Epoxy was poured two days ago on my hockey stick bar top and it has to cure for at least 3 days. The bar is being kept indoors in our attic, which receives periodic sunlight. I've read epoxy can turn Amber due to uv. I've searched high and low but cannot get a definitive answer on whether a top...

I've been using ro water from the millipore system at my work since last May when I began all grain brewing and building up water profiles. Our service contract for the elix system we have expired quite awhile back and I'm beginning to think, based on recent pH estimates being a bit off, that...

Hi everyone, I just got an old bev-air bm23 up and running. Temps are maintaining as they should and pours have been great. The kegerator is a single tap tower at the moment. Since it is fairly new if like to avoid replacing it with a dual tower for the time being. I currently have a...
