I need to get brewing again!

How the hell? My second year cascades haven't even started to produce cones!

I'm definitely gonna try this for my hop garden this year

Time to dig up an old thread! I noticed on your site it hasn't been updated (like you said it would! :p ) - was just curious, how'd the drip system work for you and what would/did you change?

Gotchya, so basically you're making it more "sensitive"

just curious, why the over complication with the stir plate? Here's a picture of mine - simple and works great. It's just a 25ohm pot, pc fan, a rocker switch, and a 12v power supply (washer and hd magnet sit on top of the fan).

If you're using whole leaf hops, I can almost guarantee you'll be fine. Just whirlpool and if it starts getting clogged take ur mash paddle and kinda push away from the filter, no biggie.

You are correct, you lose pressure not volume when the tank gets cold. However, when you lose that pressure you can no longer push the beer out. By leaving the bottle outside where it can remain at room temperature you'll be able to push more beer. It all comes down to molecules. Warm/Hot...

Is the box actually in the keezer? If it is you could try putting in some of those beads that suck the moisture out of the air and see if that reduces moisture in the keezer altogether. Works pretty good in mine.

I used a larger tea ball and it clogged quickly. I use pellet hops with a side pickup...even after whirl-pooling i still pulled too much hop matter into the ball and it cut my flow rate significantly. Ended up popping it off. Now, granted I am using a pump, but its nothing like a a 420gph march...

wow...a lot of awesomeness!

So just a quick update...I'm going to have to scrap this project and start over. I was under the impression that I could fit 2 kegs side by side in my keezer, but as it turns out, i can't (need about an extra 2 inches of space). So with that in mind i'm planning on adding a collar to the...

This may sound like a stupid question...but I'm planning on making a beer for a buddy of mine whom will be deployed to the middle east this summer. I'm planning a special beer that will taste great, even if it isn't at ideal temperature. Basically, since the "delivery process" could take...
