I built Kals ElectricBrewery about 9 years ago with converted kegs for the HLT and BK and my main regret is not inverting my boil kettle. I went with a large plastic food safe drum as a mash tun but it’s WAY too big. Have an extra keg so now I’m trying to decide if I should turn it into an...

Guess it didn't turn out so well? No update/results. :)

Last name EVER, first name BEST!

A.G. R.I.S.......A.G. R.I.S.......A.G. R.I.S.......and All Grain was his Name-o.

I have a deluxe counter-pressure bottle filler from MoreBeer that i rarely use if that will work.

That was real heavy duty stuff, hard to bend/manipulate with bare hands--It was either 10/3 or 10/2 from HD and i had to buy 25' of it for almost $1/ft even though i only ended up needing about 3' for the job. (Installed by a professional electrician. ) Just because it is orange doesn't mean it...

I sent them an email. Thanks for the tip.

I use one magnet... in a wooden cigar box and a 2" stir bar works great with a 2L flask

I used 1.25 med toast oak spirals that I had soaked in tawny port in my hydrometer. Added to secondary and let it sit in there about two months. Oops. Way...too oaky Added some more port to a small sample using a 3 ml syringe to taste and did the math for the 5gal batch. Figured I wanted...

My dad and I rented one of those lifts to drywall the ceiling of his woodshop. Worth every penny to crank those drywall panels up and hold them tight against the joists! Looking great!

I am 99% sure I used a stainless steel coil/spring inside the braid, to give it some extra strength, but I definitely don't have any pictures of that.

There are some pictures of the barrel/labeling up above but you can also look in my gallery to see how it all came together. The barrel was a gift from a friend, whose employer over-ordered them so they were getting rid of them (they do NOT stack well since the sides are vertical). EDIT...

Buy big or buy twice. You might want to "only brew 5 gallons" today, but in a year, you and your buddy might be wanting to split 10gal or even larger batches. I brew inside using a control panel I built following instructions I purchased from theelectricbrewery.com and I sourced all of the...

I stand corrected?

what, no solar panels??? haha

Hope you are kidding. Hops are poisonous to dogs. You can use spent grains to make dog cookies but once the hops have been added at boil....not a good idea...

Not ever. Love it!

If you use a temp controller that has the capability to cool AND heat, you can attach a small heater (can light bulb, etc) and whenever the temp inside the freezer gets BELOW the target (+/- set allowable variance), the heat will kick on (just like the freezer does when the temp rises above the...

I have spent WAY more on this hobby than my wife realizes.... (that felt good. Let's keep going....) I have never used PBW on my brewing system (only on used kegs I just bought from questionable sources and wanted to remove stains). I gently 'wash' what I can reach with a plastic yellow and...

Dude! You are a legend! Glad to see you back in the saddle! Congrats on being still alive!
