I got the ideas from the forum and man I'm glad I did this instead of buying one. Not only is it much cheaper ($25 total parts) but it does heating and cooling. Took about 1 hour start to finish and it's "burning" in right now ready for my first beer this weekend. :ban: Parts...

Could I keg 2.5G and bottle the rest right from the fermentor? Say, fill the keg up first and then what's rest bottle? Maybe use bomber bottles so it's easier? What issues would I have with that? I guess smaller batches makes sense but since I mostly buy kits it would be hard to split it.

I don't have the space to store them cold which is what you should do, right? So you dump it?

Just looking for what other people do. Do you get sick of beers and start a new one, do you run dry, do you time it out so you have one ready? It sucks only have to taps, if I brew something that isn't great I'm stuck with it for 2 months so I better hope the other one is great. I'm thinking...

You're right, I guess I should add that I'm lazy and want things done correctly. I was thinking about building the wort chiller but if it cost $40 I'd rather just path the extra $30 and get one that I know will work without the hacking. I might even skip it until I can afford to get a counter...

I was leaning towards the chamber since no matter what room I put it in my house I can't keep the temperature consistent and in the winter it's near impossible to keep it above 60 during the day once we turn the heat off. I think I'll get a chest freezer and build it this weekend. Thanks

I have money for one, which one would give me the best bang for the buck and better beer?

I think my bucket might have leaks since this is the second batch I don't see bubbles in the airlock. If I push the lid it bubbles out but it doesn't really bubble itself. Hopefully everything is going right, is it possible to check with the hydrometer to see if it's done even if I don't know...

When our friends moved they didn't want their Kegerator :tank: so we took it but for some reason they cut a hold in the door seal (I think to run the co line or something) and now condensation forms inside and leaks out on the floor so I need to fix it. Any thoughts without buying a new one for...

I have two problems. I don't have room in our new kitchen for the kegorator and there is this useless cabinet in the corner that we hate. Solution? :D The space is too small to fit the kegorator but what if I took out the cooling part and built it into the space? Would that work? What would I...

My first 7 batches have been with the dry yeast they came with so this time I decided to try a wyeast package and I can already see the difference. It's been less than 12 hours and already bubbles are going crazy. Before with try yeast it would take around 18-20 and the bubbles were never this...

Should I keep it in the fridge?

It's 3pm now and I'm brewing tomorrow at 6pm so should I start the wyeast process now?

Does it hurt to smack it a day before? Will it pop if it sites for 24 hours?

Does it mean my yeast'ies are not working at full efficiency? I see a lot of people using these instead of just normal airlocks..

Good deal with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VFXW5W/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

I was wondering that too, we have some Brew-on-Premise places and some home brew stores but not a combined one. My perfect store would be one where people can brew their own, buy supplies and a small pub that servers only home brews. A kicker would be if you have a class every month where...

Yeah, wine one I've had for years and some friend gave us the kegorator thus the project. :-)

~500 and about 5 hours. Two beers on tap...I'm thrilled,

Two days at 30 means I need to do it the 5th since I'm going away on the 8th and wont be able to set it back. That means it's in the primary for 13 days..is that better than leaving it in the primary the extra two days and letting is sit at 11psi the entire time?
