Figured I'd write this up in case anyone runs into the same problem some day... In the wee hours this morning I toddled down to my keezer for the short pour of my big chocolate stout that is my nite cap, only to have the stout faucet refuse to close! I scrambled to stand the overflowed glass...

Spotted this article on Yet Another Homebrew Machine, surely destined for eBay used equipment sales faster than one can say "Margaritaville" ;) https://www.cnet.com/home/kitchen-and-household/i-chugged-the-last-sip-of-this-illegal-machine-brewed-beer-at-ces/ Cheers!

Happened to be checking my inventory and future hop needs, and took a look at Yakima Valley Hops to see what's up. They have a good selection of 2023 strains in stock now... Cheers!

https://www.wired.com/story/the-secret-ingredient-in-your-craft-beer-gene-edited-yeast/ IT’S 2013 AND the craft beer boom is blooming across the United States. Eager young brewers are placing huge orders for new hop varieties that will soon make IPAs ubiquitous. Citra. Mosaic. Galaxy. Beer...

I've had pretty decent luck over the years buying used fridges and freezers from Craig's List for under $125, including a pair of 17cf top-freezer fridges acquired in 2004 from two different sellers. One of those finally bled out and died about a month ago, and being down to a single...

I had this beer in cans bought from a grocery up in New Hampshire - my local package store doesn't carry that specific SN beer - and thought it was very good, definitely worthy of a clone attempt. When I got back home I checked out the Sierra Nevada site and noted they are quite free with...

Forward: I serialized this build in the "What I Did For Beer Today" thread in the General forum to pump some life into it, and since have been answering PMs about various details and referencing the pertinent posts - once I've found them again. I'm going to pull all of those posts together into...

All 16 of my ball lock kegs are ancient. I have no doubt some of them are a full 50 years old or more. With a bit of rehab work when I received them they've performed very well over the years - at least under chart pressure. But tonight I discovered one of them has a lid leak at uber low...

First, some context. I've always brewed using gas rigs, and have used various methods of managing hops in the boil kettle. When whole cones were still dominant I used muslin bags, then when the transition to pellets occurred I switched to nylon bags, and then switched to a 6"d x 20"h 400 micron...

I accidentally murdered my favorite beer glass tonight. Drilled it with the butt end of a 3 foot level like it wasn't even there. Shattered TF out of it. So many memories... Fortunately, I purchased a pair, so I have the surviving mate to help me get through this sad day...

Last winter I rehabbed my 8 year old keezer which had developed worrisome rusting on the bottom, the result of years of summer-time humidity outrunning my attempts to capture the moisture with a pair of EVA Dry 500s. They worked fine for 9 months of the year, but from June through the end of...

It's easier than you may think! So let's dive right in. This plot shows how my 8 year old keezer usually operates in similar loading and ambient conditions as today - the six kegs are roughly half full and the ambient is verging on 80°F. ON time runs between 50 to 70 minutes or so, OFF time...

Gonna break something here, just watch :D

A few years ago I decided to eliminate copper in my end to end brewing process and picked up a 50 foot 1/2" SS IC. It worked pretty well - faster than my home-wound 50' CU IC - but that used 3/8" tubing which is a pretty big difference. Anyway, one thing that always bugged me was the inside of...

Nevermind. Operator error...
