I know this probably isn't the correct area so I'm apologizing in advance and hopefully someone can move it for me. Anyone have any recipes our success stories for any flavored vodkas that they have made at home? My pregnant wife loves the whipped vodkas flavors, pear and coffee flavored...

What makes glass better than a corney or a plastic fermenter?

What is the best thing to do with my beer between the fermentation and bottling/kegging stage. Right now I have a batch of xmas ale thats been in the primary for ~8wks and I'm not sure what do to with it. I already have a keg in my kegerator and dont have room for a second. I would prefer to...

How do you keep your beer lines running uphill when you are using a mini fridge and a 10ft beer line? I actually think the stainless steel beer line in my tower is below the outlet on my pin locks. I have my beer line coiled up on to of my keg, but there are still low spots where air/co2 collect.

I just found this thread and am going to try this method to help solve my foam issue. Here is my question, it seems that all the pictures posted have homemade towers with vinyl beer lines running all the way up to the top. I have a Perlick tower and it has a metal beer line that i connect my...

Ok, that makes sense. I have a mini-fridge i converted with a tower on it, so should i be more concerned with the beer line in the tower or the beer line still in the fridge? I can see the beer line in the tower getting warm, but the beer line in the fridge still should be cold enough, no...

When i first open the tap, it is very foamy for a second or two, then it calms down and pours fine. Ive been keeping a cup nearby to catch the foamy stuff first, then quickly switch glasses so i dont end up with a glass full of foam.

I was getting a lot of foam from my kegerator so i read a couple threads and thought my beer line was too short. I had a 5ft line and replaced it with a 10ft line but the foaming hasnt changed. I have it at about 40deg and 10psi. To force carb the beer i just set it at 12psi for 4-5 days before...

Just checked and its actually 7/8"

I have been slowly piecing together my kegerator, got a perlick tower off ebay, found an old but large mini-fridge on CL, and just today called keg connection to order a 2-keg kit. My problem is connecting the beer line you the tower. The tower has a 1/2" male threaded piece and I figured I...

I think i found a GE mini fridge on CL that i want to try and convert to a keggerator. Anyone have any luck? Any problems? My main concern is if anyone knows if i can fit 2 kegs in it and if the cooling lines are in the top of the fridge, i want to use a tower. Thanks.

What effect does the dishwasher detergent have?

Anyone have the part numbers for pin locks? Are they the same?

Im interested in the same answer!

I know the detergent will ruin the head on the beer, but is there any other problem? I planned on filling up a tub with star san and soaking all of my bottles in it even after running them through the dishwasher.

Im getting ready to bottle my second batch this weekend. When i drank my first batch out of these bottles i rinsed them out really well then put them back in the box they came in. I was going to run them through the dishwasher Friday night and then bottle on Saturday. What i am wondering is...

What is a good amount of time to let out clean up and settle out?

Good, I just need to get another airlock and I can brew a batch and throw it in my carboy. Thanks again for everyone's help.

Ok one other question, is there any reason you would want to use a bucket vs a carboy for your primary besides what you have available? Is there any difference between fermenting in either one??

Thats what i thought, just wanted to ask and make sure! Thanks!
