It will be fine, I've had a few like that one. Just sanitize that lid next to it and replace the one covered in yeast.

I like the combination of Chinook, Northern Brewer and Cascade. Works very nicely for an american brown.

When you add a significant amount of rice hulls to your mash, do you need to take that into account when calculating your water to grist ratio? For example: (5 lbs 2-row, 5 lbs wheat malt, .5 lb rice hulls) would that be 10 or 10.5 lbs plugged into the equation?

This will happen to me when I ferment with WLP029. I started using a blow off tube after my first explosion and now I use it for all of my fermentations, just in case.

What yeast did you pitch for the stout?

You could always dry hop with a different hop or pitch a different yeast to give it you own twist, if you have any lying around. Fruit would be interesting, kind of like Dogfish Head's Aprihop.

One of my absolute favorites: Black Butte Porter from Deschutes Brewery

I love mine, heats 6+ gallons of wort to boiling in about 15 minutes and keeps it rolling with minimal propane. I usually get about 5 brews out of a normal grill propane tank. It'll also fit a keggle if you plan on upgrading.

I wanted to do this with my kegerator so I can put in a flat dry erase board on the door. Was the inside of the door easy to remove? Do you have any pics? Also, does anyone else have a lot of condensation on the fridge ceiling?

Wanted to let everyone know: I went to Lowe's to pick up this fridge, but the Frigidaire model they had was different from the one I had researched here in the forum. The manager told me that this model LFPH44M4LM has replaced the FRC445GB. I decided to go ahead with the build, for the most...

I brewed this last month but I had to make a few changes to the recipe because my LHBS did not have C*80 or British Chocolate. I think it turned out great, Black Butte is by far my favorite porter and I wanted to have it on tap since I can't get it in VA. I wonder how much difference the...

Thanks for the help Cat22, I think that was the problem. I had a double brew day yesterday and it handled 10 gallons easily. I love this burner!
