Found a lost bottle in the fridge from November. It drinks like a Dortmunder Lager. Very good beer.

Just pulled my first pint of this one to "product control test" before bottling for Christmas. Damn! It drinks like a crisp Pilsner. I used Galena and Spalt Select with Notty at 16 degrees Celsius and "lagered" for a month. Will be a house beer in the new keezer. :ban:

I ripped this one out last week. Nice cold Nova Scotia weather meant that temp control was achieved naturally. Smells pretty good. I ALWAYS use Nottingham on light ales and it clears like a boss.

Just sampled my first batch. FG hit 1.015 and it tastes AMAZING heading to the keg. I'm planning to do another batch next week and oak half in the secondary. A new staple for the buckets!

Brewed up 6 Gallons of this on Sunday. I described the first runnings to a fellow beer connoisseur as if "chocolatey coffee made a baby with caramel flavoured vodka"

Just kegged today. Another hit from Ed.

+10 Gallons here for 4475

This is my 7th AG brew and by far my best. It has chilled out to a nice clarity and had a perfect balance of hops to malt. Will be brewing doubles of this when I go to 10 gallons per batch.

I just pulled a pint on day 20 since brew day and it tastes great. It is lacking a bit of that malty esb character, but its tasty.

I brewed this one a couple of weeks back, and S-04 is a BEAST. It ripped through in 2 days. I went to keg after 16 days (poor planning) and when I opened the fermenter I could see nearly all the way through to 3 gallon mark on the bucket. Went to keg over the weekend at 30PSI (24 hours) and am...

Festa Pale dry hopped with Cascade = awesome:mug:

I went ahead with this and it became my first brew in the newly minted kegerator. It is AMAZING! If you've been thinking about Saaz in this Kolsch go for it!

Just for future reference the bottom left hand side above the compressor hump is prime real estate for drilling. Went carefully and drilled through after probing the initial hole and I now have my 15# tank sitting outside = more beer inside:mug:

Now to add a collar and another tap. This is a 3.2 cu ft Danby.

Looking for advice. http://www.danby.com/cms/products/en_manual/DCR34W_BL%28web%29.pdf This website has the specifications for my Mini Fridge (btw a 3.2Cu Ft. WILL fit a corny and 15# C02), but it seems to be telling me that the coolant lines run inside the side walls of the unit. I felt...
