I bought some stuff off of Keg Cowboy Website Sunday. I do not receive an email confirming the order. I found the stuff with a Google search. When I looked at their website today, there was a message saying the website and retail store were down beginning in November and would likely be back up...

Got the score sheets. RIS was thin and over carbed. Thinking about it I know they're right. Bummed out. I thought I was doing well. Still have a lot to learn and improve.

I submitted my year old Russian Imperial Stout to the Iowa Brewers Union Open today. It is my first contest. I am excited to get feedback from people other than family.

I was going to transfer an Oktoberfest to secondary to lager for a few months. LBS guy said lager in corny. I am going to transport the finished product a couple of hundred miles to a party. My question is does lagering settle out compounds that will be re-introduced to the beer if the...

I am going to turn a cooler I own into a three tap jockey box. I am going to use shanks and faucets from my kegerator, a three circuit cold plate. I need this for a June party. Anyone have a parts list for connectors from the keg to the rear shanks, from the rear shanks to the cold plate and...

I've got an oatmeal stout with English yeast. It has thick creamy looking krausen two weeks from brew day. Not had that happen before. I don't know if this one is ever going to drop. Has anyone ever had a krausen that did not drop when the beer matured?

I am planning a wood sculpture. The kettle level will have a propane burner on the stock stand. Height of the entire unit is 12". Do I have to put something like Durock on the shelf under the burner to prevent charring of the 1/2" plywood shelf? How close can the burner be to the shelf...

If you did not need a blow-off tube for the last five beers even though you attached one, the sixth when you don't will make you re-paint. If you drink the best beer you ever made, you will only have one because you found it months after you consumed the rest of the batch. (Feel free to...

Any physics types know which would use more water, an immersion chiller or a counterflow chiller given the following assumptions: Same length an diameter of copper tube both chillers Same source water temperature Same wort volume Same target temperature for the wort

I paid a welder $60 to weld a coupler into my kettle. He welded it flush. The inside threads will not now take a male 1/2" fitting. Is there a fix?

I thought I would upgrade to use an immersion chiller. I needed a bulkhead in the pot. I hired a welder. He charged $60. I thought it high but paid it. He welded the coupler flush on the inside. He also either got slag in the inside threads or cooked them. The plan was to use a stainless pickup...

1. I started putting it together. The 3/8" pipe does not leave much room for waterflow in the 1/2" "T". How much water flow does one of these need? 2. I have put another "T" at the cold end to attach a 1/2" female threaded fitting. I am going to put a thermometer there to monitor output...

Building counterflow chiller 3/8" copper. Is the wire wrap I've seen on the internet necessary?

I brewed with it in the 30s in the garage today. BYO Stone IPA. The recipe is basic. Two row and crystal 40. Mash temp was 149. I hit it. 15 minutes later 147. I get a wild hair. Rather than dilute the mash to heat it, pull a decoction. I ended up pulling 3 two-quart decoction before I had...

My LBS is phasing out carrying White Labs. I wanted to use WL007 for a Stone IPA Clone. (I read on here that is what Stone used to use). Brew shop guy told me 1335 might work as a substitute. Does anyone have an opinion?

I am going to try to brew two times a month and get water figured out. What's yours?

Does anybody have experience with Keg Connection's reconditioned new keg?

I am going to do a Stone IPA Clone recipe (BYO). The recipe calls for 15 SRM crystal. Beersmith gives you a choice between 10 SRM and 20 SRM. My question is "when trying to adjust beer color to match Stone's published stats, is it better to use a larger quantity of 10 SRM crystal or a lesser...

Okay. I'm gonna start with a confession. I'm twelve (mental age anyway ) . I bought taps and shanks from keg connection. The twelve year old part of me took the stuff out of the box and played with it before I put it together. Tried to put one faucet together with shank-- leaked like a sieve...

I am setting up a kegerator. I will have three taps. How long will a refrigerated keg on gas last before it goes bad or gets bad flavors?
