    Need new relief valves, but which type??

    Well, I got back on the brewing bus but I noticed the relief valve on one of my corny kegs isn't sealing right. I gunked it with some keg lube and that quieted her up, but I was looking into getting replacements. Two questions: -Best place to get them? -What kind do I get? Micromatic has a...

    Question regarding shank/beer line quick disconnect

    Ok, so originally the shanks of my keezer had barbed ends. But through my various acquisitions I now have these beer line connectors that screw directly onto the shank. I proceeded to dremel off the barbs that were there, sand it all down to about 2000 grit for a good seal, and then connect my...

    Question regarding stout faucet

    So a few weeks ago I picked up this stout faucet from BBB along with a nitrogen regulator. Two days ago I picked up some beer gas and I was off to the races! Poured my first glass and.....no head at all other than the smallest dusting of bubbles :( I figure I probably have the pressure wrong...

    Brewing again after a one year hiatus - wish me luck!

    Well, I bought a house and things got busy fixing it up, so brewing got put on the back burner. I also developed a pretty large obsession with straight razors during that time ;) But I'm back now! Doing my first all grain in over a year. Going to try a stout to be ready for late Sept. for a...

    My first AG crush

    Finally got moving on making a hopper/base for my Crankenstein and I want everyone's opinion on my crush. IMO I think I can go a bit finer but let me know what you think! I'll post pics of the hopper/base when they're done.

    What to ask for in a water report

    I contacted my water company and they said they'd be happy to send me a report and asked me to specify what I'd like to know specifically. This kind of threw me cause I'd really like to know *everything*, but I'm trying to come up with a list...been searching various posts and this is what I've...

    FYI: Regarding rare earth magnets

    Hypothetical situation: - You have a bad hard drive and decide to harvest it's magnets for a stir plate. - You get the stirplate all set up, proto-board soldered, wiring/case all done. - You go to remove magnets from the metal brackets they are on, but realize they're glued. ** DO NOT...

    Major Buzzkill

    So I'm sitting out on my back porch brewing, and my neighbor looks over the fence and asks me what I'm doing. I tell him I'm brewing beer, I give him a basic rundown of the process and whatnot. He smiles and nods and then asks: "So...what does it taste like?" "Hold on!", I say. I go inside...

    First AG this weekend!

    Woohoo! Finally got my KAB4 Banjo Cooker and new stock pot. I must say, that burner is pretty awe-inspiring and after testing it out I'm sure it'll be worth the $$. Got everything I can think of ready for Sunday, so hopefully it all goes smoothly...the real question is why I'm not brewing today...

    CO2 Refills in NJ

    Title says it all...does anyone know of a place in NJ that will refill a co2 tank (not exchange)? I'm building a kegerator out of a 15cf chest freezer, and most of my parts arrive on Saturday. I did make one mistake (now that I look back) and ordered a brand new 10lb tank and I know once the...
