We had played around with homebrewing a few years ago but put it on hold for a while. Once we received the BEST wedding gift ever, a Blichman 14.5 gallon fermenator, it was game on! We purchased and converted an upright freezer, rigged it with a Ranco (super easy) and built a bar in our spare bedroom downstairs to keep the homebrew on tap. Love this website, lots of great people and helpful ideas.
