Still like mine and can highly recommend it. I haven’t had any issues with it. Time will tell how long the knurls on the rollers will last, but the geared rollers should alleviate any knurl wearing issues

ScrewyBrewer, what size tubing did you use in that photo? Is it 4mm or 5mm ID?

Inspired by ChrissfromAbby's vintage yeast bank thread, I thought I would dig into my, shall we say, "mature" cache. My setup is pretty simple. The yeast/glycerin slurry is frozen in PET vials that are kept in a small styrofoam cooler filled with ice packs that is tucked away at the bottom of...

After my previous mill decided it no longer wanted to play nice, I recently upgraded to a Crankanstaein 3GT. Compared to my old mill that claimed to "crush barley", this thing is built like a tank. I am positively impressed with the build quality. It is very heavy, and I love having all of...

Great. You've got me thinking about cleaning my grout. Trying decide between this brush and the Grout Demon. How is your brush holding up? Would you recommend it?

I'm trying to get my hands on the Wyeast 2247-PC European Lager strain, but it doesn't appear that they've released it in recent years. If anyone has this in their yeast bank and is willing to part with some, please send me PM.

Your simplification objective is relatable. I've revisited the fermentor choices over the years as new products came along, but have continued to ferment and serve in 5 gallon corny kegs for more than a decade. How do they stack up to your objectives? Light enough to fill right from my...

Congratulations. Best of luck to you in your endeavor.

I like what you did for the shelving on the freezer side. Did you use any adhesive on the angle iron before you fastened it to the walls with screws?

Thank you for taking the time to reply in detail. What are you using for shelving on the freezer side? From one of the pictures above, it looks like you might be using the stock shelf. Does it support two filled corny kegs?

Nice work. How difficult was it to cut out the ice dispenser assembly? Any tips on the expanding foam? I have a set up similar to this and currently only have two corny kegs on the freezer dispensing side. I think I could get four corny kegs in there if I could trim the door molding and...

Brewed this back at the end of May. I mashed a bit lower at 152F and exchanged the Nugget for more Centennial and replaced the Glacier with Citra. Tasted a sample at 30 days and was disappointed with the fact that the aroma was dominated by alcohol. Left it in the kegerator on gas for another...

Count me in.
