People put tomato juice in BMC to add some taste, If Your HB needs tomato, you need a different HB recipe.

The biggest mistake I made when I salvaged the Coors Lite Home Brew was to removed the Coors label from the bottle. Most of my friends and family would never touch anything with a Coors label on it.

The rubber seal that the 9mm neck CO2 cartridge fits into can be removed from the regulator. I replace it with a length of 5/16id X 7/16od vinyl tubing about 7/16 inch long. I can now use the small necked (7mm) 16gr cartridges or the large necked (9mm) with the original seal. 7mm easy to find...

Koolatric make a thermoelectric cooler with inside dimensions of 12h X 8w X 12d, the Miller/Cores - T-a-D bottles are 7"dia X 12" long. I believe with the tap the bottle is 16" long. That looks like a micro kegerator project. I'll need some V8 juice to make the Millers Lite disposable.

All that engineering and no DUCT TAPE

The lid on the 60qt cooler will close with the ball lock connectors on one 2.5 gallon corny keg. You can get two 2.5 gallon kegs in the 60qt cooler if you have one with connectors and one without connectors. You can get two of the 60qt ice cube cooler for about the same cost as one 70qt...

Wouldn't a larger ID beer hose work the same way to balance the system. All of the long narrow pub/bars I've been in only had beer taps at one location, directly above the keg/cask storage area.

I use 100grams (1/2C) in my 5 gallon corny for priming and after 3 weeks @ room temp (65F) I have about 27 to 29 PSI.

I'm using a 2 1/2 gallon corny keg as a big seltzer bottle. I put about 1 1/2 gallons of water in the keg, set the CO2 at 35PSI and shake the keg for a few minutes, disconnect the CO2 leaving the keg with the 35PSI change. The 35PSI with the one gallon head space is enough to dispense 1 1/2...

I clean and sanitize the keg, drain out all of the sanitizer, install the lid, pressurize to seat the seal and leak check the keg. When it's time to fill I dump the pressure, install an open gas in ball lock, connect a beer out ball lock with siphon hose and fill with 40 pound of fresh brew. No...

I've brewed the Coopers Mexican Cerveza kit as per coopers' direction and I and some of my Corona and Dos Equis drinking friend like it. At two weeks of conditioning one said it tasted like Dos Equis Lite. (I'm not sure if that was good or BAD) It does need a month or more to condition in the...

I've been drinking beer with tomato juice since I first had it in Texas in the 1960's. I now use V8 instead of straight tomato juice. Mr.Beer Lager goes very well with V8 (your call!) Well MB lager w/V8 no long has an after taste while you're drinking it.

I have an old family recipe from my grand parents from the late 1800's that is very close to this recipe, It used 3 pound of Blue Ribbon malt extract and 3 pounds of table sugar in six gallons of water and bread yeast. It was bottled when the fermentation was almost finished (two bubbles rising...

I just set the corny keg on the bathroom scales and add 38lbs of beer (4.75 gallons), I didn't tell the guy in the liquor store how I emptied a 1/6 keg in two, but he call me SIR.:)
