    Does anyone have an built-in multi-tap kegerator?

    Hey guys- I've had multiple different kegerators/keezers in the past, but am now looking at buying an under-counter, built-in kegerator that can support 4 taps (Preferably one 15g keg and 3 5g kegs). Does anyone have one that they have bought, used, and would recommend?

    Brewtroller vs BCS

    So this is what I'm gathering from this thread so far: Both systems are great. Both have the capability to run more processes than you will ever need. BCS is faster & easier to get from unboxing to brewing. This advantage scales largely depending on your coding knowledge. BT has volume...

    Clear/White slimy strings floating in suspension?

    That sounds right. The interesting thing is it seems to be the worst for the first beer and almost nonpresent in 4th or 5th beer

    Clear/White slimy strings floating in suspension?

    Hey guys - I am going thorough all of my stored homebrew kegs (10+) and I've found that a lot of them have these white, slimy strings floating in them. They look great on the surface and taste no different, but when you look in a poured glass, it's pretty apparent there's some stuff floating in...

    Primary in 23L Carboy

    It's winemaking day and I just realized I only have 23L carboys available (no pails and my larger carboys are being used currently by beer. Wanted to run this by some of you guys: I'm thinking about making the full 6 gallons as instructed and just before adding yeast, pulling out 2-3...

    Specific Winemaking Questions

    This is a new thread based on my advanced winemaking instructions thread. Quick recap: I'm making my first wine kit and am underwhelmed by the basic instructions. I understand that following the instructions will produce a quality product. But I feel comfortable doing more based on my...

    Advanced Instructions for Winemaking Komits?

    Great stuff guys - thanks for the continued replies. Thanks for the thumbs up on Jack Keller's website - it is definitely 90's/GeoCities-Era tough and why I wanted to verify it was quality info before proceeding. I will read through it and keep going with it. DoctorCAD - what I'm...

    Advanced Instructions for Winemaking Komits?

    Ok sweet - well we'll give it a go and hope it turns out well. For our first 2 we have some Cellar Craft Selection kits to see what comes out. My guess is that they turn out as good or better than we expect and we make $100+ wines from here on out. So if I followed the Jack Keller advice...

    Advanced Instructions for Winemaking Komits?

    Hey all - I've been searching the grand internetz for about an hour now and am now turning back to my homebrew roots for an answer. Quick background: I consider myself an advanced homebrewer (all-grain, temp controlled fermentation, filter, competition medalist, etc). To me, a 7 degree flux...

    Taking 2 kegs to a BBQ on Saturday

    Just as a follow up - I let them sit an hour and after about a third of a cup of foamy beer, it was perfect flowing. Both Kegs were killed within an hour and a half. Only complaint was that there wasn't more!

    Taking 2 kegs to a BBQ on Saturday

    Great stuff. I just did a test run - 12 foot lines on both picnic taps to be safe. I'm going to let them rest an hour before I touch them just to be on the safe side. Hook them up, and let'em rip! Got a Vienna Lager & Amber Ale on tap - just jumped the amber and both taste RIDICULOUSLY good...

    Taking 2 kegs to a BBQ on Saturday

    The yeast you have on the bottom of yours will open up a whole new can of worms, I believe.

    Taking 2 kegs to a BBQ on Saturday

    Never transported my beer and tried to serve it the same day. I'll be arriving around 1:30pm and the BBQ officially starts at 3pm. So it'll be able to sit idle for about an hour and a half before serving. One of the kegs is filtered, the other I am planning on jumping tonight to a new keg...
