Looks great!

Sorry again for the late reply. I don't get notifications for this thread for some reason. The hole I believe is a 3 incher. I only drilled the top through, then made a smaller whole coming from inside the fridge since there is a maze of freon lines. As for the pallet top. I got heat treated...

Damn, I accidently added the Jalapenos at 60mins and didn't notice/take them out until 28 mins left. Does anyone know if this will have an affect on the spicy factor of the beer?

Thanks! When I racked into secondary, I noticed a really strong chocolate presence. So hopefully this brew will be on par. Kegging on July 4th!

I am doing a shoot off of this recipe and has been sealed for about 2 months now. I will be kegging this week if you care to follow up: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/nutella-milk-stout-406227/

Alrighty! Racked the brew into a secondary, and the FG came out at 1.021 which gives the brew about a 6.02% ABV. Not bad! This beer is DARK, like muddy puddle dark. I did the best I could to get a shot from direct light, it gives off a dark amber color when thinned. When poured into my...

It's completely open. I take it you're asking since some debris could get caught in the web and cause and explosion? Also, thanks for the vanilla bean tips. I'll most likely be adding only one for the duration of the cocoa nibs.

Oh really? I've never heard that before. How much, and for how long? Ouch! I just ran down the the hardware store and picked up some 1/2 inch tubing to make a make-shift blow-off tube. The fermentation was getting really agressive, so I thought 'better safe than sorry'.

Looks like fermentation is going well. OG came out at 1.071!

Yeah, I may just do 1 1/2 weeks. I already have a strong chocolate presence with the cocoa powder, but we'll see. I'll update a week/week and a half from now when I rack to secondary.

I was thinking the same myself. I've never worked with nibs before and didn't know how long it would take to saturate. I'll most likely throw them in during the last 1 1/2 weeks in the secondary. How much was too much when you did two weeks?

Wow! This is coming along quite nicely. Do you plan on staining?

There seems to be very limited attempts at this and I've always been a nutella fan so I thought "why not?". This will be an extract batch (still saving up for AG equipment). 1 lb. Black Patent (Give it that nice rich dark color) 0.5 lbs. Chocolate Malt 0.5 lbs. Roasted Barley 6 lbs...

Sorry for not following-up sooner. Here are some pictures of my build. I actually ruptured a freon line with a hole saw. Do not, I repeat DO NOT use a hole saw on the top of these fridges. Start from the bottom up from inside the fridge so you can see the lines as you clear the insulation...

I'll have pics up this weekend! Starting tonight after work.

Just bought this exact model. It fits two ball-locks with a 5lb CO2 on the hump inside the fridge. This is one of the best fridges to get at the moment for kegerator conversions.

I just got my Igloo 4.6 FR464 and two ball locks plus a C02 fit pefectly without much modification. Though, my fridge did NOT have a freezer panel to bend down. It's build into the fridge walls, so that step isn't necessarily. It's a pretty awesome fridge for a cheap kegerator project.

It fits two ball-lock corny's perfectly without any modification.
