I built last summer a glycol chiller for my fermenters. Everything was running fine except now, since the temperature in the brewery is close to 60F, the A/C thermostat won't turn on the compressor (only the fan). I checked the A/C instrution manual and it's written below 62f the...

I need 4 more corny, in good condition at a great price. Since I'm from Canada, I'd prefer a canadian seller, or a really good shipping price from our USA friends...:mug:

Midwest supply and KegConnection are selling some keg insulators. Are they really worth it? They should remain serving temperature for up to 24 hours. I need to keep 5 gallons cornies at good temp this summer, without the need of a fridge, for the weekend and last summer, I used a lot of...

Hi there, I've already sent this question in another section of the forum, but I think it's more appropriate here, so here we go: I did a Festa Brew brewer's worth last November's 20th. I kegged it on December's 5th, but filled 12 bottles also, since it was a 23 liters worth. Since...

Hi there, I did a Festa Brew brewer's worth last November's 20th. I kegged it on December's 5th, but filled 12 bottles also, since it was a 23 liters worth. Since that date, it was under force carbing and last week end, I tried it. Totally awful. I couldn't believe it...

Well, title say it all, I need a digital conversion thermostat for my kegerator. I can't set it up to the right temp, it's either too warm or too cold. Let me know if you have one, or where I can get a new one. I checked KegConnection, I liked the digital one, but they are expensive on...

I have a pin lock (Coke style) 5 gallons that I'm not using since I have 5 Ball lock keg. I don't like to change the disconnects on the line. I'd like to trade it for a 5 gallons ball lock, so it would match the others I have. I do have a set of Pin Lock disconnect that I won't use...

I've made 3 Festa Brew (Continental Pilser, Cream Ale and Cerveza) but I'm not happy with the result: They almost taste like Perrier water. You can't go wrong with these kit, you only have to add yeast to it. Maybe it's because they are too young? Will these kit will have a better taste...
