Yup, the pictures were post star-san in tube. Swished around with cap, and drained. I have the cap off and the whole pipe upside down (slanted) on a clean towel to dry. I may drill a couple holes in the screw cap (or buy a second one for dedicated drain/dry use)

Ugh, and I have one sitting in the living room for Christmas, and it still didn't occur to me.

I brew in the garage, the same place that has sawdust and grinding dust + spiders and general dirt. So I store most stuff inside, in plastic bins. I have a shoebox size plastic bins for kegerator plumbing parts, tap parts, O-rings and corney keg parts, etc. I have a white 20gal "Brute"...

fair enough, I worry about general garage funk (grinding dust, carb cleaner overspray etc). I generally put the rubber covers over the unused spouts, but thought if I was down a spout or two for a length of time (get lazy, buy a commercial keg taking up the space of two cornys), a stainless...

Quick question, when I'm not using all three taps, I'd prefer to keep the faucet off the kegerator where it can stay clean. That leaves the shank exposed or the hole in the fridge if I pull the shank. The kegerator is in the garage and means that either I pull the whole shank faucet combo and...

I got a valve, and the greenlee punch this week, still waiting on a diptube (ordered). For handles I bought some stainless u-bolts, but haven't had a chance to install them. Will update when I do. Been a busy couple months, project has been on hold - been having to drink commercial beer :)

Already hit the edges with the flap wheel, you can drag your finger around the edge without cutting. Yes I'll probably add a handle or two. Life got in the way, and my wife had an accident, so I've been dealing with that, but I've been looking at some handles. Finding a non-china made...

I'm sure this is old hat to most of you folks, but maybe someone can learn from my mistake. The kegerator sits in the garage, and is used most days, but goes some days without use when I go out of town. Invariably, I wouldn't clean out my drip tray for a couple weeks and the beer drippings...

Wilserbrewer, just ordered the grand slam referencing the above measurements.

So it took me two months, but I finally had some time to cut the top collar off the coors keg per wilserbrewer's suggestion. Found a lid at the goodwill that fit perfectly. pics:

In for the drawing and placing my order now, thanks!

Thank you both, I'm glad I'm over-thinking this. So far beer making seems to be very forgiving, I just get befuddled by all the technique variations. Awesome Good news, I won't be rinsing, at least not the first time round. Even better news That's perfect, sounds like an easy first brew...

This might be overly relying on help without enough education, but I want to do my first BIAB as I'd like to graduate from extract kits. If this is too much of an ask, I'd appreciate links and guidance to figure everything out. Most people seem to say that after the 60min mash, the keggle and...

OK, I drew the rough boundaries and linked the municipal water report. If/when I run a actual sample from my tap, I'll drop a pin with the info.

Late to the party, but I'm happy to help. I can draw the boundaries for Salem, OR, and I know how to add the pins. For info, do I need to send a sample of my tap water out, or can I just post the city water report details? Salem's water report It's mostly about solids and baddies, no pH or...
