    Georgia 3 Perlick SS Tap, Shanks , etc

    Not at this time unless you know someone that wants the 3rd!

    No leaking issues, would prefer to sell as set but that could change based on interest. I thought you still needed a shank with keezers although probably longer than the ones I have.

    The $39.99 price is for the faucet only. Once you add in the shank, tailpiece assembly, and knob you are look at $70/ea. Add in $10 for the cheapest shipping option are you are at about $220 shipped.

    I replaced my old T tower so I have these to sell. These are either 475SS or 525SS, I honestly cant recall. Taps are in like new condition, the tightening nuts (which would be hidden in tower) are really the only areas that show signs of wearing from loosening and tightening. Shanks are 2"...

    When To Drink an IPA?

    About 75% of the beers I make are IPAs. I usually keg them right after 14 days of single stage fermentation and start drinking them as soon as they are carbonated. ... well oftentimes after 2 or 3 days in the keg if I start the keg out at 30+ PSI for the first day to give it a kick start. I...

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    This could totally be it...who knows at this point. I was at the end of my keg when I noticed it a good bit with the Pale Ale, could be that I was tasting alot more yeast as the final few pints were served from the keg. I have never tried gelatin... only "fining agent" I use is moss to...

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    I've been tempted to go to AG, but my PM brews have continually improved since I first started so I havent felt the need until just recently. I dont think the taste is related to kegging as I've noticed it before when I used to bottle and I've also noticed the taste in other homebrewer's beers...

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    Well, it really seems like in the beginning most all my beers had this off-taste. 7 years later, I really only notice it here and there and the only beer I have right now (or had, I finished off last night) that I noticed it in is my Rye Pale Ale. But it seemed to be more noticeable the longer I...

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    :mug: It is all good man. I definitely want to track down the cause of off-taste and this thread has given me a few things that I know I can watch more closely...notably... using a yeast starter, lower pitch temps, and lower fermentation temps.

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    Sorry to peeve you, but if you've read through the thread, I am not the only person that has experienced the taste I am describing. Perhaps I should have worded my initial question better, but all I was really asking was "is there an obvious taste difference when moving from extract HB to AG...

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    Does one ice bath usually keep the batch cool enough through fermentation (with room temps around 70-72)...or will I need to refresh the ice?

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    Something that just hit me that I should clear up. Austin says to get the wort down to 80, move to primary fermenter, and then top off water and pitch the yeast. So I bet I am actually pitching at a temp much lower than 80 when you actually top off with cold water. I've never measured the exact...

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    Interesting.... I just ordered ingredients for my next two beers, wish I had known. Guess I will use the DME next time around to see how that turns out.

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    You are correct. I really am happy with 95% of the beers Ive made over the past 4 or 5 years when I really felt like I got past the learning curve of home brewing (at least in the partial mash style). Last night I poured a couple strawberry blondes that I made a few months back and A) It was...

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    Why would all of Austins instruction sheets indicate to pitch once the temp reaches 80 degrees? I dont use kits much anymore but for years 80 degrees has been embedded in my head as the proper pitching temp. I have always used dry yeast though, never tried liquid yeast. And if I do make...

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    Extract twang...hmm...this might be what I am describing. It isnt always as noticeable from beer to beer and overall, I am very pleased with the results of my beer. I just notice something from time to time that I could do without....again, not anything that would make me think the beer was bad...

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    Using LME from Austin Home Brew solely. I always pitch yeast after the wort goes through an ice bath and is at or below 80 degrees. I am only doing partial boils though at this point. Use proper beverage lines and will run starsan through them between kegs.... and kegs are always thorough...

    Will switching to AG alleviate that "homebrew" taste?

    I always ferment in my basement which never gets any higher than 72, but usually stays around 70. Like mentioned above, I don't believe it is sanitization or ingredients. I really wonder if the taste is just from using an extract vs. all grains for the ingredients. I suppose it...
