    Graham's English Cider

    Mine turned out like a sweet champagne, or a very dry cider. If you like it, duplicate it...if not, start your modifications and let us know what you did and what others say :rockin:

    Graham's English Cider

    I'd think either would work since many of the juices I've seen at the store are from concentrate already. The only thing I'd check is the added sugar in the can of concentrate and sweetness before starting. I think Graham's Cider is suppose to be dry not your typical sweet US cider we normally...

    Graham's English Cider

    Interesting idea for a one stop bottle for everything, but, I wouldn't do that. You're going to have lots of sediment, yeast, etc in the bottom and that's going to make it even harder to clean after aging the cider for 5-6 mo. I'd suggest you ferment in something you can clean and sanitize...

    Graham's English Cider

    First, Freezeblade, thanks for the recipe! A quick question for those that have made the recipe. But, first some background. for what I did for my batch. Batch was started in July 2015 and just started drinking it over Thanksgiving and the Christmas break. It was made with the Whole Foods...

    My take on a portable kegerator

    Update - I added LED lights to the coffin. It's got a small remote control to turn it off/on, change colors, slow down or speed up the different effects and to auto rotate the colors.

    Armoire Keezer Build

    Cool, thanks for the info. I hadn't thought about cutting down some rope lights. The coffin for my taps is not as wide as yours (mine's 15" for 4 taps) and I've been looking at this site and the waterproof LEDs...

    Armoire Keezer Build

    Very nice build and if I didn't know, I'd never suspect it was a keezer. You might want to consider a folding leg to hold up the lid if you haven't found a way to make the gas shocks work. Something like this, maybe? http://www.rockler.com/posi-lock-folding-leg-bracket For the electrical...

    Tap coolers

    Looks interesting. What are you pumping through the copper? Cold water or glycol?

    My take on a portable kegerator

    Whoa! I somehow missed your setup. NICE and simple!!! I'll have to see how my setup works and maybe plan for v2.0 based on this. Thanks for sharing. I did see a few keezer coffin tower builds that also have an rotating LED set of lights below the taps (hence why I've left a 1/4" offset...

    My take on a portable kegerator

    With full kegs in the trashcan I think it's about 150 lbs, so I've just bungie the wood top to the trashcan handles. It rocks only a slight bit, but not enough for anyone to knock it over. When the kegs start getting dry and you've got people stumbling around in the dark...that's a...

    My take on a portable kegerator

    Ok so I thought I'd give back. I easily spend 8-10 hrs just reading posts of lots of talented people here that have way better wood working skills than me. Plus I'm limited in the tool department due to space and $. I've only got a circular saw, jig saw, nail gun and router. But, many of...

    I'm going to San Diego for a difference conference and will be stopping in at Stone and maybe one other microbrewery. Maybe Lost Abbey or Port. There's too many to choose from!
