this is not my ad, but i think it would be awesome for anyone that wants to do 15 gallon batches. 20 Gallon Lab Glass Bottle

I just got a keg from a guy that was missing the gas (or "in") little dip tube. Now I have had no issues finding it. I just do not want to pay $5 shipping on a $3.50 part. My LHBS does not have them. Any ideas? Does anyone have free shipping on items this small?

Kroger's (at least the two near my house) has half gallon apple juice for 88 cents with "Kroger Plus Card." I am sure this will not last too long. .88 x 10 = $8.80 for 5 gallons of juice. Any one that has not tried Apfelwien yet this is a good chance to do it. If anyone finds...

I was dreaming last night. I was back in my high school chemistry class and i was trying to brew with DME (which i have never used because LME is cheaper at my LHBS) and table sugar. When someone put use coffee grounds in the pot i got very mad. But in the end i used it anyway. in real...

I was on ebay and I found a small swing top bottle for $2 each with free shipping. 8.5 OZ Dessert Clear Glass Bottle w/ swing top lid - eBay (item 190287527557 end time Mar-18-09 07:53:19 PDT) So I was thinking about ordering a few just to play with. 8.5oz is small, but they look cute...

I mostly keg. But I tend to bottle about 18 from each batch. I save 6 for long term storage and the other 12 are for those occasions where nothing you have on tap looks good to you. In the past I have used Cooper's Carbonation Drops which have worked great for me. No complaints about the...

So i use an online beer math calculator (link won't cut and paste right) to calculate my alcohol percentage in my beer. It seems to work well but i had a question about the alcohol by weight vs alcohol by volume. What is the difference? Why do we not just pick one and use that one? And we are...

For full details about apfelwein see: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/man-i-love-apfelwein-14860/ This is not a new idea at all and i do not take credit for it. But I thought it should get it's own thread. If you are having issues finding preservative free apple juice for your apfelwein take a...

I had this posted in another thread, but i thought it was worth mentioning on its own. Although it is a crude (i am work so I can not spend all day playing it MSpaint) Here is a quick pic to explain my idea. If i remember right co2 is heavier than most of the normal air around us. So...

Most of my cornies are Challenger V & VI's. And I have found places to order these poppets. But one of my kegs looks to be older than the rest. It says it is a Challenger but not what type. Is this a "Type C?" The kegs itself is slightly different as well. It is a standard ball lock but...

A few quick questions: 1. I know it is a keg tap, but what is it called. Is it used anymore for anything? 2. Anyone want this thing? If you can get to Cincinnati I will take just about anything in trade for it. I got it from a guy on craigslist. I got this tap, a sanske tap, faucet...

So I want to move to stainless steel. Like everyone I would like to have a conical, but unless my hypnotism classes pay off i doubt my girlfriend will go for it. So I think I will build a half barrel keg fermentor. I was hoping someone could give me better directions because My best seems a...

Sometimes when you get a new (used) soda keg there are stubborn deposits. While scrubbing at these for 10 minutes today thought, "I wish I had a pressure washer." Can anyone think of a reason this would damage the keg? How about one of those steam cleaners that you see on late night...

I made a pretty standard APA with cascades and Glacier. It was not that long ago I switched over to 6.5 gallon glass carboys. But I have done at least 4 or 5 batches in it before. My carboy sits in the basement during fermentation. There is no direct sunlight, but it is not that dark down...

It has been my dream to own a monkey that will fetch me beer. After talking to my girlfriend I have learned that I am not allowed to have a beer monkey. And since it takes a long time to raise a child to beer fetching age I am forced to look into other alternatives. I thought of training the...

I know I have read that some people do not boil their honey when making a mead or using it for priming. Is this a good idea? I am hoping to hear from someone who says, "oh yeah i do that all the time."

I know for some of the people here there no ads. But for the rest of us who don't have a premium membership we are subjected to crappy ads. The ebay ones are an okay idea. If the thread is about conicals then the ads usually is too. The most stupid one is: 5 Beers in 1 Huge Glass Giant...

Christian Moerlein is a local brewery here in Cincinnati so I am not sure how popular it is in the rest of the country. Here their lager is in most bars and grocery stores. I am trying to find a recipe for their OTR ale. It is a hoppy well balanced beer. It is the only hoppy beer my...

I do my posts from work so I can not provide a pic for this explanation. So I hope I can explain this properly. I have a leak on my spare CO2 regulator. Look at the part that screws on tank. Leading from the screw part there is a stem that attaches to the actual regulator. Where this stem...

It seems to me that I got a long fine before I learned about the auto-siphon. I broke my auto-siphon when cleaning it. The little plastic piece (I guess you may call it a valve) popped out. I had used it 4 times I think. Now I just fill a cane and hose with water and clamp it. Place the...
