Please, only use these propane cookers outdoors. They are never safe for indoor use. Propane is dangerous indoors. No amount of venting will make these units safe for indoor use.
Carboys and Carboy AccessoriesAs you will see, glass carboys have increased in price dramatically. The only manufacturer of glass carboys in North America has stopped making them, so now they will have to come from Italy.
We strongly recommend using plastic carboys in place of the glass carboys. You will find them to be more durable than glass and much less expensive. You will not experience off-flavors from plastic carboys. Some old brewing books advise against using plastic, and when these books were written they might have been accurate, but now we have food grade plastics available that do not impart any flavors at all.
Please note: UPS does not insure Glass Carboys against breakage. In most cases, we will not ship glass carboys to addresses more than 50 miles away from us.
Brew Hauler, Wrap around nylon straps with a handle for moving or lifting your full carboys. If you use a carboy[s] you need one of these. They fit snug around the middle of the carboy, you lift the weight of the carboy without danger of breaking off the neck. Fits both 5 and 6 gallon size $13.95.
The best tap available. Made in Germany. Uses carbon dioxide cartridges to dispense your homebrew from 1.25 gallon kegs. Keeps your homebrew fresh for up to two weeks after tapping. Using mini kegs means less time spent bottling, no bottles to clean afterward, and kegs take up less room in the fridge. Five gallons of homebrew fill four mini kegs perfectly.
Replacement kegs are $8.99. Extra CO2 cartridges are $20.00 per box of 10.
Some notes about mini kegging:
The party star tap is a terrific gadget made with durability in mind. It should last many years. The mini kegs are refillable at least 6 or 7 times. Some brewers get a dozen or more fills from each one. Prime your beer for mini kegs with about 60% of the priming sugar you would use for bottling. You can fill some bottles and one or two mini kegs from the same batch of homebrew. Mini kegs are popular because they fit in the fridge!
Mini kegs travel well. Wrap some bubble wrap around a chilled keg. Over wrap with a hand towel. Go to your friend's house, tap your brew. Become a legend.
