Just created a brew log to keep track of past and future batches. Going back to April 2017 - 110 gallons for me - Up to 10,199

Along with my Corny Keg pouring hack, I have found a good way to clean/rinse the tiny parts for corny kegs (rubber washers, poppets). I always thought it was a little annoying to try to hold the small rubber pieces and poppet parts in my fingers and spray/rinse them of pbw and cleaning...

I haven't had any issues with bubbling. I only suggested clamping towards the start of the line so it gives the beer a chance to re-settle in the line before dispensing. I also let a little bit run at first for a second so the line gets purged of CO2 filled beer. I've only done it a handful...

I discovered a hack that enables you to slowly poor beer from your corny keg/picnic tap at a slower rate to fill growlers/bottles without having to purge the keg to lower your psi from CO2. I came up with this technique after learning about the Perlick 650 that allows you to control the flow...

I use plastic 6 and 6.5 for primary and use 5 gallon glass for secondary and long term aging. Seems to me that this is the best way to go. You go through primaries quicker and you don't move secondaries around as much (carrying from the garage to the basement)

I see beer everywhere...yeast slurry in my frappuccino...

I am looking to rouse my yeast to get a little more activity in my fermentation and was wondering if there is a safe way to do this without worrying about oxidizing the beer? I was thinking a solution would be to use a soda keg co2 charger without an adapter and giving a couple of spurts into...

I had the same idea. An engineer friend of mine put me on to this. Should do the trick if you hook it up to a temp controller. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FQBJLS/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

I'm in, love all these sponsors!

Hello, I have been contemplating a system for Lagering for some time now and have finally landed at a concept in which I think may work. I have read into lagering a little bit, probably should some more but I am asking you guys to maybe give me some feedback. Maybe someone has already created...

One of the big factors in executing the scissoring top was whether you would be able to get the kegs in and out. Ultimately you want enough space to move them around. Considering the 7.2 cuft freezer we have is incredibly snug with four kegs in it gave us a very small window to work with. One...

Here is an update to my original post. The bar is now complete and I am sharing with you a variety of pictures of the build. The light switch controls the LED lights on the bar. I figured it would be easier to have a switch in the dark than having to...

Cool thread! Still have some work to do on mine but you can check out my progress on my thread here - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/coffin-keezer-bar-build-445403/ The top of the bar scissors up so the bar top stays parallel to the ground.

Here are some more pictures of the keezer since we finished the two coats of dark stain. We used Minwax's Dark Walnut stain. We have decided to not put any tile or finishing material as a backsplash. Small beer fridge Our LED Light strip we are going to run underneath...
