Hi Guys, 3 month ago I forgot to wash my better bottle (I know, I know...but pregnant wife and some other issues makes you forget almost everything). One month later, I saw the better bottle full of fungus and other gray stuff, so I put some bleach and I was going to rinse it but I was on call...

Hi guys, I just purchased my first kegerator. It is used, so I need to replace the faucet (it's broken) and the beer line. I removed the faucet and I don't understand what parts I need to replace. I know that I need a new faucet, but I don't know what piece goes behind the faucet. The faucet...

Hi Guys, I’m planning to brew my first AG this weekend and a have some questions. I never understood the OG issue; the recipe calls for OG: 1.051, should I take the reading before boil or after? To calculate my efficiency, which OG reading should I use? Pre boil or post boil? Let say I missed...

Hi, I'm pretty new on this, so I have some questions. 1. What type of secondary fermenter I should use? I read on my homebrewing book that plastic let oxigen pass through but I see a lot of guys here that use a better bottle. 2. What you guys use as a strainer when you go from the kettle...
