Any reason to not use 1/4” compression sleeves or ferrules along with a compression nut to attach 3mm x 6.5mm EVABarrier tubing to a typical angle stop valve with 1/4” compression fitting? I want to replace the braided stainless hose with PVC liner that feeds my refrigerator from an angle stop...

I'm thinking about a CIP pump for my cleaning needs. Plan is to have a spray ball discharge upward from a riser pipe that an inverted keg sits over the top of. I have 20+ sankey kegs that get used as serving/fermenting vessels. Stems will be removed for this cleaning process. Spray head and keg...

It’s been several years since we threw an Oktoberfest party. Just finished prepping 20 lbs of German Bratwurst and 20 lbs of Portuguese Linguica. These will get washed down with 35 gallons of Helles Bock, Festbier, Munich Dunkel, and a Hazy IPA (for the hipsters…) Prost!

Just randomly felt like sharing my latest aha brewing moment. For my first several years of brewing I’ve strictly built up yeast starters from single packets of liquid yeast over what has usually been the coarse of a weeks time and 2-3 stages to obtain cell counts high enough for 10-15 gallon...

My original plan was to build a conical from a sankey keg, however since I got used to fermenting in regular sankeys with a floating dip tube, the lure or the conical dump has faded away. I've also switched over to dry yeast (500g bricks) and brew much less frequently so I have no desire to...

Just saw these for the first time. Who is using them? What are your experiences? Who can take my money first??? I'm sick and tired of plastic duotight fittings breaking all the time because of the breakdown from Starsan in my sanitizing process. Will this solve all my answers?? Aliexpress...

Disclaimer: First post in the winemaking section and haven't made any wine myself, strictly beer. So I'm not aware of the various stages or procedures that take place between crushing grapes/buying juice and pouring a glass of wine. What sort of applications would be ideal for using kegs...

My gaskets on my Perlick growler filler need replacing. Anyone have a source or know what size they are? Stainless Steel Growler Filler - Fits Perlick 630SS & 650SS | MoreBeer Thanks 🍻

Anyone know of a good source to find bulk dry malt extract (DME)? I'm kinda tired of buying multiple 3lb bags at around $4.33/lb for the purpose of building multi-step yeast starters. I'd like to have a couple 5 gallon buckets on hand with gamma lids and scooper to always have enough...

I ferment in sanke kegs and usually rack to another one for fining/carbonating before then transferring to serving kegs. I'm planning a NEIPA and considering carbonating on the yeast cake and then transferring directly to serving kegs. The plan would be to let it ferment /dry hop as normal, then...

Anybody know of a source for weld in bungs that standard corny keg 40+psi PRV's thread into? I know they make threaded ones that use a gasket but I want a weld in version. Worst case is a salvage some old corny lids and cut them out myself.

Just saw this for sale now locally in the US. Hard to beat the price for what it is. This in combination with an upright freezer or refrigerator for a ferm chamber seems like a simple way to go for 25+ gallon batches. I'd use one of bottom ports for a thermowell, the other for a racking arm with...

Just curious of any interesting ways to save/minimize cooling water. I’ve settled on collecting mine in these (3) 32 gallon garbage cans. I could probably fill another half of one at the end of knockout, but I let that bit run off into the dirt for now. This is enough to cool 14 gallons of wort...

I picked up a handful of 5 gallon water jugs that I want to start filling at the neighborhood grocery store fill station for brew day. What lids are you guys using? Is there a simple pop on/pop off style? I can only find ones that don’t seem to come off very easy. Cheers 🍺

It’s been a month or two since I cleaned my fermenting equipment since last racking (shame on me) but I quickly rinsed parts and left them alone. I used the duotight check valve keg filler apparatus to fill my kegs under pressure. Anyway, flash to yesterday when I start breaking down my...

Browsing my local restaurant supply store, I came across a 50lb sack of dextrose monohydrate in the baking aisle. Is this the same stuff used for brewing? I'm considering making some seltzers and have been looking to buy some corn sugar. This stuff is $.73/lb.

These appear to be brand new manufacture. If you're local to the area and can pick up in person, $175 seems like a great price if the seller will go for the transaction. Keg 15.5 gallon, 6” tri clamp top opening, 1.5” tri clamp side drain | eBay The otherwise ship to price seems in line with...

Brining my turkey right now to prep for Thanksgiving. Part of me wants to toss some of the extra cascade I have in the freezer into my turkey brine. Anybody ever use hops like this? 🦃🍻

I'm planning on brewing a Helles Bock with WLP 833 (I've never used it before). I ferment in 1/2 bbl sankey kegs. I normally stick to 12-13 gallon batches and haven't had any issue with krausen blowing over. I'm curious what experience people have with this yeast when it comes to how much...

Browsing for kegs online, I stumbled on these Rutten Bolz 50L 316-Stainless Steel Formulation Pressure Vessel Tank Barrel also on their ebay site Rutten Bolz 50L 316-Stainless Steel Formulation Pressure Vessel Tank Barrel | eBay Appears to be a 316 SS 50 L "keg" that was used for who knows...
