Cool. Will you be selling any more KG801NP Converted Ball Lock Kegs soon? I like the lower profile.

I keep seeing a link for FREE SHIPPING FOR MARCH! - Kegconnection.com at the top of the page but when I click it, it takes me to an error page. The link is: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f41/free-shipping-march-kegconnection-com-310428/

Would be fun Alvin, not much in the way of hamfests around here. Do you have access to any radio gear there?

Hi Alvin- I suspect that inmates have brewed perfectly acceptable cell block hooch in similar environmental conditions so I suspect that you could do so as well. What kind of yeast are you using, plain old bread yeast? Take a look at...

Don't know about others, but I use the Indian Summer brand. I've also got some frozen concentrate from Aldi's that I plan to use in the near future.

Yes, it's a slow starter, wait at least 48 hours. I'd be willing to bet that when you wake up tomorrow morning your yeasties will be bubbling right along.

Why scale back on the yeast? Are you going to save the unused portion for something?

Huh? What? How about any number of vendors via the internet like oh I don't know, kegconnection.com or http://kegcowboy.com/ or http://www.monsterbrew.com or...well you get the idea.

Google is your friend. http://www.fermentis.com/fo/pdf/RedStar/English/FTMontrachetEN.pdf Lavlin EC-1118, http://www.lalvinyeast.com/images/library/EC1118_Yeast.pdf Brown sugar? Why not?

They have saved my bacon on many occasions. I've lost count of how many times we've had something break in the shop and had a replacement part by noon the next day.

Congrats old man!

And the seasonal pilsner just hit the 'fermentation vault' downstairs. Sadly, my other Mr Beer fermenter with my attempt at ginger beer doesn't look like it's doing too much at the moment. I may have a dud on my hands. If so, back to the drawing board.

Might be a moot point. I pulled the keg out of the mini-fridge under the bar and have been messing around with the temperature control and so far it's holding at 52 degrees +/- 1 degree. If it stays in that range until noon, I'm going to be mixing up that pilsner and commencing to ferment.

It holds pretty stable down there between 65 and 70. I've been giving thought to using the large Coleman cooler and just swapping out an ice pack twice a day. I need to set up the remote thermometer and run a test for a few days to see how stable I can keep it.

Picked up the seasonal pilsner from Mr.Beer. Thinking about replacing the Saflager W-34/70 with some Muntons ale yeast. I'm interested in any thoughts anyone might have on this, pros, cons, whatnot's. It's easier for me to maintain a fermentation temp of 57°-77° F for the ale yeast until I...
