    Brew stand build/BG-14 burner questions

    I'm building (welding) a three tier gravity fed brew stand using some scrap steel, a new BG14 burner and my existing BG10 burner. My plan is to replace the BG10 burner at some point down the road with a BG14, but I'm using it for now. Both burners will run on Propane. I have questions about...

    I need help choosing more flexible beer lines.

    A couple years ago I made a kegerator out of a smallish apartment sized upright refrigerator. I was able to fit two 5 gallon and one 2.5 gallon kegs into it. I installed the three faucets through the door and used 3/16" Accuflex Bev-Seal Ultra tubing for my beer lines. The Accuflex Bev-Seal...

    Still missing Brewtoad :(

    I know its been taken down a while now, but I still miss it. Yes, there are other interesting recipe sites, but I have not found one that totally replaces it. With Brewtoad I could list the ingredients that I had on hand and it would suggest different recipes that used them. Does anyone know...

    DIY Brew Stand questions

    I'm planning to build my long awaited brew stand. I've decided to build a three tier gravity fed out of steel and I'm not sure what type of steel to use that I should use. I'm torn between using old bed frames and scrap angle iron or possibly making it out of square tubing steel. If I use...

    CO2 Tubing?

    I'm currently using braided hose for the CO2 lines in my kegerator, but they are just too stiff when cold. Unfortunately it is the only type the my LHBS has, so I have to order on-line. I'd like something more flexible, can anyone make a suggestion? Thanks!

    Brew Stand build questions

    Has anyone used the CONCORD 10" Banjo Burner Head? It looks like the BG14, but its a tad cheaper. Rather that mount it from the tabs on the side, this one has screw hole under neath. Other than that, it seems the same. I'm planning to build a gravity fed, 3 tier brew stand. I'd be using...

    Questions about Pumpkin ale

    I've never brewed a pumpkin ale, but the wife loves it so I've decided to give it a go. I found a recipe that uses canned pumpkins(I know why use canned when pumpkins are in season), that had good reviews, but no real instructions The recipe says to spread the canned pumpkin out (4 cans...

    Accuflex Bev-Seal Ultra beer line is just too stiff!!

    I just built a 3 tap kegerator using a smallish upright Whirlpool refrigerator, the faucets are mounted on/thru the door and think that I used the wrong tubing. I used (15 ft per tap) 3/16" Accuflex Bev-Seal Ultra beer line and I think that is it is just too stiff for my application. This...

    Help!! Foam, foam and more foam!!

    I just built a 3 tap kegerator and I can't seem to get a good pour out of it. No matter what I try all I get is glasses of 80% foam. My kegerator is made from a smallish upright Whirlpool refrigerator. It fits 3 Corny Kegs with the CO2 tank inside. It has 3 stainless steel Flow Control...

    Faucets...flow control or auto shut off???

    I'm building a 3 tap kegerator out of an old frig and I'm looking for your opinions of beer faucets. Costs aside....which do you prefer, flow control faucets or auto shut off and why? Apparently I can't have both. Thanks

    Are DIY Beer Line Cleaners Safe????

    I'm just building my kegerator and that started me thinking about how I'd clean the lines. Currently I use corny kegs with short line attached to party tap. I take it all apart and clean that every time I change the keg. Now I've seen lot of posts from about using a cheap home depot sprayer...

    Tubing advice is needed!

    I need a little tubing advice for my new Kegerator build. My old system is just 2 kegs in a small frig, using party taps. My new kegerator frig can handle 4 keg (2 5-gal and 2 3-gal). First I can't decide on what type of beer tubing to buy. I've decided that I'd like to use a PVC free type...

    Curved Door kegerator Build Issue

    I'm building a kegerator with a smallish upright whirlpool (freezer on top) refrigerator and I don't know how to handle the curved doors. I plan up putting 3 beer faucets thru the door and if possible I'd like to install a drip tray of sorts. Unfortunately all of the drip trays are square...

    Kegerator build questions.

    I just got my hands on fairly new 9.6 cu. ft.Whirlpool Top Freezer Refrigerator (Model ET0MSRXTQ) for absolutely nothing! It's what they call and apartment sized refrigerator, so its not too big, but I figured out that it could hold two 5-gallon and tow 2.5-gallon kegs in it (if I put the co2...

    Has anyone turned a 9.6 cu. ft.Whirlpool Top Freezer Refrigerator Model ET0MSRXTQ into a kegerator? I have an opportunity to get one for next to nothing. How many corny kegs will it fit?

    Need Hel with Gravity Brew Stand Design

    I'm planning to build a gravity fed 3 tier brew stand and I have a few questions that I'm hoping you folks can help with. I was planning to reuse my BG10 burner/stand to heat up the lowest level of the stand, but I was convinced (in another thread) not to bother and to just go with two BG14...

    Second Year Hops Questions

    This is my second and most disappointing year of growing 4 varieties of hops (Nugget, Newport, Cascade and Magnum). For some reason only the Cascade seemed to flourish this year. The other three didn't produce near as much cones as the first year. In fact the Magnum and Nugget hardly...

    Need some burner advice for me brew stand build

    I've decided to build a three tier brew stand using some scrap bed frame steel that I just got a hold of. It won't be pretty since it will be made mostly from angle iron, but it should function okay. I was planning to build a three tier system, with the hot liquor tank on top, cooler style...
