    Substitute Pineapple Puree for Corn Sugar?

    The wife is contemplating making a Cider House kit and subbing in pureed pineapple for some/all the corn sugar the kit says to use. Has anyone done the math to find out how much pineapple it takes to supplant a pound of corn sugar?

    Draft Tower Shank Query

    Hello, A former friend of mine had a commercial kegerator whose draft tower shanks had long "tails" with threaded connections at the ends instead of barbed connections. I'd like to replace the shanks in my kegerator with those but I cannot seem to find them online. So I thought I'd consult...

    Texas DFW Area - I see a lot of brewing equipment for sale

    Just a general observation but apparently there's a lot of equipment being offered for sale around DFW. I see it listed here, FB Marketplace, Craigslist; generally around. Just feels like many are giving up the hobby and moving on. I wonder if that's because of the lack of local suppliers...

    Omega English Ale I is a beast

    I had a package of OYL-006 that got shoved to back of the fridge and mostly forgotten. The bag was as inflated as it could be as well. I'm going to brew an English Golden Ale this Sunday and said what the hell....if it isn't viable, I can buy some English Ale yeast locally. Knowing this was...

    Gravity Measurement: Brix vs Specific Gravity

    I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere but my Googlefu is broken at the moment. The entire 11 years I've been brewing, I've used specific gravity measurements as part of my process. However, I see some brewers and some equipment using Brix. Is there an advantage to one over the other...

    Faucet Shank to Compression Adapter

    Hello all, I haven't been able to ask Google the correct question to get the answer I'm looking for so I thought I'd try the hive mind here. My jockey box came set up with the neoprene grommet and ferrule set up. Those failed while in use and I'm looking for a better solution than hose and...
