first off I am horrible at math!!! so this is a math question. I am wanting to figure my brewhouse efficiency off of a partigyle because this is the only batch I have done that I took definitive measurements of. So if you can help please do. I know there are some calculators out there that will...

I brewed a chocolate chipolte stout last year. I used S05, it worked out pretty well. One word of advice if you haven't brewed a chili beer.....soak the chilis in everclear so that you don't risk infection. Also be careful about the amount of chili. What tastes good at the time of addition...

I disagree. You could build a fermentation chamber out of it. hey if it will cool a house think of how well it could cool a small room

IF YOU HAVE NEVER WORK WITH ELECTRICITY DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS! If you have, and are somewhat knowledgeable it is easily done. Either a double pole 240v 40 amp breaker or running line from 2 single pole 120v 20 amp breakers. Run the lines to the new outlet making sure to use the appropriate...

I'm in for one.....maybe. I tried to build on, but all I had was a carbon fiber rod. It lasted on carboy......

if you cut the lines, you can solder the lines back together, but unless you are really good at soldering, I wouldn't. The other thing you have to keep in mind is that you would need to capture the refrigerant and refill once you are done. I am also not real sure if it's good the have the...

something you might consider if you can get hold of a full size fridge. I took a thermostat from a window ac unit to replace the thermostat on the refrigerator. I now have a fridge that holds from 40 to 70 and anywhere in between within 2 degrees plus or minus. I have been running this for...

gclay, if blue moon and swamp water taste the same to you I would suggest seeing a medical professional. :fro: I actually kinda like Blue moon for a different BMC. Granted it's not a micro, specialty or anything. But for a coors product you have to see it for what it is, an entry into a...

doing my job tonight to help get Lubbock out of the top 30 sobers....Come on guys, Sogrates tonight!!! Let's get the ball rolling!!!

for 12 dollars I might bite the bullet next payday just for a looksee.

would something like this, with a t- and ball valve for co2 work for a beer gun? Just thinking....... maybe 2 taped/soldered together. Being aluminum, would that be bad? I know stainless would be best, but 2 for 12 dollars and a couple fittings and lines??? cheaper than an blichmans. Has any...

Rockler.com has the threaded inserts for 8.69 for a package of 8. Make as many as you want, sell the leftover inserts to a friend.....heck make extra handles and sell them at your next brew club meeting!!!

you sir....owz me new keyboard now!!!

I agree on the pricing varying from store to store. Where I am from it is anywhere from $18 to $36 for the hydro testing, and then filling is about $1 per pound or so. The fill price is about the same everywhere, but the testing....:mad:

Thanks Jaw!!!! I might have gotten lucky and they all are pin style!!!! that might not mean much to you guys that like the ball lock, but here in Texas, and at my LHBS that is what they stock the kits too!!!!:rockin:

curses, just came across this thread.....I had no idea they were any difference in kegs.....I picked up 12 out of about 30 of them laying on the ground with 1 co2 tank. I am betting that out of 12 I probably got a mixture of pin and ball lock not knowing there was a difference. I had just heard...

I have heard honey makes astringent cider like a mead, which needs about a year to become drinkable. Does the brown sugar do the same? I plan on bottling after 8 weeks, and then aging as necessary till greatness is achieved.........or untill I can't take it anymore and don't worry about...

Well delved into the first try at this stuff. I WAS going to use Ed Worts recipe....but.......I went with this instead I created 2 batches both the exact same ingredients other than the juice. 1 gallon apple juice in one batch, 1 gallon apple cider in the other batch. 1 gallon apple ...
