This is what 15psi does to a Spiedel plastic fermenter. It was at 15 psi for less than 5 minutes as I figured out the adjustment on the spunding valve required to hit 10 psi, which it's been at for a couple days now. A friend shared this pic with a buddy who works for a micro brewery and he said...

Brewing is a relatively safe hobby, but there are some aspects that can be hazardous, and these are not always obvious. Not long ago, I started a HomeBrewTalk thread called "Eye-Catching Safety Tips" with some hazards I was aware of. Other posters added some additional items. In this article...

I've been using the "brew hauler" for about 3 years now. I have several of them. That's the nylon strap wrap-around that helps with carrying full carboys. Well, the buckle on one broke (plastic snapped) with a FULL 5 gallon carboy a few weeks ago. Luckily, I didn't smash any toes or even get...

I am plumbing my first setup: keggle > march pump > plate chiller > cornie. I was wondering, it is okay to use water heater supply line for the hoses between the keggle > pump and the pump > chiller? I know some types of hoses can cause off flavors/odors, and some are just flat out not okay to...
