I'm selling a bunch of homebrew stuff, basically a nice stainless 5 g kettle, Speidel tank, and other stuff. See the ad here: Beer homebrew kit 5 gallon - general for sale - by owner It's an all or nothing deal, I need to move it out. EDIT: given away.

Aargh. Go to get beer, PSI=0. I had been doing fine with 3 kegs and various fittings; perhaps the 4th I just filled leaked at lid or something. And of course it's on a Sunday and no CO2 available anywhere. I'm trying to swap out a tank tomorrow; probably will get a 5lb spare. I have my...

I'd got a CA common in the fermenter, been in two weeks. Fermentation seems to have picked up a bit, perhaps cuz it's a bit warmer. Maybe four bubbles every minute. Original gravity was 1.045; final should be about 1.015. I haven't taken a gravity yet pending the answer to this query. I'm...

Whoa...guess this means beer is finally hitting the big time. Went into my local Costco today and for the first time I saw pallets and pallets of great beer. They've always had some variety cases and what not of microbrew, but now it's bottles of Chimay Duval, Firestone, Ommegang (3 bottles...

Does anyone have any recommendations for water flavorings? I'm looking for the sort of thing you add to carbonated water; I'd prefer sugarless. This will be for drink-by-drink use, not kegging. Kinda like Sodastream. They'll be used both for full-on soda (like root beer) and lighter...

I'm wondering, being a newb, on when it's time to keg. I see lots of info on when to bottle a particular beer, and then about how long it takes to age. But not so much on when to keg and aging in the keg. Other than increasing the amount of undesired sediments that would otherwise be left in...

I thought I could find a container for measuring liquids, but the largest I've found is one liter. Any suggestions for something bigger, up to one gallon or four liters? Imperial and metric would be a plus.

Sorry if this has been discussed; I sure couldn't find it. I'd like to know how people have attached a 20lb CO2 cylinder to a smallish keezer, say the 7 cu ft size. I have my keezer on a dolly, and although I can keep it from moving I'm still concerned about the tank. Attaching to the wall...

I'm trying to figure out this whole air fittings thing. I know the difference between male and female flare fittings (eg MFL) and pipe fittings (NPT, MPT) but I'm having trouble with sizing. If I go to buy say a short section of pipe to attach to a CO2 line, what size do I use? I see 1/4"...

I'm a noob and I'm looking for a calculator that could take an existing recipe for an extract kit and halve it (or other proportion) so that I could say make two gallons rather than 5. I realize that changing the final volume does not necessarily mean chopping all the ingredients by the same...

I've found a couple of threads here about specific beers and how long they remain good (and that's obviously subjective) in kegs at say 40 degrees and under pressure. "Best before 60 days" seems like a sort of conservative consensus. Since I'd like to ultimately get some variety going, but...

Just a heads-up: Home Depot has the GE 7.0 freezer on sale for $158 with free shipping.
