Its all good, live an learn :)

+1 on the angle grinder + cutting wheel. If you can make a 'jig' like bobby showed in his video's it makes for a very clean, round, fast cut. I think it took me less than a minute to cut it off using a jig style similar to bobby's. Make sure to fill the keg 1/2 way with water before you cut as well.

I would have to say when life/work gets in the way of homebrewing.

I am a brewaholic there for i must.... drink it.

Thanks Grimsawyer :) I will post some updates/pictures once i get this project going.

Nice job on explaining this in detail!

I put mine upside down in the cases with the bottom lined in paper towels, let them sit while i get everything ready for racking, this allows for most of the liquid to drain out with out getting the bottom of your cardboard cases wet.

Nice job! Next time i would speed it up a bit though :)

When adding priming sugar/racking i like to angle my hose to run sideways along the side/bottom of the bucket to make it all move in a swirling motion. +1 on the 3/4 cup with two cups of water. I usually don't even cool it, i start my siphon and wait till there is about 1/2" or so at the bottom...

Nice job! You will be happy the first time you use it. Make sure to clean and sanitize it when you are done!

So i went in to Home Depot on my way home from work yesterday and saw this http://tinyurl.com/2oqdrf (Magic Chef® 10 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer). I didn't have a chance to make the paper cut outs but i did measure the inside excluding the hump. It was 28"x19". This one was cheaper and bigger. I will...

Good call Chello on the paper circles! Simple/effective/cheap solution!! Kilted Brewer: I might do the collar. I have done quite a bit of reading up on Keezers and i should of said nothing of the tower / spouts. I am not set on what i want to do at the moment, more on what i can fit and if its...

So i would like to build a keezer and I have a gift card to Home Depot. I figured i would start with the freezer purchase first. Here is a link to one i found and was wondering what your thoughts where. http://tinyurl.com/39yr29 . I would like for it to hold 5 or 6 corneys, have a draft tower...

Congrats! Time to brew up another one now that the carboy is free!

+1 on the water 1st

At least its all up hill from here :)

Thanks Tex!

How much dextrose i should use for priming a 1/2 gallon?

Cheap Vodka Read about it on these forums. I am using a cheap bottle that some one brought over to my house that I wouldn't touch with a 10' pole.
