Hello - I am converting to electric (project details to come) and drilled a 1.25" hole in each of my 2 keggles. They are threaded heating elements with the bargainfittings 1" locknut on the inside w/ o-ring. Unfortunately, only 1 of my keggles has a tight seal. One has a slight leak out of it. I...

So I just picked up my second keg on craigslist to be made into a keggle. I am going to take it to a welder to have him cut the top off for me and also a hole for a bulkhead adapter.

So I am doing a brew with rye + 6 row and my LHBS told me to do a mash with a 145 for 30 and a 152 for 60 (then mash out). Would this be advantageous over my normal 152 mash? Thanks. -Matt

Hello- This is my first brew using a march pump. I use high temp to transfer from mash tun to boil kettle. I know you can't prime a march pump dry, but what happens if a few bubbles go through it when it is operating? If you can't see the water level and can't see the water through the...

Hello, I brewed my first all grain lager yesterday. I ended up with a 1.056 OG (Target: 1.058). 4 days ago, I started a Wyeast Bavarian Lager starter. I used a stirplate for 2 days, poured off 90% of the yeast into a sterile beer bottle (stored at 40'F), then added more cooled wort, and...

I purchased a 2 keg kit from kegcowboy with Perlick faucets. When I added sanitizer and hooked both kegs up, one keg was pouring sanitizer out the 3 holes in the faucet. I called and the person who I spoke with at kegcowboy had me check the O ring, try tightening the faucet connection to the...

I am new to kegging. I just finished buiilding my keezer but one of the faucets is leaky. Kegcowboy is sending me a new one when they are back in stock but I have a question regarding regarding carbonating a second beer. I already have my Belgian Pale Ale carbonated and being served (delicious)...

I was originally going to cook 4lbs of bacon in the oven, soak up all the fat, then throw it in my secondary. Now I found this online: http://www.torani.com/products/bacon-syrup Has anyone come across this before or have any experience with it? I wonder if it would give more of a bacon...

Working on my breakfast stout (Bacon maple oatmeal): first all grain brew So I used brewsmith to calculate how much water I needed for my set up (10gal igloo cooler + Keggle) I ended up 10' too low and ended up adding about 2 quarts of water to my mash (Although I am unsure since I filled with...
