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...

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...

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...

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

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..

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

I'm wondering if ice formed in there and it just melted? Is this normal, I was going to build it into a cabinet but if it's going to leak water I wont be able to do this.

I racked to the primary on Wed and it's going full throttle right now. My plan was to have this ready to bottle/drink on the 15th of July so what should be my plan of action? Here is my plan..what should I change(if anything)? - Let it sit in primary until the 7th of July. - Rack to...

My regulator is only set for around 11psi but I get about 2/3 head on my beer. How can I lower this, should I release all the co2 in the kegs, lower the regulator and it will fix itself?

I've made a kit twice now and I love it so my plan is to keep making a keg of that and using my other corny to experiment with. The reason I'm planning this is my current two taps are not that great so I have to suffer through them before I can rack a new beer and I wont allow anyone to try...

Should I try to get it as low as possible before mixing in water? It seem if I mix my 2g with 3g of cold water from the tap I can reach that 70 degree mark much faster. No?

This kit came with orange/lemon to dump in during the boil...should I try to filter it out before I leave it sit for a couple of weeks in the fermentor?

It seems like it lets in a lot of air which is fine for wort to carboy but not for racking.

The chest freezer is around $250 while I can get a mini fridge for around $120. Material to build the chamber around the fridge might run another $50 so it's cheaper and I would build it to fit everything correctly so it seems to be the better option but I'm worried I wont be able to lower the...

I setup my kegs(two) last night and I have this fear that my damn cats will jump up there, rub on the handles and the entire keg will drain out on my floor. :( My dog loves beer so he'll probably drink as much as he can before he passes out but it would suck. Anyone have something like this...
