So life made brewing something too difficult to maintain, so a little over 8 years ago I packed up my homebrew equipment, called up the guys in my local homebrew club and gave them first picks of my equipment. I thought it was better that it get used than sit in my basement. I closed that...

Well I looked around and I couldn't find any info on my fridge on the forums or the interwebz. So I decided to just make it and post the results. Here she is. She's a single keg and co2 tank kegerator. I had to remove all of the plastic from the door and cover it with a thick black plastic...

So, one of my friends from college is getting married. I recently made a 5 gallon keg for my sisters wedding and it went wonderfully. The only difference is... He wants 6 kegs for a wedding with only 100+- people. I've explained to him how much beer that is, but he is worried about...

Please, For the love of beer, if you ferment in a corny keg, Remeber to hit your lid with some pressure to seat it. It will stay seated even after you bleed to co2, and remove the pressure relief valve... So please don't forget like I did this last time.... To make things worse, my...

This weekend I brought a beer to my sisters wedding. I had a jockey box i made out of an old rolling cooler But one of the legs is busted, Unfortunately this threw out the whole thing, cracked and all. So I am building a new one. a 3 compartment cooler. Tubing all run for each stainless...

So I made a blueberry beer for my sisters wedding, I let it age about 2 months and I took my time. Last night was the wedding and I was extremely nervous. It was only my 3rd all grain batch. So I set up my rolling jockey box and let the bartender so her thing. Although it was poorly...

So I'm gonna try my hand at a smoked beer. I'm also going to infuse some everclear with some bacon but thats secondary. For a base beer how does this recipe look? I've heard that you want 75%+ of your grain bill to be smoked. Briess Smoked Malt 6 lbs, 0 oz Weyermann Smoked Malt 4...

So, My sister is getting married and She had said that her fiance loves blueberry beer. So, I made them a blueberry beer for their reception. They are tasting it this weekend to make sure it works for them (it tastes like blueberry pie, so good) and this is when I will reveal the label my wife...

So I plan on making a rolling jockey box out of a cooler. I am gonna get stainless beverage coil for inside but I don't wanna spend the 80 for 50 feet. Will 25 feet be enough if I keep the keg cool? I just don't want foam.

So, I decided that I wanted to back sweeten a lemonade i made. I'm gonna keg it so I decided that it would be a good idea for me to pasteurize it before kegging. so I transferred from my bucket to a sterilized pot and set it on the stove, It started heating up and everything was going good and...

So this past monday I did my first all grain batch. Almost everything went wrong. The day started with me running to home depot to get an attachment for my hot liquor tank so i could sparge. I get back only to realize i got the wrong size... no problem. I'll dissassemble my 5gal pot that i...

So I just ordered my first kegging setup. 2 kegs with picnic taps and a dual gauge regulator. Here's the issue. I want to do a five gallon brew every week come decent spring weather, that's more than I can keg. Without getting more kegs can I let my beer condition in a secondary bucket and...

Im working on making an all grain rig. Here is what i have so far. I have the lid of the blue cooler open because im going to serpentine a copper tube for sparging and have it attached to the top white for my sparge water. I have 2 turkey fryers on the way and i'm gonna try and...

So i just bottled my first partial mash and the readings I'm getting are strange. my OG was 1.053 which was a little high for my style (blonde ale) but i didn't think anything of it. I pitched my wyeast American ale smack pack and sat it in my closet to ferment. I let it sit for a week and...

Hello! I'm looking into getting a bar setup, but SWMBO has one issue. We have a son (less than 1 year old) and when he gets older she doesn't want him having access to a tap whenever he wants. I agree with her so I found a mini fridge that has a lock on it and I figure i'll store 2 kegs in...

I'm a federal employee, and with the possible government shutdown coming up I could be having some extended time off. Obviously I will want to brew in this time. What sort of style do you think i should brew? I wouldnt mind something with a higher ABV because I won't be going to work! So...
