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"...

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'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...

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...

I'm eventually going to go electric and I'm saving my nice bud keggle for that. Unfortunately the bud keggle is too wide in diameter to fit inside the ring of my propane burner. I got an old coors keg (potbelly), that fits the burner perfectly though. Downside to the coors keg, is if I cut...

I got an old dented keg as part of a bulk craigslist homebrew supply purchase. I depressurized and removed the spear just to see what was involved. Because of all the dents, this will not become a keggle, so I reassembled, and I'll probably just trade it as a deposit on my next commercial beer...

This is my first adventure with cider. I used the whole foods organic, no additive cider that comes in the nice 1 gallon bottles. I drank a little to establish headspace and then added ½ tsp of Fermaid-K & ⅕ a packet of cooper’s diy yeast to each bottle. I fermented with #6 stoppers...

I recently bought a manifold from one of our sponsors that have the ubiquitous "stainless steel" ball valves pre installed. I took them off and found a few things: The only stainless is the nipple for the hose, the body is poorly plated brass. Also, the body hex size doesn't match any of the...

So i expanded my kegerator to three taps and bought more hardware. While setting everything up I was sanitizing some other stuff and threw all the new hardware in the star san. I bought kits of beer nut, barb, washer and worm gear. Now that I reread the descriptions the barbs and the worm...
