Hey Guys i have a a Beverage-air DD78 beer cooler i am trying to sell to help out some friends who own a restaurant. To be honest the cooler has seen some better days. I have been working on it trying to give it a good deep clean. Here are the negatives: [*]The left Door does not stay shut and requi...

i just picked up a CO2 Kit and was wondering what the optimal CO2 should read. Currently its up in the low 20's im thinking that is a bit too high and needs to be back off.

So for the past 9 months i have been going to RockBottom on Thursday nights for their mug club night where you get a tall micro for a $1. However in the past two months they have changed their menu and all of their beers have gone bland. From talking to the servers at rock bottom, Gordon Birsche bou...

i figure im probably gonna spend an extra hundo every other month and just continually upgrade my system. Ive watched a couple of vidoes of the AG process and feel pretty confident that i have a loose idea of whats going on. Good news i have a buddy who wants to do this with me so my individual cost...

As long as some one can communicate the pros and cons to the systems and techniques, i should be fine. i figure that my first system is gonna be just enough to survive. Pretty much all i need is another stock pot and and insulated holding vessel, from what i can tell. i figure i need to make the jum...

This being the internet and all i know what i am about to ask is a bit dicey. Would anybody be interested in demoing an all grain procedure on your equipment? I have done my fair share of extracts and would like to make the jump into all grain. I would be able to provide all of the ingredients. I ca...

Is there better way to carbonate beer over another when it comes to kegging.

For Instance pressurizing the keg with just CO2 Vs. using corn sugar and letting the beer carbonate naturally inside the keg?

Getting back into the saddle of brewing i have a question and yeast propagation. I picked up some White Labs liquid yeast this week and was informed by the guy at O'Shea's that i could multiply the yeast in to 9 different parents. He gave me a piece a paper with 8 steps and no more than a sentence o...

My boss found out about my habit and wants me to be his personal brewery. The nice thing is he is paying for all costs. He has about 3 5-Gallon standard kegs(not kornie kegs). And after my last batch im about ready to ditch the kornie kegs because they wont sea or carbornate. While working at a race...

so i started kegging beacuse my buddy had a kegartor. How ever he doesn't have one anymore a roommate moved out. i know i can buy a tap to fit straight on the keg, but i was wondering does any body have any ideas on how i could chill easily like a small jockey box or something of the like.

alright good to know guys
thanks
