Finally got the chance to brew again the other day and decided I'm going to finally do a few upgrades to my equipment. I'm having trouble finding a sight glass that fits sanke kegs with a bulge. Does anyone have an idea where I can find one? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just finished my keezer recently only planning on having three taps. I just realized that I might be able to get a fourth on the hump if the low profile coupler will clear :mug:. Does anyone have a measurement of how high the low-pro coupler sticks above the keg?

Ok possibly a dumb question but I have an Oktoberfest that is nearing its point of needing to be lagered but I was was wanting to brew my winter lager here pretty soon. So I was wondering, after I do my diacytel rest on the Oktoberfest, would it be feasible for me to leave it at room temp while...

I started brewing a little over a year ago, made the switch to all grain last winter and have slowed down considerably on my brewing because ever since I made the switch to all grain, my efficiency has been horrible. I mean 45-55%! I figured my thermometer was off so I bought a new one...

Not sure if anybody has posted this yet, but Home Depot has their GE 7 CF freezers on sale right now $51 dollars off (same price as the 5 cf). Figured I would post this just in case someone was looking for a little push to start their keezer like I was... It'll be here Saturday!

Idk if this has been posted before but I seen it on the chive and figured I share it with all you guys that have awesome man caves. How sweet would this be?

Brewed a bavarian hefeweizen with 3056 11 days ago and still have a pretty thick layer of bubbles covering the top (would post a pic but it is blurry as **** due to all the krausen on the sides). The readings on the hydrometer have stayed about the same over the past four days. I'm just...

M going to be starting my keezer build soon, and the other day I ran across a picture of a keezer that was done to look like the octagon (black fence material and and foam padding). I was thinking about doing this since I kinda have a UFC theme to "my corner" of the house. Problem is I was gonna...

Hey guys/girls, I just graduated college and am going to be moving to Houston from southern OK to start my new career. I was wondering if anyone can list some good brew pubs I need to visit while I'm down there, some good homebrew shops, and possibly the better neighborhoods to live in lol. I...

I know this isn't exactly a beer, and perhaps I just live a sheltered life, but a buddy of mine made some of this last weekend and it is ridiculous how good it tastes and how similar it tastes to Apple Pie. 1 gal of apple juice, 1 gal of apple cider and a liter of Everclear. I have the full...

All of you fellow homebrewers who want a self crafted angel on top of their Christmas tree I have the ultimate idea for you. Actually we didn't have a star to go on top of our tree so I decided to whip up something real quickly and this is what I came up with... Please no remarks on the brand...

I am going to be making my keggle over the next few days, I was wondering what diameter everyone is cutting their hole at the top. Most of the threads I read people were cutting them a certain diameter for a specific lid they were going to use with it. Any advice is much appreciated.:mug:

Received this regulator for free, it's an older one but I don't think it's ever been used. The low pressure side reads up to 160, but if I'm correct I can just replace that gauge with a lower psi one correct? Or can I just use it even though this one reads up to 160? Any help/advice is much...

Brewed my grist all grain batch the other night which was supposed to have an OG of 1.077 and wound up being a 1.038. I could not figure out what the deal was so I bought a new thermometer today and it turned out my original one was a little more than 20 degrees off! Talk about a sigh of relief...

I am going to pick up a 1940's model fridge (possible 50's owner isn't quite sure the exact year) today to convert into a kegerator. I was just curious if anyone has any helpful hints or advice in working with a fridge this old? I will be posting pics once I get started for everyone that is...

I just started brewing this summer and am already looking to get into kegging my batches, with the addition of a keezer in the near future. I'm currently in college so money is somewhat scarce so I was wondering if anybody had any input on where to get the necessary equipment to get set up. I...

Possibly a dumb question, but are the regulators used for kegging the same as used for cutting torches and what not? I just so happen to have several of these regulators, and would like to cut costs down when I decide to start kegging. Thanks in advance.

Have been brewing extract for a few months and am going to start all grain very soon. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for their favorite winter time kit, or any recipes? I'm pretty excited about starting all grain and would like a good winter brew to start out on. Any suggestions...

I just brewed a happy holiday ale a few weeks ago, but I am wanting some more variation for this upcoming winter because it is probably one of my favorite 'styles' of beer. Any advice on what I should order up next? Or any input on your favorite kits/recipes?

Idk if anyone would be interested in this but I was just cruising craigslist and ran across this. Sure would trick out a man cave! http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/bfs/2550467312.html
