Selling my converted fridge kegerator. 3 taps on the door, manifold inside and comes with two 5# tanks and 1 regulator. Freezer above fridge works great. Located in North West Indiana. $450 OBO. Chicago Bears paint job on fridge. email: [email protected] text: 219-712-6018

I agree with the adding a fitting. Those threads might not be a nominal size. Some companies make threads odd number of threads per inch on purpose. You should be able to go to hardware store and get a thread pitch gauge. Otherwise google it and buy one online.

No harm in fermenting in a larger vessel. The only thing I would do is purge your secondary with CO2, so there is no oxygen able to possibly oxidize the beer. I've always purged my secondaries with CO2 prior to racking.

Shallow Grave RIS.

I was selling a lawn mower over the summer and an on duty cop stopped to look. I also had a boil going at the entrance to my garage. After talking about the mower, he noticed my keggle. "what are you doing?" "brewing beer" "is that legal?" "you tell me, you're the cop" The look on his face was...

Very cool! Might be dumb question, but your vinyl hose just sits in a corny with no lid on it? How long does the beer hold up sitting open to oxygen like that? Normal 3 days for a cask?

What's the current gravity?

My guess...bad yeast. Take a gravity reading. What was your OG? If it hasn't really moved at all, I'd repitch.

So the cinnamon syrup will never mix? Then what's the point of putting it in?

I just kegged this. Stirred and shook like mad. Went to take a sample....ALL syrup. Will it mix with time? Shake it everyday? Anyone have any advice?

Print your labels on regular paper. Brush milk onto back of label and stick to bottle. It doesn't stink, sticks like glue, and comes off with hot water. I didn't believe it, but it worked!

Might be a dumb question, but when do you add the brown sugar and bakers chocolate? Secondary? End of boil?

Looks like beer!

Is this even math? Lol. Honestly, I read 1/3 of it before skipping to end. Over the course of this past week, I've read it all. I will be ordering the 20L in the next few days. Thanks for the very precise answer though!

Your able to get 84% eff. with no sparge? Damn...I might be getting one sooner than later. One last question. If you were to do an IPA, how do you personally make up the OG gravity difference? Just some DME in boiled water? Reviewing my past 12 recipes, I've only had 2 beers break the .065 mark...
