If your kegs are no longer holding pressure and leak out the top of the ball/pin lock post, it is usually due to a worn spring or o-ring. No need to replace the entire post, just replace with these universal poppets! These are universal meaning they will work on both ball lock or pin lock...

Hi All- I am in the works of building a new brew system/stand. I am going the low pressure route with Honeywell VR8200's for BK, MT & HLT. I am planning on having a common low pressure header and then splitting off for the 3 burners w/ individual isolation valves, VR8200's, flex hose and...

Has anyone heard of boadicea hops or better yet used them? I just stumbled upon 8oz of them and want to try them out. The guy that gave them to me said they are somewhat unpopular due to an oniony aroma... If nothing else Ill use them for bittering. 7.3AA.

Hey ya'll... Finally got back to some label designing... comments, suggestions, feedback welcome... Here is my Boston Molasses Disaster label, n russian imperial stout I brewed with molasses. Quite tasty... cheers

Hey everyone! I have decided to start trying to reuse my yeast. I transferred a cali common today and hadn't read anything about reusing yeast yet so I simply sanitized a mason jar and poured some of the remaining slurry into the jar... Now that I have been well acquainted with the method of...

So my efficiencies have consistently been too high with my current mash/sparge methods... My setup is the usual two, 5 gallon rubbermaid coolers, false bottom, and simple sparge spray nozzle. Mash temps vary, however a mash-out of ~168 is always maintained. I use the fly-sparge technique...

Whats the general consensus... Could use of irish moss have any effect on how well my beer naturally carbonates... Does irish moss drop yeast out or just proteins? I have a Bohemian Pilsner carbing right now and it is clear as can be!!! But it seems there is quite a lot of "stuff" sitting at...

Hey everyone! I plan on brewing a czech style pilsner tomorrow which will be my first lager... I have the fridge all set up and ready to go with a temp control unit. I also figure that this is an appropriate batch to take water quality into effect for the first time. I just got a local quality...

Hey everyone... Sorry to annoy you with another thread about high efficiencies.. But I am in the process of brewing an amber ale and I find this quite puzzling... I just finished my fly sparge (my setup consists of two, 5 gallon Rubbermaid coolers) and I emptied 7 gallons into the kettle... I...

I have never been able to fully understand when a batch is in the most danger of tannin extraction from to much stirring of the mash. Basically, when should I stop stirring the mash? It is obviously acceptable to stir the mash during "mash in" because... well its mash IN! I also have seen people...

Hello all. I'm relatively new to all grain brewing and have not quite mastered the efficiency calculations yet. I did find some calculators and such for this but I wanted to do it by hand as well. Here is what I did (please correct me if I'm wrong): Recipe: 12 lbs Maris Otter Pale 0.5 lbs...

Extra Special Bitter 8-C Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale) Size: 5.5 gal Efficiency: 77.49% Attenuation: 75.0% Calories: 186.49 per 12.0 fl oz Original Gravity: 1.056 (1.048 - 1.060) |==================#=============| Terminal Gravity: 1.014 (1.010 - 1.016)...

So after doing advanced searches of past forums, I still find myself somewhat confused regarding mashing out and sparging. I have just started to do all grain and thus far have not done any mash out what so ever. Yesterday, I brewed an ESB in which I mashed at 152deg and held for an hour. I...

Hello. After a couple years of stove top brewing dealing with the terrors of boil-overs, I have decided to bump up to a propane burner that I can either use in my garage or outdoors. (If the garage door is open will the ventilation be sufficient?) I have been looking around and found some that I...

anyone know if it is at all possible to fit a standard 15.5 keg in a sanyo 4912 fridge... I tried to do it and it just barely didnt fit do to the shelf type thing in the bottom back of the fridge. Can u mod this at all so it does fit? anyone know?

:mad: :mad: The title says it all:mad: :mad: ... I think its up to the last 5 batches that have all gone bad. I started brewing about a year ago. My first 5-7 batches were amazing!!! My first 2 were actually the best. But now, I have seemed to come to a dead end and am about ready to jump out my...

So, I have been cracking open my first batch and am very happy with the results! It has turned out to be a delicious Pale Ale. I was so surprised at how much it cleared up in the bottles and really turned into a great brew. It has a very nice head and tastes absolutley amazing! anyways, about...

I'm looking at getting a Sanyo mini fridge and converting to kegerator. I have found one on craigslist that looks pretty good to me. The person who is selling it, upon request, told me it was the Sanyo SR-4433S model. However, this is not true since it does not have a freezer compartment in it...

So I just finished the revised edition of the label i came up with a little while back. Heres the first one; https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=34941 anyways, I'm open to comments and suggestions for the new design. I think that the hops could be a little less dark like the rest of...

I have just started into the world of kegging my beer! However, I still feel that I would like to continue to bottle considering much of my home brew is given out as gifts, or transported to friends houses to drink, etc. I have been looking at some of the various ways of bottling from the keg...
