After work yesterday, I couldn't wait to get home & try a nut brown & stout that have been kegged for a few weeks. Finally, 4 tappers all working at once!! Opened up my keezer to check before firing up the fans(luckily) & heard a dripping sound. WTF! The keg with the stout had been leaking...

Hello All, Just hooked up a Taprite dual body regulator to a 20lb. CO2 tank for the keezer I built. When the cylinder is opened up, the regulator makes a hissing noise continuously. I sprayed starsan on all connections & don't see any leaks. Is it normal for the reg. to make noise while gas...

Hello Gang! Thought I'd share some pics of my keezer build. Many good ideas from you guys. Thanks! The framework is done, it is T&G ash on sides with 1" cherry trim & cover frame. I bought rough cut lumber & made all the trim. The top is birch veneer & I drew a "Feit Brau" logo on it...

Hey All, I'm in the process of building a keezer & plan on using a Johnson Controller. I don't want to submerse the probe (maybe just paranoid!) so I thought I'd tape it to a bottle of water & insulate. Would this be effective or problematic? I assume it's better than dangling in the air...

I know this has been discussed before, so sorry if redundant, but how do you know how much corn sugar to use for natural priming a keg? I've read 1/2 cup & 1/3 cup, but have'nt found a real measureable amount depending on style as i used for bottling. Is this just a "rule of thumb" or is there...

Hello All! I've been brewing tons of IPA/APA, & dark beers lately. Can't get enough hops! I've only done a few Belgians. In the past, i made a double, a wit, & a blonde which were ok. Now i'd like to try a Saison, but know little about them. I'm not a big fan of sweet, fruity beers, but...

I'm building my 4 keg keezer with 2 dual tap Perlick towers. I'm looking for a quality temp controller that is accurate & user friendly for this project. I have a Johnson A419 on my ferm chamber that works well, but doesn't appear to be waterproof. I'd like to have the probe in water inside...

Has anyone drilled through the hump in a chest freezer? It appears ther'es no lines running through it. I need to get 2 gas lines in there, without a collar. I would think it should work with a couple grommets or foam insulation around the gas line. Any advice? Thanks!

Has anyone done FWH with biab? If so, do you add a portion of hops when you lift the bag to drain? Also, does this replace late additions, or would you recommend a 60, 20, 10, 0 as usual plus the FWH? I want to try this, just looking for advice. Thanks.:D

Hello, I have a porter in primary & thought it may be cool to use maple syrup for priming instead of corn sugar. I have some real home made syrup & i was wondering if 4.5 oz. for about 5.25 gal. would impart any flavor? I don't want alot of flavor, just a hint. Anyone done this? Also, i...

Hey All, This is my first post of many so i wanted to say hello & share a little info. I've been brewing for just over a year and a half now- lovin' every minute of it! I've done about 20 extracts & 12 all grain BIAB, which is awesome. I'm finally planning my keezer & can't wait to start...
