ABOUT ME

Real Name: Tim B
Home Brewing Biography: Started with a friend in College and have slowly found myself with more and more equipment, in my small apartment now I am running:

5 gal brew pot on the electric stove

3 Carboys (6.5, 6, 5) and 2 Corny Kegs.

I have been working on modifying a really small Sanyo fridge that has been gifted through generations of college kids but somehow keeps kicking. I pulled the freezer plate down and replaced the thermo with a ranco controller. I picked up a cheapish regulator kit and recently put a perlick creamer forward seal in the door.

If i pull the CO2 outside and get really creative maybe I can fit a second keg in there hmmmmm

I had a keg recently that i swore I'd never get the liquid post off, after looking at it a
little closer the rubber was part way up the bolt. I tried everything and almost bought a
socket set. I trimm...

I went with a Ranco ETC-111000 after reading around, you can usually get them for ~$60 shipped,
then what ever value you place on an old extension cord you'll need to cut to hook it up. Just
google (o...

The real answer is maybe. I am assuming this is a (Freezer) cold plate with a door in front of
it like mine is. I doubted the ability to make it work for years before going through with it,
it fits 1 ...
Posted in thread: Add fruit to primary or rack beer on top of fruit in secondary on 04-14-2011 at 04:37 PM
Just tapped my second go this morning. I usually only sample when racking so sorry it took so
long to update. Raspberry is a little stronger than the first and not as malty but not super
sweet by any ...

glass of ice water should read 32, I would trust it more than boiling

asked my LHBS ...
