its hop additions and I actually just brewed this recipe using all Centennial, but I want to brew it again using different hops. What I...
