Empty, no regulator. Up to 6 available. Located in Oakland, CA $50 each.

Despite giving my 4 winpak 6-gallon no-chill containers a good soak in hot water & pbw every time I use them, after 3 years and 40 batches the insides are pretty tannin-stained. Has anyone had any success deep-cleaning these? Any issues with bleach and HDPE? I also considered just replacing...

Every year I do a 4-tap beer-tasting fundraiser for my daughter's school. Many of the same folks show up year after year, so I like to mix it up a bit so there's something new each time. I also give a short presentation about beer and brewing after the tasting while people are quaffing their...

As anyone who supported the GrowlerWerks uKeg kickstarter knows, delivery of the rewards has been painfully slow. After 2+ years only 50% of the 10,000 rewards have been distributed, even while the uKegs themselves are widely available through retail outlets. The monthly email updates are...

Having moved my keezer more often than is good for either of us, I'm thinking a jockey box is in order for the 2-3 times a year I want to run 4+ taps at an event. I've done some reading and costing and now I'm soliciting the general wisdom of brewkind: buy, build or rent? coil or cold-plate...

I just brewed a three of my regular BIAB batches, using a freshly-calibrated pH meter and allowing the samples to cool before measuring. Normally I unwrap the mash after 30 minutes and take the pH, gravity and temperature, and invariably the pH is within 0.1 of the Bru'n water calculations...

Despite a two-step 3L WLP007 starter, after a comedy of post-pitching errors my RIS is stuck at 1.034 and 8.5% ABV. I'm confident there are plenty of fermentable sugars left, but I've already cold-crashed and transferred to secondary (part of the CoE) so I want to repitch to knock the remaining...

I've been brewing for a number of events (fundraisers, parties) and a persistent question is what to serve. For a single-keg tailgate, it'll always be a pale ale or IPA. For the last 2-tap event I did, we ran a hoppy pale and a dry stout, though since it was a dinner event we switched to a...

In an attempt to reduce my water use (California being in serious drought conditions) I've tried replacing my immersion chiller and its 25G of cooling water per 10G batch*, with no-chill. While the process has been very easy, I am finding that everything comes out with the characteristic...

Standard 15.5 gallon keggle with 3 welded couplers supporting - a 3-part ball valve - a heat-shielded thermometer - a sight tube all from BrewHardware. The ball-valve coupler is threaded on the inside (female NPT) to accept a dip-tube, hop-screen, or whatever. Also comes with a lid. Used...

Almost-new dual body, triple gauge Chudnow regulator in perfect working condition. Purchased from keg connection only a month ago, I've now realized I want a quad body system so this is surplus to my requirements. I'm in Oakland, CA.

Hi all, I've just experienced my first bottle bomb in my second batch of beer, and I'm trying to diagnose the cause and plan any next steps. It is a 5.5 gallon batch of a Drake's 1500 pale ale clone. The original and final gravities were spot on (1.054 & 1.012). It sat for 3 weeks in the...
