Would you wake up at 5:30 am to get a full brew day? I have the opportunity to wake up early and brew before my doctor's appointment @230 tomorrow. Would you wake up early and get in a brew day, or would you just sleep in and get smaller stuff like moving the lawn out of the way? :mug:

So I kegged a dubbel on 5/20 and set the regulator to 30 psi at 64F. I hooked the keg to the kegerator to see how it's coming along and the only thing that came out was foam. After pouring pretty much all foam and some beer I tasted to actual beer. The actual beer was flat. What gives? Should I...

I have recently moved to Parker, Co and have come to realize that there are no homebrew clubs in the area. Are there any Parker area homebrewers on this board? I have been homebrewing for a couple years now and would like to join a club, but the only one near Parker is in Castle Rock. Perhaps...

Last night I made a yeast starter and put the flask in the freezer to rapidly cool so I could pitch the yeast. Well, one thing lead to another and I fell asleep and the starter wort, w/o yeast, froze in the freezer. I have since took it out and it's thawing at the moment. I put the yeast back in...

I recently bought a CO2 regulator with a 3/8 barb on the outlet. But, when I connect a 3/8 line to the inlet of the keg, 1/4 barb, I have a leak no matter how tight I make the hose clamp. Does anyone know of what to do in this situation? I was thinking about buying another barb somewhere...

I bought a frige and bent the freezer down and there is plent of space to fit my keg and CO2 tank. Problem is that when I leave it running, even on the minimum level, the temperature gets way too cold. We are talking 20F cold. There was a coated wire that I assumed to be a thermocouple of some...

Can you convert a mini fridge that has a freezer compartment? I found a really good deal on a Magic Chef 4.4 cf fridge but it has a freezer compartment. I would like to have a tower to have the ability to add more taps. But for the price I feel like I could bite the bullet and just put one...
