Okay, I know we that bottle have many bottle openers. I personally have a collection of them ranging from Bud to Grainbelt some even from paint stores with a bottle opener on one end and a paint can opener on the other. I have not counted my collection in many years but last count was near 50...

I have brewed beer on a Nuwave induction cooker. It's not ideal but it got the job done. I don't know how many watts they are. Right now I live in a little tiny apartment with no stove. In a few months I'll be moving into my own house and might have to look the bigger induction cookers up for...

Thought I'd better update this thread. After a week in the bucket I transfered this to a carboy. It was clearing out nice util I noticed that white furry $#*% growing on top after a week. I had to dump all 5 gallons. Don't know if it was a sanitation issue or what. Might try again next year.

Okay, so i finally got all the ingredients and time to do this. I'm going to start this tomorrow afternoon. I plan on putting the peaches in the blender and mixing everything in my 7.5 gallon bucket. I only have 20 lbs of peaches so i hope its enough for a 5 gallon batch. The only thing...

Here they say they were "investigating" this. Why didn't they say that in the forum instead of " its not us" I have a serious problem with that!

I want to make it completely clear that I'm not leaving Midwest because they were hacked or even that the hackers got my cc info. I'm leaving midwest because they lied to us. They said it wasn't them flat out. They should have said we're investigating it, but they didn't. I just think they...

They said "It's not us" didn't they! They didn't say we're investigating this! they told us flat out NO it's not US! As far as their $25 GC If I'm one of the lucky ones to get one I'll tell them where to put it. I put my last order in to Midwest They won't get any more of my business.

I for one would rule out Glenwood Springs water. I've been there drank the water and is much better than the swill I have to work with here. I don't know what else to say. I'm kinda a newb. I might have missed if you use a fermenting chamber or what you use to control temps but, I had...

The dishwasher MindenMan? I guess if it is suppose to sanitize your dishes it should pasteurize the wine. I did not think about the plastic bottle trick though. And thats funny cuz i used it when i started brewing beer. I don't know if i can get to the lower 60's. I'll put my thermometer on...

Yeah thats what i my figures look like. Is there a certain temp i should ferment at for better results? I ferment in my basement and its pretty constant at 68 F.

Thanks for the input guys! I think i'm gonna try both ways a 3 gallon batch of arpolis' and a 1 gallon batch of bluespark's. I don't have any wine chemicals so i'll have to make a trip to my lhbs tomorrow. Edit... okay so after reading and going over a second time i realised i don't have a 3...

I have a peach tree out back that has more peaches than i can preserve and make into wine. I'm looking for a recipe for a sparkling drink that would be real peachy and sweet and come in at about 5% ABV. I' m thinking of using a beer yeast that would putter out at about 5 or 6% but i could...

More Beer's Irish red here

Thanks gumpbrew orings worked perfect. I got my new flare fittings in the mail today and had a great trouble free beer out of my kegerator. Ahhh beer! :mug:

Hey, I got the same problem! Just cracked my first keg tonight and both liquid and gas leak. I just used the standard replacement set cuz it didn't say it was for one or the other. So what size worked for you? Or did you just eyeball it?

Thanks guys. I guess I'll just have to break down and buy a couple more disconnects with MFL fittings. It will probably make things much easier anyway.

What's wrong with using cold water with oxi? Only asking cuz I'm a newbie to kegs and thats how I cleaned mine! Kinda worried now.

Okay, I've seen that 3/16" tubing is okay for liquid side on 1/4" barb disconnect. Can 5/16" Tubing be tightened down on a 1/4" barb disconnect on gas side ? Or should I use 3/16" on gas gas also? I just kegged my first keg with priming sugar and I'm putting my kegerator together while it...

well I just stumbled upon this post today. Add me to the list. I purchased the 4 pin-lock keg deal from midwest and on 7-9-13 I had 2 charges that weren't from me. One was for auto parts in Utah for $216 and the other was for baby stuff in NM for $246. I'm NOT saying Midwest is to blame...
