Hi all - It's been a while since I posted here. I hope I don't get dinged by offering something up for sale where I shouldn't be. You might remember my kegerator refurb from way back in 2007: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kvh/sets/72157600351871098/ I'm sorry to say I haven't used it...

Found this link through Stan Hieronymus' site, Appellation Beer - Why brew with pumpkin IN your beer, when you can brew your beer IN A PUMPKIN! http://www.flickr.com/photos/cog_nate/sets/72157602400060222/ Sweet. kvh

So because of space constraints, I have to keep a very small 'brew-house'. No brew stands, no 3-tier keggles, just the basics. And, for what it's worth, I can successfully brew 5G AG batches on my *ELECTRIC* kitchen stove. I haven't attempted any big beers yet, but in the winter when my...

Found this through the Beer Activist website. X-hBMyaigqI I know I've had enough broken glass in my life for a while. kvh

Ok, so I decided to post this nice and early so I have time to build it all up. My situation is that I just moved from my apartment with a back yard to a 3rd floor 1BR with an electric stove and no reasonable access to the back yard. Couple that with the fact that in January I'll be headed to...

Yeah, I realize it's probably a slow leak... but I have to ask. I drained a co2 tank last week due to a bad pressure-release valve. No problem, taken care of. Got it refilled, up to 1000 PSI, plugged everything back in, fixed the valve, and everything was good. I just took a couple...

I had a keg arrive with pressure, but I fiddled with the pressure valve and now it leaks. (Figured this out after I emptied a new CO2 cylinder). I just ordered a replacement valve for it, but can anyone give me a tip on disassembly? I thought it didn't come apart, but the guy at...

Just a quick FYI, I ran across a '4-way air line' splitter at Big Lots today. It was a milled piece of aluminum with 4 quick-release (female) couplings up the side and a brass plug at the end. It was just waiting to be taken apart, have ball/check valves installed for beer. I think it was...

Forgive me if this has been posted here before, but has anyone considered (or already shot-down) the idea of using an in-line, drill powered pump for moving wort? I just ran across one at Big Lots (always love the cheap stores for unusual tools). I can't find it online, but it is basically a...

I don't have the tower hooked up yet, but I bought a cobra tap for emergencies... Ran all my regulators in succession, and hooked it up. As luck would have it, my brewing partner and the guy who got the two of us interested in homebrew arrived, literally dropped at my door by another friend...

My last part (mostly) just came from MicroMatic. I needed a new primary regulator to replace the dinosaur that came attached to my tank. I have a problem though: The space alloted in the back of the kegerator for a tank/regulator is about an inch too short. I found that I could I could put...

So it's nearly finished, but I wanted to post the project that's been taking up all of my weekend time for a month. I bought a used 1/2 barrel BeverageAir kegerator and was immediately in for more than I bargained for. I hand't paid much attention to it when I handed over the cash, and the...

Ok, so I just bought a kegerator, and it can hold 3 cornies. I'm currently RE-waterproofing the thing (see the other thread) and modifying the tower, etc etc etc. I have a little extra money to play with in the next few weeks, and I believe that if I'm going to convert this, I'm going to do...

I just snagged a sweet new (to me) Beverage Air kegerator manufactured who-knows-how long ago (it's painted a lovely muted brown). I just checked interior dimensions and this thing will hold 3 Cornies, the CO2 tank, and room to spare. It's so great! Time now for me to replace the tower with a...

We're planning on making a beer that'll be a high ABV, thick, black as possible, and hopefully very very rich (don't ask for the recipe - A. you'll all balk at it, and B. it's at home and I'm at work - I can post it later if you're really curious.). I do recall that it has both Chocolate and...

right here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6592693.stm Which appears to be somewhat poorly researched for an article starting in the British Isles... kvh

So someone on craigslist near me is offering up used kegs for $25 each. Awesome, right? So I e-mailed him and he wrote back with his phone number to call him. I did and he said: "My son plays beer pong a lot, and then neglects to return the kegs, losing his $75 deposit. He's strapped for...

I love the hardware store. Out at Lowes last night, I noticed that their Kobalt line of tools are now designed to run off of a miniature tank of compressed CO2. They have 2 sizes of refillable, replacement tanks, 11 and 22 oz each (I think). I don't know what connector it comes with (it was...

Well it's a good thing my hops haven't arrived yet from Freshops, it SNOWED in baltimore last night. Stupid weather...
