    Cleaning/Sanitizing Question

    Samuel Smith's Brewery in England still does open fermentation. Check out their website....http://www.samuelsmithsbrewery.co.uk/

    extracting beer from fermenter to test for SG?

    Get a wine thief, it makes it so much easier to test your gravity and you don't waste beer.

    kegerator condensation freezes

    I had this problem with my previous keezer. Once it died and I replaced it I added some 1" thick pink foam board to the inside of the wooden collar and it's never happened with this keezer. I think thickly insulating the wood on the inside helped a lot since wood is a poor insulator. I notice...

    Maybe I am just a dick...

    What he said. Classic example I've found on this forum is the JAOM recipe. It's as basic as it gets, follow the instructions, use the bread yeast like your supposed to and it's great. But people always use a different yeast, add things, subtract things and then complain it didn't turn...

    Ohio Free Bottles

    I have about 2-1/2 to 3 cases worth of bottles I'm looking to part with. Some still have some labels on them but the majority do not. I have a few beer crates that I've made, might throw in one of those as well. There is no charge but I wouldn't turn away a bottle or two of your brew ;)...

    No Mill, now what?

    What he said....I just bought a Corona Mill for about $26.00 with free shipping. It's not worth the time to try to figure out a way around it for this small of an investment IMO.

    I LOVE Costco!!!

    I shop there at least once a week. They have a great beer selection as mentioned. My Costco is currently stocking Stone 12 pack samplers, Sierra Neveda sampler cases and cases of Great Lakes Brewery products. Another perk that nobody has mentioned is their car buying program. I bought my...

    DIY Tap Handle conversion

    I have Perlick 525's on my keezer but I'm just using White Labs Yeast tubes for my handles. I'm sure the handle you have in mind would work but I'd be concerned about long term wear with that much weight on the tap. I'm sure some of the "factory" tap handles can be a bit weighty but I've never...

    Joe's Ancient Orange Mead

    I finally opened my first bottle of JAOM that I made last May, bottled in Aug and stuck in my cabinet until this weekend. I followed the original directions. My only regret is that I only made a 1 gallon batch, this stuff is good!

    DIY Tap Handle conversion

    Out of curiosity how heavy is that prop pistol? Just wondering if the weight might be a bit much for the tap. I'd hate to see it accidentally open the tap....

    Poll: Are you a kegger or bottler?

    The first year or so I bottled since then it's been kegs all the way. For me it's a lot easier, faster, takes less space. Bottling days used to take some time. Sanitize the bottles, transfer to the bottling bucket, fill, cap and stack the crates in the closet for a few weeks to carb. Now I...

    My Stirplate... Cheap and Easy Build...

    Made mine about a month ago using the instructions and advice from folks in this thread. I'm an electrical dummy but still managed to make it work after only killing one PC fan wiring it up backwards :D. The second fan I found was a tight fit in the project box but it works well. I can only...

    I have a couple of cases worth of bottles I'm looking to part with. Some still have some labels on them but the majority do not. I also have a capper/caps that can go with the bottles as well if needed. I also have a couple of 5-gal water bottles with bungs as well as a old 5 gallon glass...

    I just clicked on the link to see what was up. I was curious as my kids names are Jack and Abbey :)

    Show us your Kegerator

    I added a stout tap to my keezer last night. I still have to get the beer gas and the lines hooked up. Of course now I need to brew something for that tap too...it's a never ending cycle :D I did a bit of basement remodeling as well. This keezer build has turned into a full on basement...
