    Dual immersion chiller

    I have a copper immersion chiller, works ok, I do full 5 gallon boils, seems to take longer than my impatient self likes to cool. I bought some equipment off craigslist from a guy who doesn't brew anymore. I'm wondering if I can use both chillers, one as a pre-chiller, which I'd immerse in...

    Tracking down leak

    I'm a newbie in the kegging world. I built my keezer, and LOVE it, as does my bride. I currently have 4 kegs in there. The latest one I put in there was 3 weeks ago. I went to have a brew last night from the newest one, and no beer came out. I checked inside, and the Co2 tank is empty...

    Nitro - too foamy

    I have a nitro faucet and have a stout hooked up to it. Initially I didn't have a beer gas tank, so carbed it with C02 at 10 - 12 lbs, which I think is what most people do anyways. I now have my beer gas tank, set it for 30 lbs to start, and it's all foam. Looking for guidance.

    Wrong yeast question

    I'm kind of a newbie, have a half dozen extract batches under my belt. Not a bad one yet, I might add. I have 2 kits to brew, one is an Irish Red, the other a session IPA. For some stupid reason, I picked up the wrong yeast, and am wondering what effect that will have on the end product. I...

    Nitro regulator issues

    Finished my keezer, have 3 brews on tap, one is a java stout. Hoping to use my Guiness tap handle and beer gas tank. The regulator is having issues. It doesn't regulate! Ask it to do one simple thing..... Anyways, the dial just keeps kreeping up, 2, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80! You get the...

    Coffee Stout question

    I bought an extract kit for a coffee stout. A couple of questions. How anal do I have to be in cleaning the coffeemaker, or is there a better way to make the coffee? The instructions say to use a drip coffeemaker and brew it strong.

    Nitro question

    I have a stout I'd like to put on nitro. I have all the equipment. My question is do I car it with the co2 first and then put it on the beer gas?

    T. Mac's Keezer build

    Finally getting my keezer build underway. It was just before Christmas when the CP (Chief Procurer, aka wife) gave me the ok to build a keezer. First you need to know that she's a little late to the party on the craft beer/homebrew scene. She couldn't stand those heavy, dark" beers. Now, much...

    Supporting heavy lid

    I'm in the process of building my keezer. I do plan on posting some pics when I get organized. My biggest concern is how heavy the lid is. I was thinking of using these type of supports (shown in the picture), but after reading some of the questions on amazon, these are installed in the open...

    Nitro regulator

    I picked up a beer gas cylinder, have the stout faucet, was looking to get a nitrogen regulator, when I found this one at work. Any reason why it won't work? What is the proper setting for porters/stouts?

    Stout handle

    I purchased some tap handles at a garage sale for a couple bucks. Planning on using them for decoration. I wasn't even thinking at the time, but this one was in there, a complete stout handle! I have a nitrogen tank so am super pumped. I'm sure it's been sitting around for a while, so will...

    Reusing yeast question

    I harvested yeast from an IPA I brewed a few weeks ago when transferring it to a secondary. I only had pint sized mason jars, so I filled 3 of those up, threw a little bit away that wouldn't fit. I am planning on brewing tomorrow. What is the process for pitching used yeast? I know to...

    Keezer lines through freezer lid

    Just getting going on my build. Going to do coffin style, have the taps in a "house" that will sit on top of the freezer lid. Planning on 6 taps. Initially I bought a tub drain at Home Depot to screw to the lid and route the lines through. The opening is 6". After thinking about it, do I...

    Fitting question

    I need some help with my fittings. I'm not a plumber, not all that familiar with fittings at all, so take it easy on me :). I'm getting ready to start my keezer build, have ordered some of the products to have on hand. The manifold came today, as did the mfl disconnects. Also, the push to...

    External temp controller

    I futzed around a bit with the coarse adjustment screw on my freezer, but have had second thoughts. The control is in the front of the freezer, and I'm building a cabinet around it, so if I need to adjust it, I'll need to partially disassemble the keezer. I don't want a door or panel for access...

    Shank connection

    I ordered some perlick/shank combos on Black Friday special. The shanks have the nipples on them. I'm building a tower, was hoping to use Jon Guest fittings for the 90 degree elbow. Trying to figure out how big of a deal it is, or if I should just use what I have. How often to you have to...

    Regulator question

    This regulator was laying around work, and am hoping it will work for my Co2 tank. Any reason why it wouldn't?

    Tower or not

    I picked up a 6.9 cubic foot freezer at HD for $158 this weekend to start my keezer project. My initial thought was to go with a collar for ease of installing the faucets, etc, but the towers, or ones with a "box" sitting on top of the freezer with the taps up there do look pretty sweet. I've...

    Reusing yeast

    I will be bottling a batch tonight. I have another extract kit that uses the same yeast. The O.G. of the first beer is 1.062. Unfortunately I can't brew today, so throwing it on the existing yeast cake isn't an option. I've never done that, so have some questions on that as well. The beer...
