I've seen the exploding keg topic appear from time to time in this and in other forums. Thought I pass along this very sad news from today: http://m.seacoastonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?aid=/20120424/NEWS/120429898&template=wapart

This is a project that's been on the back burner a while (like most of 'em). While I've had my Crankandstein 3 roller mill motorized for over a year now, it's been a pretty crude setup: all mounted to plywood that I'd setup on sawhorses when needed. Figured it was time to work on a dedicated...

Thought I would share. I pieced these hoses together so I could use my march pump the cycle cleaning solutions from the dip tubes and back into the "gas in" posts of my corny kegs. Because I'm too lazy to disassemble them every time, and too cheap to waste CO2 for this...

I thought I should share: a local homebrew club, Brasseurs a la Maison, created this to serve brews at the Zapp's Beer Festival in Baton Rouge this past weekend.

Hello all. I'm looking for advice on the choice of pump to handle the following duties: 1) move ice water through future plate chiller, 2) power a cip system for keggle & keg MLT, and most importantly 3) generate enough pressure and flow to clean the inside of full sized sankey keg...

I recently fashioned a simple tool for disassembling a reassembling sanke keg spears. I bought a 1 ft. length of stainless pipe from McMaster: Item # 89895K279 http://www.mcmaster.com/#89895k279/=bn9qq3 I used the edge of my angle grinder's wheel to cut notches into each end of the pipe, and...

This is the damage done by one of my varmints after using my fancy new calibrated kettle stick one time:

I just received my brand new Crankandstein 3 roller mill, and I'm feverishly researching the forums here- looking at the fine work of others and trying to decide on how I want to proceed with a build for a base and hopper, possibly motorized. I do have the very simple base and hopper that...

Hi guys. Time to really start my life as a homebrewer. I'm about to fire up the burner and start heating mash water for my first brew. I'm trying to keep it as simple as I can for this one- shooting for 11 gallons of 1.045 OG two row/sterling SMaSH. I'll post some pics later when the day is...

I've spent a lot of time, money and effort in the last year trying to build my brewery. I've kept my eye on the prize: ten gallon all grain batches. How much have I brewed yet? Not a drop... but I'm almost there! One of my big problems right now is the overflow of beer bling in my limited...

This is the text I received in an e-mail a couple of days ago: "Attention home brewers. We’re proud to announce the 2010 Abita Home Brewer Contest, Saturday, November 13, 2010. It’s an open competition for all brew styles and there is no entry fee. The Grand Prize winner will receive the...

This project has been on the back burner for a long time. It's been in the back of my mind that I'd eventually get serious about homebrewing for about ten years now, so I've been saving all all my Grolsch bottles during this time.

Alright, guys. This is where I am on the road to homebrew bliss. In an attempt to do everything completely backwards, I've decided to build my keezer first. So I bought this Frigidaire 7 cu. foot freezer:

I've only been lurking about this site for a short time, but the inspiration that I've gotten from all of your ideas, photos, and videos has been invaluable to me as I work towards putting together my own brewery. Thanks! I've got the brewing bug, and I think that realizing my first 10...
