not sure what happened but I took a sample as i kegged it and my sample was 1.030 :( i had already added the choc extract to the keg so I just went ahead and connected the gas qd, going to have low abv but the hydro sample tasted pretty good. We had done a starter but I had my ferm chamber set...

I brewed this on saturday 11/5, brewed it to the recipe in the original post on the first page, post boil gravity after adding lactose and cocoa powder was 1.053 Used dutch processed cocoa powder from this local company, expensive stuff, we tried to mix it with some warm milk for hot...

brewed this up yesterday and followed the recipe exactly as we could. I accidentally left the grain in the car which kind of screwed up the mash temp and we had to go back and add more heated water. Smelled awesome in the BK at the end of the boil. OG we measured was around 1.063 We did a...

Nice find on the freezer! Mine doesnt look so great on the outside but the inside was kept perfect, no smell or stains or anything so I was stoked on that and it was only 60$. Good luck with your build!

Thanks for the comments! I cant wait to add more taps, I'll need to ebay some more vintage handles or maybe make some. My dad used to be a sheet metal worker so we'll have to make a drip tray once he gets some time. He made some really sweet bait boxes that attach to the side rails of his...

Cleaned it up a bit. My brewery put my down for a 1 month rental, they'd probably let me keep it longer, i dont see why not. If they want their keg back, I would have to figure out a way to transfer it to keg(s) I purchase.. The reason I got such a larger keezer is because I'd like to brew my...

Thanks to all the information on this forum and Catt22 my dad and I were able to convert a chest freezer to a kegerator/keezer. I got the chest freezer on craigslist for 60$ and then purchased a 20# c02 tank (the guy at the store told me it costs exactly the same to fill up a 5# tank, they...

I have 2 questions to the things you listed: 1. Is it bad if the keg gets too cold? Like 35-33F? 2. How do you purge a commercial keg that has a sankey tap??

Oh ok, must be pretty tiny, i held it up to a light and didnt see one.

Oh ok, so it goes inside where the c02 line connects? How does the c02 get past this plug if there is no hole in it?

Help! I picked up the stuff for my kegerator conversion, the sankey tap and the faucet and whatnot and now I have this rubber thing I dont know where it came from. It has a hole in the bottom but it doesnt go all the way through the center, it just go in a little bit and stops. On the top it...

I worked at a black angus restaurant a while back and both of their walk ins had the plastic curtains. I could stand in the walk in with the door open and not feel any warm air coming in. I'd say anyone with a walkin should have them...

hmm, I was thinking of keeping it on the low 40s, I dont know, I will see what my lhbs has and go from there. I did want the johnson one because its digital and all that. How long will the beer last if i keep it mid to low 40s? I plan to get a 1/4 commercial keg this saturday and will be having...
