    Want to increase the abv

    I made this lagunitas clone recipe in the past and loved it, plus I added some peach extract too. Came out great. However, I want it to be a little stronger than the original 4% or so abv. I would like it to be around 7%. What should I add and how much? - 5lb 9oz light DME -...

    Taking growler in luggage on a plane

    Gas Line Barbed Connections only?

    So I am a 1st timer getting started with my equipment and seeking to go with threaded connections instead of barbed for ease of cleaning for my ball lock connections. Are connections for CO2 only barbed? I am looking at c02 splitters and all mention barbed. Is it because you never clean Co2...
