Hey guys, quick question, I have access to two ice cream coolers similar to the pic posted for $25 each. I'm curious if I should risk it and attempt to build a keezer out of them or if I should just stick to a free freezer I can get locally. I like the design of the ice cream chest but not...

To keep this post relatively short, I'm going give a summary of what I've encountered. Using a Festa Brew Pilsener kit, I left my brew in the primary with a tight lid for 6 weeks for a variety of reasons, mainly just from being busy/lazy with life, school, work, etc. So, I lift the lid to...

I'm kegging a brew and will have about 4 liters left over after the keg is full. My plan is to fill 2 2 liter bottles and I'm wondering how much sugar to put in. I've never bottled before let alone tried to improvise with a pop bottle. I'm also assuming that I use dextrose right? Thanks in...

I'm brewing a festa brew kit Blonde Lager as my first beer. SWMBO is privy to lagers and given the fact that I'm trying to start some major brewing, I figured I'd go with the blonde as the first one. After 2 weeks in primary and 2 weeks in secondary, I racked to the keg and tasted the beer...

I kegged my first brew and didn't realize that I should have had another container ready for the leftover beer. I have about a gallon of beer left in my carboy sitting on the yeast gunk. I just put the airlock back on and put it back in the dark. What is my best bet for using the rest of this...

Hey guys/gals, I'm looking at taking the handles off of my fridge that I'm converting and putting on something cool as handles. So far my limited imagination is saying a hockey stick or baseball bat..... Wondering if you guys have done anything or if you have any suggestions. I'd like...

I have an older style kenmore apartment sized fridge that I will be converting to a 2 tap kegerator. I've decided that I'm going to go through the door rather than the side of the fridge, although that may still change due to the lower height of the door. I'm looking for a checklist of what I...

So, I have to start by saying that I'm in Canada, where everything is more expensive, but I went out today to pick up another bucket to use as a primary and I nearly puked when the cash register rang in at $24.17!!!!!! What the heck? Does this sound right? Just a 5 gallon bucket with a lid....

Ok, before I start, I should state that by first brew, I mean my first kit, I'm a beginner and learning as I go so I'm starting simple. I bought a Blonde Lager kit by Festa Brew. I have a bucket for primary, which I don't have an airlock for, plan on just placing the lid on top, and a...

I was lucky enough to be given a decent setup for what I want to start kegging beer and sooner or later build a keggerator. I have several questions but will start basic. First off, this is a list of what I was given: 20lb CO2 tank 4 corny kegs, 2 with sprite still in them, they're all...

Hello everyone, I'm almost ready to brew, have the gear, just have to decide what I'm going to start with, festa brew or a can kit. Have what I want for a corny keg set up, (I think), just have to get the wheels turning. Planning on starting with a lager and hope to have two or three brews...
