    keggle ball valve

    When it comes to brass valves, you need to worry about lead content in the alloy. Heating brass, methinks, would be an especially good way to liberate some of that lead. Side note, brass fittings are one of the largest sources of lead in drinking water; always a good idea to run your faucets a...

    Natural Gas Hose

    I second (third?) the 1/2" on the stand. I would advise against using something meant for a grill; a grill is probably not rated to nearly the 100k btu that the 23 tip burner is rated at. The coated flex lines available to the layman max out at 48" (law). On the package there are btu ratings...

    NG Burner Question

    One more thing. On one or two occasions, mine started burning un-cleanly; I simply put my face down there and blew into the burner and it righted the problem.

    Cornys and Sankey couplers: For sale or trade...

    I have 15 used corny kegs that I rescued from a building being demolished. They are all ball lock and in decent condition (I have been cleaning them up little by little). All o-rings seem to be in good shape as well as the other seals (all were still pressurized when I found them). Most were...

    First Batch

    So, thought I'd share my BIL and I brewed our first batch yesterday (AHS Karankawa Pale Ale.). All seems to have gone well. Currently it's happily bubbling away in the fermenter. The process was a lot of fun. Pretty simple if you take your time, prepare, and have an experienced friend to...

    Steam sanitize?

    Nevermind. Of course after submitting, the little similar post box had what I was looking for. Sometimes search doesn't work so well.

    Steam sanitize?

    Have searched around but haven't seen anything on this, so... Could you sanitize bottles with one of those handheld steam cleaners (Shark or similar)? I mean, it's got a long attachment that you put put right in the bottle and zip-zip sanitized! Right?

    Sweat fitting question

    I am building an immersion chiller and was wondering if anyone had any advice/words of warning about sweated fittings contacting the wort. Is there any special cleaning or treatment that I should do prior to utilizing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
