    Kegerator plans, input appreciated.

    It's been a long long long long long (way too long, I could go on forever) time since I have brewed, and I miss it so. Now my wife is all about me brewing and I really want to dive back in full speed. I think I want to make this my "re-introduction" back into obsessing about this hobby. So...

    Over Carbed Keg

    Great fix! Quick question BierMuncher...I believe I did this as well but the keg is only 1/4 full now. I forgot about it and just bottled beers instead and drank way too many way too quick... Back to question... Would you recommend using that spoon trick for this as well? Seems to be about...

    Mashtun help/coleman cooler deal

    For the next couple of years (if not more) I will most likely only be doing 5 gallons batches as I would not have the money to upgrade to 10 gallon batches. I am perfectly fine with sticking to 5 gallons batches for a while. Would one of those be better than the other? I may go with the...

    Mashtun help/coleman cooler deal

    Hey all, just need some quick input and wanted some people to see this deal I saw on slickdeals.net. I am going to be moving soon and will have enough room to (hopefully) set up an AG area in the townhouse. I need a cooler to convert. I found this...

    Bar or Kegerator?

    So I am torn between building a bar or making a kegerator out of the whirlpool mini fridge we have (not even sure if this is possible as it has a small freezer compartment) that says EL05C on the inside, not sure what the model or size is as it wasn't mine. My question is which is more...

    BIAB Recirculating Induction System

    What do you have on your brew kettle? I'm looking for something like that, hopefully not too expensive. Could you point me in the right direction? I just got my 9 gallon SS brewpot and I can get about 6.5 gallons boiling but not a good roiling boil and I have been told that wrapping it would...

    Equipment upgrade dilemma

    Thanks for all the responses everyone! Sorry for the delay of my response as well. So now to try to answer the questions. When using the same one with a friend there has been no issues while not using a pump so I would say that it works well without a pump. I would love to go AG, kinda...

    Equipment upgrade dilemma

    So now that I am out of college, making money, and have the time I am going to try starting strong again at the beloved hobby of homebrewing. Never really stopped but while in school there was a lack of time and money, but I also got 4 of my friends to start so I was brewing with them on and...

    OG at Temp Above 60 degrees.

    Stark, I have seen on different hydrometers it actually says towards the bottom of it what it reads at. Mine and a couple of my buddies, they are all different hydrometers, says it. It says something like "Specific Gravity @ 60/60 F" Maybe look to see if yours says anything like that on it.

    OG at Temp Above 60 degrees.

    I do not know how other people feel about this, but I have found that this works with the correction scale that came with the hydrometer I have so I sometimes use this site to figure out it without having to think or anything. http://www.myhomebrew.com/hc0.html You can change the...

    Brew night for me tonight, how bout you?

    I can't wait to get out at 5:00 tonight, only 4 more hours. I am headed straight home so I can make sure everything is in order, then I am starting to brew an Oktoberfest Ale which I couldn't do this weekend because I went home for the weekend and my brewing equipment is in my apartment here...

    Who's brewing this weekend?

    I was hoping to brew an Oktoberfest as well, but being it is only my third brew I was either going to pick up a brewer's best kit while at home, or was going to look at a recipe and try to make a lauter-tun and try at a partial mash for the first time. Being as I just had my appendix out I am...

    Dirty Carboy

    So I got an old 5 gallon carboy of my dad's from back home. I was going to use it as a secondary so I went to NT homebrew shop and they gave me some stuff they recommended and said it would kill anything that was in there. My question is.. the outside of it has some pretty nasty stuff on it...

    Size of labels?

    This is for my first brew. I was looking to put a rectangular label on the bottles (like Ithaca Beer. I tried to measure the dimensions and I just want to make sure if this is a good size label for 12 oz bottles (in your opinion of course). The measurements I got were 4.5" x 3.25" (Width by...
