Hi all So I have a perlick that's leaking. I pulled it and cleaned it. It seems that the ball is seating well but won't seal when I hook it up... Can someone point me in the right direction? What should I be looking for? Also, my co2 is pretty much empty. It was running low when this cropped...

So, I took my Black Sand Stout and kegged half of it (it's waiting. . . we're waiting. . . ) and put the other half on 3lb of frozen blackberries. We wanted to do boysenberries but they're out of season and we could NOT find any. . . anywhere. . . sigh. so they've been on the blackberries for...

A year ago I built a stand out of an old pipe and the remains of a workout machine. I gave that one to the guy who had been lending me his brew equipment and who taught me to brew. Plus, I knew what I REALLY wanted to do. . . so it was already outdated! :D I had an old server stand...

I finally got time to start this thing. I haven't gotten a ton done yet as I hit a major snag which means more work, but here goes: I was given an ice-cream freezer - one of the old chest-type ones. One of the kitchens on campus wanted to get rid of it. My gain! It's 3'x3' and stands about 3...

I got an old chest-type ice cream freezer for free and am going to make it into a keezer. I'm putting together my ideas and will edit this post with the build. However, as I'm working on the design, I had a question. Is there any reason to NOT use stainless steel tube (like Tubing, Seamless...

So, we screwed up our Halloween party, and our friends' flaked with theirs. . . bah. So we've decided we're going to do a Nightmare Before Christmas party instead (heck, it gives us a couple of months! More time to procrastinate! :ban: ) but just enough time to brew a brew specifically for...

We love this beer! This is one of our wedding brews (one dark, one light) It tasted bitter to begin with, then as it warmed in my mouth, it tasted like coffee and chocolate. It's dark as sin, but clear. Not very hoppy, but then it's not supposed to be (supposedly, American Stouts aren't...

So I picked up a sanke keg on CL. It looked like it was just painted, but no, it has the plastic crap on the top and bottom. I had hoped to use this for boil, but I think I read where it's really just not worth it to get rid of all the plastic crap - messy and ugly. Am I wrong? Did I imagine...

So I had a bunch of scrap steel from an old workout machine (I mean, nobody USES those things, right? Aren't they just for hanging crap on them? LOL) and we had an old 3" pipe out back that was about 6' long. . . Hmmm. . . BREW SCULPTURE. Say good bye to using tables and lifting things up...

One of my first recipes - does it look okay? Trying to learn by looking at others around here. . . (edited based on Yooper's input - second time to lessen crystal malts and add flaked barley) Desert Moon Stout 10G - American Stout - using BrewTarget...

Hi all, I've brewed a bunch with a buddy from work and I'm finally going solo! :ban: Borrowing most of his equipment (I'll be building up my own collection) and using his recipe for a nice amber. In any case, "HI!" and very glad to find this place! Cheers M
