    Suggestions for inline quick disconnects?

    I'm looking to get some inline quick disconnects to keep my kegging system a bit more modular since I have a bad habit of frequently changing my system, especially since I got my hoprocket. I bought these last year and they work great for my CO2 lines but they have a tiny screen in the middle...

    120v heating element with gas stove top?

    Hey guys, I've been doing outdoor brewing using a turkey fryer for the past two years but I recently moved to a new place where I don't have an outdoor area to do that anymore. I've started looking into electric brewing but my apt is a rental and only has your standard 120v outlets. I've been...

    What's a good oktoberfest beer to brew?

    Me and my roommates are throwing a small Oktoberfest party at the end of October and they asked me if I could brew an Oktoberfest for it. The thing is... I pretty much brew IPA's exclusively so I don't really know any good Oktoberfest recipes. Nothing too big, I need to have it done within a...

    Outdoor Brewing stuff

    I moved to a new apt and I gotta do all my brewing outside. I figure I can make a mash tun pretty easily but I'm looking for an outdoor burner and a 7.5 -10 gal pot. Maybe an IC too, I need to see if there's a hose in the outdoor section. Obviously I would prefer to do local, but if the price...

    WTB 2 Tap Draft Tower

    I pulled the trigger and bought a minifridge online for my kegerator build. Now I need a tap tower. I found one online for 110. Anyone on here have one they are getting rid of that could give me a better deal?

    Sanyo SR-4310W?

    Anyone have any luck converting this minifridge to a kegerator for 2 ball lock kegs? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ORB6UW/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20. I did a google search and came up with nothing. A friend offered to trade this fridge to me for a fridge I have that is not possible to convert...

    Pitching onto a yeast cake tips?

    So this morning when I got to work I panicked cause I thought "oh $hit I forgot to make a yeast starter for my 8.6% beer I'm making tonight". Then I remembered I'm also planning on racking another beer to secondary for dryhopping that uses the same yeast! So for the first time ever I'm going to...

    What thermometer should I get?

    I've finally gotten sick of my analog (?) thermometer that never really reads accurately. I'm not even sure if its calibrated right. Anyway, I want to get a new digital thermometer. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not looking to spend more than 20 bucks on one.

    What fridge should I use?

    Hi guys, I looked around for a thread trying to show me a list of mini fridges for conversions that I coulda sworn I'd seen around before but I couldn't find it so maybe one of you guys can just answer the question for me. I'm trying to build a kegerator that will fit two pin lock kegs...

    What to get a Guinness guy for Father's Day?

    My siblings decided it would be a cool idea to get my dad a mixed 6pack of beers to try along with a few giftcards. The problem is the only he beer he claims to like is the Guinness from Ireland (He lived there till he was 25). He hates American Guinness. He's open to trying new beers. He always...

    Can I keep my kegs are room temp?

    Due to a few issues with where I live I had to remove my kegs from my room and I'm having a friend hold onto them until I find a new apt. The thing is, I kept my kegs in a fridge but my friend has no room for them in his fridge so the kegs are collecting dust in his closet. Is this gonna make my...

    You did what with those kegs?!?!

    So I'm walking around this arts and crafts kinda festival that Hoboken decides to throw every now and then. The girl is really interested in the crafts, I'm pretty bored. Out of the corner of my eye I see some corny kegs at one of the booths. I'm immediately interested thinking "hey homebrewing...

    Maybe making a starter makes my beer sour?

    My last 2-3 beers have been kind of sourish, I've been looking for a nice crisp IPA flavor from both of them and a few of my friends with decent palates tell me that they taste like sours. I was thinking, this problem started when I started making starters, in fact I brewed two beers since then...

    Do I need to maintain ferm temps after fermentation?

    I brewed up a batch of EdWorts Haus Pale Ale about a week ago and had it fermenting in my room at around 70 (I don't have a temp controlled ferm chamber) Since then the weather has gotten a lot warmer and since I can't sure on my AC yet my ferm strip on my bucket is reading 75. Is this gonna be...

    Does anyone have Flying Dog?

    Me and my roommates and kinda Flying Dog nuts even though we are 4 hours from their brewery. We started filling up a wall with empty flying dog bottles and I'm looking to finish off the collection with a few that I'm missing. I know that we are missing Wildeman, The Fear, and pretty much...

    Looking to trade Nugget Nectar

    I'm pretty sure Nugget Nectar is rare out of the North East. I'm looking to trade a 6 pack, maybe only 3 bottles, for some IPA from the west coast that I can't get here. I hear Pliny and Hopslam are good choices. I need it to be either 3 or 6 since I'm splitting the beers with my 2 roommates and...

    How much grain can I mash in a 5-6 gal pot BIAB?

    I have a 5 or 6 gallon pot that I use for brewing. I want to say 6 but I'm not really sure. I want to be a Raging ***** clone but its a big freakin beer. 1.084 OG. Because I am cheap I want to use as much grain as possibly and as little DME as possible. Right now my planned mash is 10lbs of...

    2 Guinness batches that seem to be stuck

    Hi, So nearly two weeks ago (2/2) I brewed two 5 gal batches of Guinness clones back to back. One was a PM and the other one was an extract. They stopped bubbling pretty quickly and that bothered me so I decided to measure the gravity of the PM batch a week ago. I got 1.017. According to...
