Early last month I picked up a brand new taprite 3 body secondary to replace the basic distribution block I was using and I noticed that it doesn't seem to keep pressure. I am using brand new hose and 15.7mm pinch clamps and have put leak detector fluid at both ends with no bubbles and even at...

I bought a taprite rebuild kit to try and fix a leaky secondary and the instructions don't mention what to do with the little rubber washer that comes with the kit and it doesn't seem to fit anywhere I could figure out. What's it for or it even needed?

I'm dusting off my regulators after an over 1 year hiatus and I noticed that there must be a very tiny leak somewhere because after pressuring the set and then closing all shut-off valves including the one from the tank regulator they will lose pressure over a few days - for example in my pic...

Does anyone have any recommendations for getting my CO2 tank refilled in Las Vegas/Henderson? I used to go to SimplexGrinnell but they just told me that they no longer do it, which is a bummer because they are right near my house. I'd rather not swap if I can avoid it because I have a nice tank...

I just came across this article about building a bottom drain rain barrel out of PVC and a rubbermaid garbage can and it dawned on me that this might make a good fermenter, especially for > 5 gallon batches where the standard brew bucket is too small. Just might work, I might try this and see...

So for the past few years i've been taking my 5lb CO2 tank to SimplexGrinnell (by the airport) and it would be a 10 minute fill while you wait but last week when I went they said that I would need to leave it because there was nobody available, which was fair because it was around lunch time...

I just got back from Home Depot and it appears they have the Quirky Refuel wifi propane monitor (product info) on clearance for $20, down from $50. At my store they were unpriced, just stacked on the clearance shelf. :rockin: It connects via your home wifi, so I am thinking the app does all...

So I came across this neat device that is a hand held spectrometer and when I saw one of their example apps showed ABV of a drink I thought of the potential for homebrew use. I messaged them about it and got the following response: Great question! Although we haven't yet developed that...

so apparently I have lost one of the plastic twist-on gauge lenses on my regulator, and for the life of me I can't find anywhere that will sell that one part. I even contacted micromatic and was informed that they only sell whole gauges, which i'd hate to do just for the lense. This (and cracked...

So there I was, staring at the plumbing and toilet parts in Lowe's contemplating how I was going to make a tap tower for my three tap keezer and then it hit me "those pipes look kinda familiar if I paint the black pipe green", I thought to myself. With that, an idea was born. As I played with...

I have a shank that it a few inches too long for my setup and I was thinking that I could just cut it shorter instead of buying a whole new one at the shorter size and searching appears to not bring up anything. Are there any issues to be aware of or can I just cut it with a saw with a metal...

I have been keeping an eye on these bluetooth location stickers and they just announced that they were able to include a thermometer in with every unit... which of course made my mind jump right to fermentation or use in a keezer. I think if you were to stick one on the side of your...
