I'm heading to Firestone on Black Friday for the Parabajava release. Just wondering if there's much trade interest in this.

Can anyone tell me the approximate shelf life of rice syrup solids? I ask because I ordered and received a pound from Amazon and the label on the bag is from a company called Crosby and Baker. Well Crosby and Baker were acquired by BSG in April of 2011, so I'm guessing this bag is pretty old.

Pulled my first pour from my kegerator last night. Beer tastes great, but needs a bit more carbonation. I upped the pressure on the regulator 2psi but I'm wondering how long will it take to equalize?

48 hours in, it's in the neck of the carboy. Fingers crossed.

Does anyone have plans or a parts list to build a simple filter to dechlorinate tap water? I'm thinking something along the lines of a Pentek filter housing with a cartridge and some way to connect it to a faucet. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I'm going to be kegging a milk stout this weekend. I'm making some cold brew coffee to add to it but I'm unsure how much to add. It's a 5 gallon batch. Thanks!

If you have John Guest fittings on your kegerators gas side, can you tell me what tubing you are using? I'm having a hard time with leaks and I think it may be the tubing I'm using (1/4" od vinyl). I tried subbing in some semi-rigid PE tubing, but that seemed to leak more than the vinyl. I'm at...

I'm currently fermenting a milk stout, it'll be done with primary in a week and a half. It's currently occupying my mini fridge, which I need free for my next batch. I'm planning to rack it to a keg, but I'm not sure what to do after that. I have a few choices: 1. Seal the keg up and condition...

I have a Rubbermaid/Home Depot 10 gallon round cooler as a mash tun, it has a screw on lid. I bought a bag for it (http://www.brewinabag.com/collections/frontpage/products/the-brew-bag-for-coolers) and I have a dumb question. With the bag hanging over the outer edges of the cooler, will the...

Finally convinced the wife to issue a po for a garage kegerator project. I spent some time scouring craigslist and visiting random strangers until settling on this Whirlpool 18 cubic foot freezer top refrigerator. I removed the interior shelving and built a single shelf to support the corny...

I received my regulator today and I have a question about how it seals to the cylinder. The regulator has an O-ring at the input connector, but taped to the packaging is a small nylon bushing. The instructions don't mention the bushing at all, what am I supposed to do with it?

Just picked up a 20# aluminum co2 cylinder from Craigslist. I'm unsure about the date, I'm guessing (hoping?) it's 9/2011.

Anyone here familiar with Tioga Sequoia beers? They make a Mt. Whitney XPA that I really enjoy and would like to clone. Thing is I'm very new to recipe building and I'm not sure how to pick out malts and hops based on flavor yet. If anyone's tried this beer and can point me in the right...

I'll be acquiring a full size freezer top fridge soon and am planning on converting it to a 4 tap kegerator, how important is the shank length? I was planning to just order a set of 5" and run them through the fridge door and a 2x4 for support inside the fridge. How useful is a pressure...

I need some help building a recipe from my "leftovers". I'm looking to brew a 5 gallon batch, here's what I have currently: Hops: 1.5oz Northern Brewer whole 1oz Cascade whole 4.25oz Fuggle pellet .5oz Sorachi Ace pellet 5.5oz Citra pellet 10.5oz Mosaic pellet Grain: 1.6lb Bohemian Pilsner...

Looking to build a kegerator, and I'm in the early planning stages. It seems there are a few ways to plumb the beer lines. Bevflex with either barbs or pushed onto 1/4 flare swivels, or BevSeal Ultra with John Guest fittings. I'm leaning towards the BevSeal Ultra & John Guest side. Thoughts...

What's the best current mini fridge for a 2 tap kegerator conversion? I was eyeing the Frigidaire thread as it has a removeable freezer, but it's no longer in production. Thanks!

Anyone catch the Drew Beechum recipe in the newest Beer Advocate? (Page 24) I think I'm going to try brewing it, but I'm not sure on the defatting of the cake. How big is a full sheet cake? And how large of a pot would be needed to reduce it to cake slurry?

Question: I bottled an extract kit, Brewers Best Double IPA. On bottling day the sample tasted hoppy and fresh with great aroma, but then at 2 weeks in the bottle it was flat. 3 weeks in it was lightly carbed but no hop aroma. Now 4 weeks in its drinkable but not hoppy at all, with zero aroma...

Anyone have a recipe for Anchor California Lager? I can't seem to locate one, found lots for Anchor Steam, but none for the California Lager. All-grain preferred.
