    3 Tap Homebuilt Kegerator _ Dallas/Lewisville

    Dallas (Lewisville) I'm cleaning out my garage and realized that I will probably never use my kegerator again. It has been used as a deep freeze for the last couple of years, bypassing the conversion thermostat. It's a 7 cu ft freezer conversion, will hold 3 corny kegs and CO2 (plus some other...

    How to hard-wire the STC-1000

    I just converted a fridge into a curing chamber for meat and cheese, and I used an STC-1000, which saved me about $50 off the conventional plug-and-play kegerator conversion thermostats.

    Regarding the "mashability" of pumpkin

    Can I bottle after priming in a keg?

    I know, I know...call me crazy. I've got 5 gallons of pumpkin ale that has been priming in Tap-A-Draft bottles for about 3 days. (Spent 4 days in the primary, went from 1.073 to 1.020, then conditioned in a glass carboy for a week before priming and racking to the TAD bottles.) I've got a...

    Newb question about Tap-A-Draft

    Hey, folks! My name is Ben and I'm in Dallas. This is my VERY FIRST post here! I've been researching homebrew for almost a year, and have finally taken the plunge. I've just racked my very first brew, a pumpkin spice ale, into 3 Tap-A-Draft bottles for their conditioning/priming. I used...
