    Keg Lube : Northern Brewer KEG LUBE | William's Brewing https://www.midwestsupplies.com/keg-lube.html You could also do a search for "homebrew shop" in your area. If they carry kegging supplies, they better be selling it. You want the stuff in the black tub, not any squeeze bottles or tubes...

    The Provarinati Saloon IV - Back Alley

    You can tell bad rings a few ways. They feel dry. They aren't supple. Under close examination you see hairline cracks. Any of those things can indicate bad rings. If the chimney ring is coming out on the chimney, I'd be suspicious of it. It might not be giving a good seal around the...

    Nah, it's still Train's fault. ;) Those are just the 3 major causes of a leaky tank. I typically blame the wick/coil first, unless it's a brand new build. If I try to run more than 4mL of blueberry muffin on the same wick, it will leak. It's a major gunker. It also needs a low build for...

    I've been getting up between 1-2a for the last few years. The new job is late 2nd shift... might not get out until 1-2a. Trying to get my body adjusted & it's not going well. Staying up past 10 is nearly impossible still.

    I'm still hanging on... barely. Gotta make it at least another 2.5 hours. Not entirely sure that's going to happen.

    My cat knocked one off the desk on to my hardwood floors. I thought I got lucky... at first. Then it developed a really slow leak that kept getting worse. It took so long to develop that I forgot about the act of cat... until I tore it apart. The plastic tank was cracked 1/3 of the way...

    If you're not changing air pressure (going up in elevation drastically - living in the mountains or getting in an airplane) they shouldn't leak. It's either a loss of vacuum (not taking care of your rings/over filling), a gunky coil/wick or a low build. I blame all 3 of those on you. You...

    Check the o-ring inside the cap where the chimney goes in. Check the o-rings between the sections. Make sure your wick isn't too low to the airhole. Make sure your wick doesn't need changed. Make sure your coil isn't gunked up.

    Don't you dare post about Christian the lion. That gets me every damn time. Big kitties got big love to give... if you prove yourself worthy.

    It works when they actually have what the website says they have. :glare: That was what spawned the trip in the first place. I've been looking at them online for about a week now.

    I wasn't deal shopping, really. With the jacked up prices on Amazon & high shipping costs on the reasonably priced ones, I wanted to see what I could get right now locally. Then it was the matter of finding the right one at the right cost. I completely factor in the cost of my time & the cost...

    I've been looking on there. They either charge a ton for shipping, or raise the price & give you free shipping. I paid $180 for this one (asking $280 on Amazon for the same model), plus I've already used it.

    Since when have you cared about the restraining orders against you?

    The button tool to put it back together? That's super handy. I think I have 2 of them. The way around it (which sorta works, kinda) is to put the button itself in with the magnets & use the sleeve to lock it. It'll get you pretty close to centered. It helps if you put the top post in to...

    You and me both. Finally back. Went to 5 places to get a microwave today. Actually only 3 places, but I had to double back. Stopped at the first place, but they didn't have the one I wanted. I was eyeballing a different one, but wanted to see my options. Across the street to place #2...

    I'd love to have a dog... after I get a fence put up. Probably a husky. Both of my cats are rescues, one was a stray & the other one was a different sort of rescue. I've also thought about goats & chickens. I used to have a python & a couple of geckos too.

    I was wondering how effective that toothpick was. I didn't wanna judge. I'll probably send mine in towards the end of the warranty. I've got a couple months left on my Stealth (which also came with something on the inside of the window) & I'll have to check on the polished. My first...

    I could definitely move mine with a toothpick, but once the battery was in the button felt fine & it wouldn't wiggle anymore. Perhaps you need a little stretch in your spring?

    I want to see it fixed too. I'm sure it's just a matter of finding the correct form or method of filing the paperwork with the EU or Greek government (and I'm sure they don't make it simple or clear, just like filing crap with the US gov't). Every reason given so far for charging it is not...
