I have a three tap tower keezer that I need to sell. It comes with three ball lock kegs, two used and one new, a 20# CO2 tank, and a Johnson A419 digital temperature controller. The collar I built for it is functional, but doesn't look very nice, so you'll need to do something with that if it...

Title pretty much sums up what I'm looking for. The more popular New England beers (i.e. Heady, Gandhi) are effectively inaccessible to me without going to extravagant lengths, but any of the more common beers that I can find here are up for grabs. Cheers!

So I am getting ready to do my first keezer build. I've converted a refrigerator before with no issues, but this is my first keezer. I almost certain there's nothing to worry about with drilling the hole to mount the tower, but I am concerned about mounting the manifold on the inside. I've...

So I got a letter a couple months ago about a class action lawsuit, which I was a part of, brought against Bank of America. I didn't do anything about it since I figure anything I might get back would be miniscule at best. Today I received a "check" from the settlement adminstrator and looks a...

I've got a couple batches of cider going right now that appear to have finished, but I am not sure. I used dry Pasteur Champagne yeast for both batches, which I am given to understand should bring it down under 1.000 pretty handily. Right now both batches are sitting at 1.005 after rousing...

With the community enjoyment of our first Sloppy Saturday (formerly No Correction Saturday) some of us have put forth the idea of it becoming a weekly or monthly affair. I just wanted to officially poll the community to see how often you would like to do this, if at all. Cheers! :mug:

I truly hate it when a truly awful song gets stuck in my head for no other reason than I've heard it recently. Right now I am alternating between Perfume and Are You Gonna Stay The Night. That might be more of a statement about the radio station I listen to, but in Groton, CT it's about the...

What's yours? Mine is that I start speaking what little Spanish I know (mostly to myself) at every opportunity.

Well, it's that time of the year again. We get an extra hour tonight to do with as we see fit. Should we use the extra hour to sleep or to drink?

I brewed my first sour beer, a Flanders red, about a month and some change ago and am about to rack it to secondary this week. It was fermented with WLP665 and Mangrove Jack's Workhorse. It currently has a hint of sourness, but not what I would expect based on the commercial examples I've had...

Gandhi-bot has been growing in popularity for a while now, on this board at least, and since I've been wanting to attempt a clone of this beer for a while now I figured now would be a good time to start a thread dedicated to pooling our collective brewing skills to clone it. I developed a...

I've done some searches and the results I've found kind of danced around what I wanted to know, but didn't quite answer my question. I am planning to build two heat sticks of 1650 W/120 V each and I was wondering if the total 3300 W will be enough to bring 7-ish gallons of wort to a boil in a...

Anyone here entering the Southern New England Regional Homebrew Competition this year? Registration just opened so I thought I would let everyone know since they're capping entries at 350 this year. I just registered my two entries, an imperial stout and DIPA. I'll be judging there so if...

I almost 100% sure there is no way to verify something is yeast without a good microscope and other expensive gadgetry. A couple days ago I made some agar wort and put it in petri dishes to collect some local yeast cultures. I have one dish that has what I believe to be yeast on it, but I...

So I made some wort mixed with agar and put it petri dishes for yeast propogation. I had about half a cup left over after I filled all my petri dishes so I put it in a container to let it set. Anyone think this might actually be decent tasting? I'm going to try it either way, I just wanted to...

I am going to Florida in July for my mom's birthday and driving all the way down the east coast from Connecticut. On the way back I plan on stopping in a few places along the way. I'm not really looking for breweries because I don't want to have to go very far off I-95 to get anywhere (time...

So my first try at culturing wild yeast was less than stellar, to put it lightly. I just did the leave some wort sitting out and see what starts eating it with which I fermented a beer, but it turned out to be an abomination. For my next try I'm going super geek, so I bought some petri dishes...

So when I changed duty stations I had to disassemble my shotgun so the movers could ship it. When it arrived here there was a piece missing and in the course of trying to get a replacement I realized I don't know what the piece is called. From looking at a schematic I think it's the hammer...
