I had a thread "Keezer tips" a while ago, but for the build I decided to start a new one. I hope to get a lot of stuff done tomorrow and have beginning pics. 94 tomorrow I make no promises.

I bought a 15 cubic foot freezer from a garage sale today and have finally gotten SWMBO to accept it in our small apartment living room.:ban: I plan on beginning with just the cheapo picnic taps until I get the cash for faucets. What I'm wondering is any tips anyone can offer me on converting to...

I am wondering why in the recipe I have posted below in the ingreadent list they have the same thing listed twice, and not just combine them? They both get added at the beginning of the boil? Also, I'm not too concerned with getting everything to be exactly like the recipe so could I just use 6...

Since I live in a small apartment and don't have the money to commit to buying the equipment for a 5 gallon kit, I hope to start brewing 1 gallon of beer at a time.
