For lambics and other sour beers that should sit undisturbed in the fermenter for a year or longer, it would be great if I could stick the carboy in a dark inaccessible corner of my storage room, set a calendar reminder for sometime in the distant future, and then literally just forget about it...

So I have a beer gun that I almost never use because it's I find it to be a big hassle to set up unless I'm doing 12 or more bottles. Most of the time all I want to do is fill up one or two bottles to give away. I'm in the process of upgrading my kegerator to one with all flow-control...

I recently moved into a new house where my brew space is on the roof, and fermentation space is in the basement. Carrying full glass carboys down 3 flights of stairs is an accident waiting to happen, not to mention hard on my back. So I'm switching from glass to PET carboys. I have two...

My 10 gallon cooler + bazooka screen mash tun works great for most of the brewing I do, but I want to have something bigger for when I do larger batches or really high gravity beers. I'm thinking about putting together a 60 or 70 quart rectangular cooler with copper manifold. I know the manifold...

Just moved into a new house, and I've got SWMBO convinced that a commercial kegerator should be factored into our home improvement budget. There's a corner in our media/living room that would fit this kegerator (or something like it) perfectly. My concern is noise. These are heavy duty units...

Looking for a corny keg lid - either with a working pressure release valve, or no valve at all. That is, I don't want a lid that has a hole with no valve in it. I know lids are available from various online retailers, but they're pretty expensive with shipping, even the used ones. I'm...

Flying into Denver on Friday, leaving Monday. I'll have a car as well as a DD. We'll probably stick to Denver/Boulder but can maybe make it out as far as Fort Collins. So where should I go? Only breweries I've been to in CO are Great Divide and Wynkoop - love them both, and may stop in at...

Veteran weizen brewers, I need your input! This was my first hefeweizen, so I kept it simple - 50% wheat, 50% pils, single infusion mash at 152F, 1.050 OG, 15 IBU. I added Wyeast nutrient to the boil. Chilled the wort to ~58F, oxygenated with 60 sec of O2, pitched WLP300, and set temp control...

So earlier this week, a coworker said he had an extra DLD ticket that he wanted to sell to someone who loved beer, rather than scalping it on eBay or something. I already have my tickets, but I have a buddy who really loves beer and just started homebrewing, but he wasn't able to get a ticket...

I'd like to hook up some kind of blow gun to my CO2 tank, which I could easily use to purge bottles, carboys, and kegs. One with a hand trigger or button and (ideally) detachable wands of varying lengths. Are the ones made for air compressors food-safe? I don't really want to blow a bunch of...

I really really want to brew a smoked Baltic porter, which is usually fermented with a lager yeast. Unfortunately the lowest consistent ambient temp I can find is around 60°F, maybe. That is, unless I use my kegerator as a ferm chamber for a few weeks, which I don't really want to do. The...
