    Adding a draft tower to a mini fridge question

    @dillypo, both links are great. Thanks for sending those over. My plan is to start to drill a hole (1") and not go all the way through. Just enough to take the casing off and dig out the insulation. I also like the idea of using the brass piping to help keep the tower lines cold

    Adding a draft tower to a mini fridge question

    I was looking through that link at the kegarator build and saw he put a fan at the bottom of the fridge and a tube up to the tower. The guy did this to ensure cold air was getting all the way up the tower. Has anyone else done this? Is it worth the effort?

    Adding a draft tower to a mini fridge question

    Awesome, thank you.. I tried this (just using rubbing alcohol instead of vodka). however, it didnt seem to work, I think its because I cant take the shell off the fridge. Although I didnt watch it dry because I didn't know I had to watch it dry, I thought the past would separate.

    Adding a draft tower to a mini fridge question

    I tried to take the top off the fridge, but it looks like it is a uni-body and it doesn't looking easy to take the shell off.

    Adding a draft tower to a mini fridge question

    How did you cover the holes you created? I would be concerned about losing the cool air. I noticed on the back of the fridge, I have this diagram. I am thinking it is a diagram of the compressor line. Can anyone confirm this? If so, it looks like the lines are along the sides and the front...

    Adding a draft tower to a mini fridge question

    Hi All, I am in the process of adding a draft tower to my mini fridge. The Fridge I have is a GE wmr04bapbbb. I am nervous when it comes to drilling a hole into the top of the fridge and hitting a line. I have looked only for diagrams but haven't had much luck. Anyone have have any...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Coconut Porter 1st Place in 2nd Round 2011 HBT Comp

    I ended up making this today. I used 14oz of coconut and added it to the primary rather than the secondary. I did, however, add the all the hops @ 5mins... oops. I think it will be fine though. I will keep all posted

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Coconut Porter 1st Place in 2nd Round 2011 HBT Comp

    Has anyone tried this with a extract? I was thinking about using an extract to control the flavor, absorption, and head retention. Any thoughts?

    Iodophor Staining

    Hello All, I have a quick question. I was soaking some of my equipment in iodophor in my fermenting bucket. When I emptied the bucket, it was stained. I currently have the bucket soaking in Bleach and water. I don't think the stain is going to go away completely. Do I have to worry about the...

    Fruit Beer watermelon wheat

    Yes! It looked just like a cup of coffee with too much cream... Ive racked to secondary and added the watermelon juice. I don't have a way to cold crash it. Here is hoping the yeast drops on its own

    Fruit Beer watermelon wheat

    I wither used American wheat or American hefe. I can't remember. I racked to secondary yesterday. I plan to let it stay there for two weeks

    Fruit Beer watermelon wheat

    Its been two weeks since brew day. I pulled some off my fermenter and this stuff is pretty cloudy. It almost looks like coffee. Any one else have this same issue? I'm racking to secondary tonight, in the hopes that it will help clear it up

    Fruit Beer watermelon wheat

    I was thinking about adding the Jolly Ranchers during secondary. My thoughts are, rack the beer on the watermelon juice for a week or two and then add Jolly Ranchers (after the watermelon color has faded from the beer) to the secondary and let it sit for another week or two. Then Keg it. Any...

    Which way to bend a freezer tray

    You broke a coil or the main line? Luckily, mine is getting cold. But I wasn't sure if maybe I had a slow leak.
