I was just listening to the Experimental HomeBrew podcast and they were talking about 007. It was the episode where they were interviewing Roger Cornam (episode 4 or so). He was experimenting with it and they mentioned pear like notes.

Hey dangardner2, it's a 1.75gal Corny that is just over 11" high without the ball valves attached. I can't take a height with the ball valves on until after fermentation, as I'm pressurized right now. I will once I transfer into the 5L serving vessel. I think loading up on more of the kegs...

The keg is bubbling away with the spunding valve in tack. The custom thermometer is pretty cool.

I wanted to post and talk about the how cool the Pico is. Mine just arrive today and I put it through it's first brew session. I am really excited about the Pico. My main reason for wanting it was getting access to beer that would otherwise not be distributed to me. The packaging for...

It has been awhile, but I finally got my lighting up. I was thinking that I was going to have to wire in pendant lights, but thought up of an alternative. I was able to find pretty cheap "pendants" at Homedepot. They are standard 110V plug ins that I spliced together. I then plugged the...

I love the Picobrew, jmadway. I wouldn't have time to brew otherwise.

I cleaned up and rearrange the garage quite a bit so the bar had a bit more functional space. It's a lot more open now. Next up, when I have the time, is to finish the mud work and paint the walls. I'm going to add a couple of circuits so I can put in an outlet for the Picobrew and have the...

It has been a while since I have had an opportunity to work on the bar. I was able to take a few days and hammer out the majority of the back bar. It took me a while to figure out exactly what I wanted to do for the shelving and all that, but I finally dived in. 1) I had to add some 2x4s...

Shouldn't have the 'e' in it. Mars/marred or disfigured/blemish.

I put down the first layer of Super glaze last night, and boy is it shinny! When I checked it this morning I was worried it didn't cure out since it still looked like water... I'm planning the second layer this evening as to fill in the rest of the mares of the pallet wood.

I'm already about 25 hours in and I haven't even started the back lower bar counter for brewing... I'm going to be heads down for a while longer :)

11) We had to put up the molding to gauge were to put the cross supports for the counter, we used the 2x4s from the pallets and kept the recess cut for the fork lift as a decretive touch. 12/13) Each of the cross supports were leveled prior to putting the plywood down. 14) We then started...

Hello All, I undertook a serious bar building project that I thought I would share with you all. I spent a ton of time checking forums for ideas for construction and what not that I thought that I needed the reciprocate with a thread of my own. (For some reason the pictures are not...

Hey Baja, I don't mind in the least bit. It seems the PicoBrew has been somewhat controversial on this forum so I thought I would put in my 2-cents since I actually have one. I haven't thought of putting in an inline filter, although it would be simple enough to do. Since I haven't...

Hey Mike, Total breakdown of time is as follows (and these are rough approximation based on frame of mind/sobriety): ~3-5 minutes to prep the system and get the rinse water ready and initiate the rinse ~8 minutes to go through the rinse, I prepare the grain and hops at this time ~5...
