I think you are on to something there as well. I say go for it and let's give this thread some nice impressions on our (now) 6 beers!

I got a nice variety of IPA hops from my last YVH order, and I am having a hard time getting the "goodness" out of them that other people describe. In particular, I am annoyed that I am getting subdued flavor and aroma from: Mosaic, Denali, and El Dorado. I've tried a few combos pairing them...

Still available guys! Is the price bad? I am a little surprised that this is taking a hot minute to hook up a fellow HBT member :tank:

old V1 of Beersmith still going strong (with a few manual additions of "new" hops and grains). BUT I use www.brewtoad.com more and more these days. can access it and whip up a recipe when inspiration strikes from basically any device without needing to D/L an actual app. they also store all...

hey guys, my trusty two product regulator needs a new home! perfect for having 2 beers on tap, or one carbing and one serving. it is not a dual gauge design, so the PSI will be the same on both kegs. it has a built-in washer, which has been super helpful instead of having to track one down each...

according to some 6+ year old posts, there was a chain of paintball supply stores around here that actually advertised that their CO2 was perfect for beer dispensing. BUT, when I tried to track them down (links were dead), I discovered that they went under. sucks for me, but probably worse for...

oh I actually heard of Bacon, but I was trying to avoid having to drive that far, but that price is definitely tempting. I work in Grand Prairie and live in Colleyville BTW

I guess it has been a hot minute since I needed a refill, but I just went searching across Dallas - Ft Worth area for places to swap my 5lb tank, and it was quite a chore! Back in Philly, every beer distributor did swaps for $12-15. easy peasy. but here in TX, man, are people not kegging or...

if it is like mine that was just delivered, then no. you (like me!) will need to figure out how to unmount the freezer and move it out of the way to have enough clearance to even get the keg in there. one you do that, there is plenty of room for your setup at least you won't have to shave a...

What is the trick to removing the screws inside the freezer part (to take it off the top and let it rest on the hump so I can cram my 2 ball locks in there)? I can barely get a hand in there, let alone any tools...I thought I would be able to have this up and running by the weekend (old fridge...

dang...so there are lines EVERYWHERE on this particular model huh? that's the problem with the custom build I "had" to do in order to appease my wife. those 2 perlicks go right through the wood and then right into the side of a circa early 80s mini fridge that was nothing but insulation on the...

my old kegerator fridge is on its last legs (might even be dead by the time I get home), and this thread on this model has sparked my interest big time. I basically built a rolling 2 tap bar, so for my setup I would need to drill my 2 shank holes and gas lines THROUGH THE SIDE of this unit...

dah! my electric company pays $35 for old fridges, but they have to be 10 cu ft minimum. I didn't notice any oil leaking, but I will get down there and check the connections and hope for the best. thanks for the guidance!

I think US-05 is an absolute beast of a yeast, and I've gotten crazy high attenuation using harvested yeast cakes. my $0.02 would be to make a "smaller" beer first that is 1.050-1.055 (assuming you make it as a 3.5 gallon batch), and once that ferments out do a simple rinse and re-pitch of...

so I get home last night and notice that my kegerator fridge (an old Kenmore Coldpoint that has to be from the 80s that bought on CL for my project) is making a clicking sound from the back, the compressor is HOT, and the unit isn't cooling. frak. I unplug it for a while to start looking...

ok guys, let's keep this potential grain buy open, but back the time frame up to the fall (maybe late Sept/early Oct?). I just went out and bought enough grain to last a few batches, but I know that I would still like to do this moving forward. tell your friends! or just drive to Q-town and...

since I didn't know better at the time, I bought a beverage factory dual output regulator when I built my kegerator, and it has worked fine-ish until recently. now, when I turn one of the little plastic shut off valves to cut the gas flow, it is all loose and I can hear an audible "hiss" until...

that would depend on the success (or lack thereof) of this round... and we haven't exactly hit the ground running so far! plus I want to brew, like...soon, so if this doesn't magically take off by next week, I'll pull the plug and we can re-visit in a month or 2.

I kinda figured that would be the concensus. But I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if there were any magical tales of speed fermentation with the 002. No biggie though! I appreciate the opinions. I'll just grab a case of local micro and bring a mix of whatever I can scrounge up from my home...
