Especially if their taps are on the floor above the kegerator. I have my kegerator in the basement, and my taps are about 8 ft above, in the kitchen. I ran a loop of 1/4 OD copper line, along with my beer lines, insulated in a bundle, inside 2 inch PVC. My problem is that I can't find a pond...

Well I started working on it Friday. I'm sick of bottling, and I got the fridge for free, so I figured I'd go for it. I ordered a lot of the stuff from micro matic and bought the rest at my LHBS. The fridge is going in the basement and I'm going to run the lines up the laundry chute and mount my...

Well it wasn't today, actually 2 weeks ago, but I just got around to posting the pictures. First, here's my 10 gallon rubbermaid MLT. Didn't feel like using a ball valve for whatever reason, so I used one of these valves instead. Here's an exploded view of all the parts I used for the...

I'm working on my keg setup, with the fridge in my basement and my taps in my kitchen. I want to insulate the beer lines, and use copper tubing and a pond pump to keep them cold. I will have three beer lines, and two copper tubes. I have some thick insulation that is meant for copper pipe...

I'm playing around in beer alchemy, and trying to come up with a brown ale, since I want to start trying to come up with my own recipes. I want to make an american brown ale, and I came up with something that fits all the style guidelines, but I'm pretty new to this whole thing, so tell me what...

Well i'm getting ready to get into kegging. I just had 15 gallons that were all ready to bottle around the same time, and I am running out of places to store all these bottles. I want to have 2 or three taps in my kitchen. I have a laundry chute with a door in my kitchen, and I want to mount...

The cvs by my house was giving away a turkey fryer. It has been there for a while and I entered multiple times. It seemed like I was the only one entering, because the pad with the entry forms was still full. Well I went in there last night and it was gone. I asked the lady working "so I take...

I'm planning to go all grain, so I already made a MLT from a 10 gallon home depot cooler with a copper manifold. I am thinking about grabbing a 2 or 3 gallon cooler from work for small AG batches and partial mashes in the kitchen until I get a burner and a larger brew pot. If my manifold fits in...

I'm trying to finish off my Mr. Beer kits that I got as a gift. I made a batch of the west coast pale ale, and used a pound of light DME instead of the booster. I also added a half ounce of fuggle hop pellets at 60 minutes and another half ounce at 15. pitched a whole pack of safale us-05 yeast...

It was a brewer's best American amber extract kit. I don't have the recipe here at work, so maybe I'll post it when I get home. But basically it was a can of amber LME, and bag of amber DME, 1 oz willamette hops at 60 minutes and another oz at 5 I think. Oh yeah, there were steeping grains too...

Maybe because I poured the whole bottle in, not realizing it is bottle conditioned? Damn it! I only have one too, since I made a mix and match 6 pack at world market. I wanted to taste it to compare what my American Amber is going to taste like, but now it isn't going to taste right. I usually...

I made my first 5 gallon batch last night with my new brewer's best kit. I did everything the directions said and cooled to wort to 70 degrees, added luke warm water to the 5 gallon mark and pitched the yeast. I put it in the upstars closet and stuck my liquid crystal themometer on the side of...
