My keezer died a few months back. Reflecting on my build and comparing to what I have now, my opinion is that unless you plan to have more than 2 kegs on tap, go with a kegerator. I found leaning over my collar into the keezer to clean it was a nightmare. Although it was well insulated, it...

Local homebrew club did a group brew with our local brewery, an English IPA. Today i took my 5 gallons of beer and transferred to secondary - on top of hops, vanilla and Tea bags. We will see how it works out.

If I use a normal 30 amp 2 pole breaker and run wire to an outlet and use one of these will it work?

I saw different videos on how to cut your cord or how you could make a jumper. Couldn't I just use something like a camper power connector? Like this?

I used lactic acid after boil to reach desired ph, added goodbelly and soured to 3.7ph. Tastes sour now. I'm just wondering if I add hops and a concentrated fruit sweetener will it kill the sour taste? That is NOT what I want. I want it sour but with more color and flavor

Brewed my first sour and I am pleased with the result but it needs more flavor. I plan to rack onto secondary with some hops and some fruit flavoring which is concentrated and sweet. Will this kill the sour taste or amplify it?

Attempted my first sour this weekend. making a Blueberry Cream Ale Sour. Recipe was simple for 3 gallon batch. 75% 2-row, 20% Flaked Corn, 5% Flaked Oats Boiled for 15 min, brought temp down to 70. Took PH reading - 5.4. Added Lactic Acid to get down to 4.5 Pitched carton of Blueberry Acai...

I have a couple more questions. Im only making a 3 gallon batch - does it matter how much of the GoodBelly I add? Ive seen where people add the whole carton to a 5 gallon batch - should I use less? Also - Im assuming the fermentation time is all based on the yeast and activity I see in the...

AFter doing a bunch of reading I plan to add Lactic Acid to my Pre-Sour wort to reach about 4.5 PH. Then I plan to add GoodBelly (the half quart carton) to the wort and store for 24 hours. After 24 hours I hope to be at a PH of 3.5 or close. What do I do if my PH is way higher or way lower at...

Hello. We recently purchased a new fridge and kept the old one for use in the garage. The old one has broken and cracked shelving and is smaller than the new one. I would like to turn the freezer side into a normal fridge and the fridge side into a ferm chamber. I have no clue as how to do...

Yeah - those ones are nice but just as much as 3 gallon ones. Was hoping someone had some they wanted to get rid of.

yeah - I might end up having to go that route - just never paid over $40 for a keg. pill is a little hard to swallow for something smaller - ya know?

Papasam - love the idea and the pics. I have extra bottling and brew buckets so I may try this.

also - my gigawort didnt come with any instructions but learned the hard way I had to set my boil temp for 218 instead of 212 - 212 gets it boilgin but the temp will drop about 5 degrees before it ramps up again which will kill the boil. Drove me nuts trying to figue that out. Made a bock the...

Thank you all for the replies. Papasam - do you have any pics of this brew bucket sparge setup? I would love to see. Also - do any of you use any kind of insert on the bottom of your gigawort to keep the bag from scorching?

I have a small 5.0 CF keezer which I built an 8" collar for. 2 - 5 gallon cornys fit nice and snug on the bottom along with the 5lb tank and regulator which sits on the hump. I moved my Co2 tank outside the keezer so its easier for me to monitor the gauges and free up some space inside. Now...

I swapped it. You were right, could see right thru to other side. Much happier now

Hello, I have a keezer with a 3 way gas line distributor that has the inlet from the regulator on the right hand side and a plug on the left. My question is, can I swap the plug and inlet barb so the inlet will be on the left instead? This model does have a check valve Anyone know if this...

Wasnt sure where to post this but its all in 5 gal corny kegs so here goes.. Making a PB and chocolate stout. Plan on close transferring from fermenting keg to a secondary keg that has the PB and chocolate in it already. 2 questions. 1 - Should I put my PB and cocoa nibs into bags in the...

Looking for a free program to display my taplist. Doesnt need all the integrations as I dont have plato or anything. I have a monitor above my keezer and just thought it would be cool to display whats on tap. If I like the app I may consider getting a Plato setup and integrating and paying the...
