BBBF- yeah that's the little guy, mine was white but same thing. again $7.50 for shipping. cilestiok- been working alot lately so haven't had a chance to look at many stores i might have to save my pennies and make a bigger order to defer shipping costs

just found $6 shipping. still not good but getting closer

During my fall keezer cleaning I noticed that the ball retainer in my sanke coupler was broken. Any one know a place that won't charge me $13+ for shipping on this $3 part? Been looking for about a week now and everyone that carries it wants insane shipping costs. your pal THE CAD

I have survived the brew and have to admit it was probably the most interesting thing I've ever made. "Magma Honey" is an understatement. The honey boils and plumes like volcanoes seen on National Geographic, spewing molten honey several feet at random. I was foolish enough to do this in...

I'm gonna try this today, since i'm off and the wife is at work. Gonna be using about 12lbs of honey and hopefully turning it into a 3 gal batch. I will be making it outdoors so i gain the challenge of fighting off attacking bees. While the wife is away, THE CAD will play. If i do not...

Had the same thing happen to me last summer. Mead was well over a year old and was shooting corks across my basement a few months after bottling. Started check the gravity again and it was still going down. About 9 months later if finally leveled off (hopefully for real this time). My FG...

why no teflon tape?

Thanks for the help. I'll get more CO2 monday and spray the entire thing down with star stan. Then see what bubbles up. Your pal THE CAD

The set up is 5lb CO2 bottle to a single dial reg to a single keg to a picnic tap.
