I'm in. Thanks for the contest!

Those are jnorris's labels. I designed both of them although the first dog was provided to me by him and I changed it around quite a bit. I think he ripped it off google images. EDIT...i guess it pulled it off that free label generator. Ultimately he wanted something different and thats where...

Hey Kulprit I tried PMing you today but your box is full. If you have a chance, empty it so I can send you a message. Cheers, Bill

Yes I did...and thanks!

Steve, Those look sharp!! They look better than I thought they would. Ive heard that milk works real well. I hardly label bottles but when I do, I use 3M spray mount. Its basically spray on rubber cement. Just spray the back of the label and stick on. Not sure how easy they are to pull off as...

Excellent! Im working on the couple of little files you needed for your other cafepress stuff. Should be done by end of day today...just fitting time in here and there. Bill

Thanks for the props! That means alot coming from you Brewtopia. I made a Photoshop file for the labels so SilkkyBrew can edit everything from the beer name and description to the background color. That way he can customize it the way he wants...and quickly. Of course I cant do this for...

Glad you like it! Cheers, Bill

Just dont break the line and then you can use the guts. You will have to be careful but it can be done. Basically you are going to have to cut the top off the fridge so you can slide the freezer plate out with the coils and the compressor. Someone on this board made a fermentation cooler with...

I wonder how hard it would be to clean out or replace those lines. Seems like it would be a royal PITA

Uncovered for me (using an immersion chiller). The cooling process is a lot faster when you can stir.

I made a batch of Ed Worts Apfelwein with Cotes des Blanc. It is definitely slow going. Took around 6 week til it finished and I think i even let it sit for another week or two on the lees. I didnt notice any stinky smell (something that is associated with the yeast Ed uses, Montrachet) Did you...

A fellow HBTer, jnorris, commissioned me for a logo and label and thought I would post some pics of the semi-final version. Here is the logo Here is a label example Cant wait to see these on bottles Jon! I might have to tweek the length/width ration so let me know if it doesnt work. Make...

I think its called Spirit of 76. Its an antique shop/ winemaking and beer shop. I think it is located near adamstown. His prices are not the greatest but he is a good guy and always wants to help out. He didnt want the keg and thought I would have no use for it so I got it cheap.

Orfy, Dually noted...I was already thinking of building a cask system and was researching the breather. Im an English Ale fan myself so this is right up my alley. Question though...seems a cask or a pin have the hole down low (because it lays on its side). This keg is dead center. What would...
