I bought it from Home Depot. Haven't figured out how to post a link from my phone, but if you search their site for "RL Flo-Master 4 pt. Hand Sprayer" you should be able to locate it. $6.98 Maybe this link will work http://m.homedepot.com/p/RL-Flo-Master-4-pt-Hand-Sprayer-56HD/100164531/...

If at all possible, run clean water through the coils immediately after dispensing beer. Today, I use "Mark's Keg and Carboy Washer" pump that I connect to the "liquid in" shank on the back of the jockey box. I put the pump in a 1.5 gallon bucket with a 1 gallon mix of hot water and PBW. I...

I've built two of these using the STC-1000 controller for both. For heating I decided to go with a reptile heat mat. You can get them at most pet stores as well as amazon. This works great because they are thin and also have adhesive on one side. I just stuck mine to the inside of the door...

I'm assuming your carboy has dried and you are not just looking at condensation. I had a similar experience when I let some water/straight A cleaner soak overnight. It looked exactly like the haze my dishes were accumulating after running thru the dishwasher. I did some research and found...

Yummy!!!! Too much worrying for nothing. Kegged it up, carbed @ 25PSI for 3 days at 38*F....Backed it down to serving pressure and waited a few more days. Poured a glass...mmmm. Took a liter to a club meeting.....one of the most popular that day. Best explanation someone...

This is the place to find everything you ever wanted to know about making your own....but 45 min to chill a partial boil...not too bad. I screwed up my first by dumping 2-3 gallons of 200F wort into 55F water and ended up with 5 gallons of really hot wort that took forever to cool. Lesson...

I made an IPA...added approx. 3 oz of apricot extract to the keg and transferred on top of it. Force carbed it and a few days later, tasted pretty good, but still "green". A month later, bottled a few and took over to my LHBS, got a couple of compliments on it...one even said it seemed very...

I need to meet your friends. Just the two carboys are worth close to $80

Hey Alan...welcome from Mount Joy. I assume you are extract brewing. Check out Boscovs, they run sales quite regularly on their stainless stock pots. A friend of mine just picked up a 16 or 20 Qt pot for under $30. They aren't heavy duty, but they work just fine and they are cheap. I...

So on Monday night (1 week later), any sign of possible fermentation was gone. The "bubbler" in the airlock was no longer floating on a pocket of CO2 and was resting on the vent tube. I figured, it's done. So I moved it back into a 68-70F room for the diacetyl rest. 24 hours later, it's...

dcp27....I waited to move to 55F for a couple of reasons: 1 - my LHBS "easy lager" instructions said to do it this way 2 - I assumed that following these instructions were a means get the yeast going quickly then move them to their natural environment. I haven't spent a a lot of time learning...

Thanks Dave1550...I did have active fermentation less than 24 hours after I pitched the yeast (while at room temp). Activity stopped after I moved the fermenter to my 55*F closet. Right now my only gauge is looking at the airlock - since I'm in a plastic bucket - so I'm a little optimistic...

Cool find, I was actually thinking about building one of these: http://***********/stories/projects-and-equipment/article/indices/20-build-it-yourself/402-build-your-own-water-filter-projects Looks like the RV filter is rated at 2000 gallons for $20, I pay $0.89 / gallon of spring...

Hello to all my fellow homebrewers! Name is Scott and I've been lurking around these pages for the past few months gathering tips and advice along the way. I currently live in Lancaster County, PA. I started extract brewing around 15 years ago. Got a little sidetracked along the way and...
