    Cutting AiH Keg Gas Dip Tubes

    I just chopped down my gas in dip tubes to be able to get that last little bit of sanitizer out. It took a little trial and error so I wanted to pass along what I found and maybe save you some time. For the new kegs sold by Adventures in Homebrewing, just between 3/4” and 13/16” is perfect...

    Would You Dump Cone On Slow Fermentation?

    I have a painfully slow fermentation going in a unitank with a massive (9lb/Bbl) dryhop charge. The fermentation is slow due to an under pitch of Imperial Juice (The starter was doing its best impression of a volcano. There were significant losses). The hops have now been in the tank for 11...

    Flask Brush Source

    I’m on the hunt for a proper brush to clean 5000ml flasks. I’ve found a few listed on laboratory supply sites, but they don’t seem to sell to the public. I found one that looks perfect directly from the manufacturer, Justman, but the minimum order quantity is three. They have both a 21” and 30”...

    Volcanic Starter Overflow - Contamination Problem?

    Hi Folks, I have a starter that’s erupted twice now and I’m concerned about nasties using what’s on the exterior of the flask as a ladder to get into the good stuff. I’m also concerned about how much good yeast has either left the building entirely or is stuck to the interior wall of the flask...

    What's Actually Happening When you Pull a PRV? Like Sciencewise, Bro.

    I'm hoping someone smarter than I can break down exactly what is happening when we pull a PRV on a pressurized keg or fermenter. It sounds straightforward, but is it? I've been kegging for a few years and recently decided I haven't given this enough thought as I try to hunt down all the...

    Inkbird ITC-308 WiFi Use/Connectivity Options

    So this has WiFi and an app. Does anyone know if this has an official browser control page or an easy enough way to talk to it? When I first saw it I thought for $7 more it's kinda cool and kinda meh. But if you could talk to it outside of the app plus the small miracle of webhooks you could do...

    Not Your Grandad's Foamy Keg - Weird Issue - I Promise

    Disclaimer: I've read it all. I've even posted about this previously. Now I've narrowed the issue down some. I have a well balanced system with proper line lengths and while I do have flow control faucets, I get great pours without touching the control. Keezer is at 36°F and this beer is on...

    Where do folks enjoy buying 55lbs grain sacks when you have no LHBS?

    Just moved to DC from Boston. Had a great LHBS 10 minutes away. Shot out to Jim and the crew at Weymouth Homebrew Emporium! The LHBS picture in DC is grim. Two look decent, but they are well over an hour away roundtrip. The "shop" actually in DC is a room connected to a brewery, 3 Stars...

    How Long Is Too Long To Wait Before Pitching Yeast? (yeah, I've read the other threads)

    Happy Thanksgiving, folks! My lbs has been in the process of moving to a new location. I'm brewing on Saturday and will not be able to get yeast until Friday at 11am. Usually, I'd gingerly make a starter on a stir plate three days before brewing and one of those days would be in the fridge...

    Massachusetts Nice kegerator for sale in MA - $200

    Kegerator I wish worked for me for sale I thought was worth posting. I emailed the owner and discovered my ball-locks with the rubber handles are just a wee bit too tall. Otherwise, it would be in my garage. He was nice enough to take accurate internal measurements and I can affirm he is not a...

    Any Recommendations for a Drinking Water Safe Garden Hose

    Title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for a good quality garden hose that is drinking water approved. Something 75-100 feet in length. After a very through reading (three beers worth of time) of Amazon reviews, it seems everyone hates their hoses. Anyone have something they actually like...

    How to clean new ball valves before FIRST use?

    Hi Folks, I'm curious to hear how people clean ball valves before the first time they are used. I know all about cleaning them once they have been in use. I am concerned about any oils or chemicals left behind from the manufacturing process only. SS Brewtech says: "It is important that...

    WTB: Blichmann Burner Extension Legs

    Howdy. I'm looking for two sets of extension legs. One for a Blichmann Floor Burner as well as a set for the Hellfire Burner. I'm in 02130. Skoal!

    Spike Brewing 3pc SS Ball Valve with Male Thread

    Spike Brewing is selling 3pc SS valves with one male end eliminating the need for one nipple. Anyone have experience with these? It's certainly a cool idea. My question boils down (see what I did there?) to is - do you all think one less thing to clean and a smaller footprint is worth...

    MLT sightglass value IF you only underlet?

    Howdy, I'm reworking a MLT for a 3v herms setup and considering adding sightglass. I only fill the MLT by underleting from the HLT which does have a sightglass so by simply subtracting I do know the volume that has made it out and into the MLT. I see sightglasses on MLTs of other brewers set...
