  I've been brewing with extract for the past two years and I think I'm ready to move to all
  grain. Most of my buddies have moved on so I'm looking for additional suggestions to acquire

• Posted in thread: Help needed for Keezer - and my 16 month old son... on 11-23-2011 at 03:34 PM
  Long story short, I built a budget-build 20 cu ft Keezer using an old Admiral chest freezer
  from craigslist. Repainted it white, did a simple 2x6 collar, and threw a couple of cheap
  harbor freight fur...

• Posted in thread: Is DIY kegerator/keezer more cost effective or just fun? on 11-16-2011 at 05:39 PM
  I originally rebuilt my kegerator with a new Perlick faucet, regulator, new hoses and fittings
  only reusing the fridge/tower/CO2 tank from the old setup....then I came across a 20 cu ft
  freezer for $4...

• Posted in thread: Question regarding grain steeping on 11-04-2011 at 02:41 PM
  Thanks to both of you.That's what I thought, but yesterday I had a conversation with another

• Posted in thread: Beer not carbonating in keg? on 10-07-2011 at 05:31 PM
  For the first two brews, CO2 was connected from initial kegging until keg blew. Both were
  undercarbed, but I didn't force carbonate (shake) either one and both were initially set to
  about 20 psi, not ...

  The Keezer has a Johnson controller set to 36* with 4* of differential keeping the temps
  between 34-38. The readout is typically between 37-39* depending how often the door is open.
  The temperature se...

  I could definitely hear the gas going into the keg....as I was shaking, I'd periodically
  position the keg so I could hear the bubbles of the CO2 going through the beer at the
  connection.Well, maybe I'...

  Kegs are in the fridge.Dual Guage Regulator appears to be in good working shape. It's only 4
  month old (was brand new before first homebrew). And while this test is very in accurate,
  releasing pressur...

  clone extract. Primary fermentation lasted only 12 days. Racked to keg, 20 psi for 3 days, then
  ~8 psi for a...
