You plan bottle 1 BBL? You're brave.

Forgive me for being a unsure (I don't keg quite yet), but how do you force carb a keg at a higher PSI while keeping the other keg at serving pressure with only one regulator?

Ha! It seems enormous for now, though I don't have any grain bills larger than 15# in the near future. Edit: Forgot to add...I wound up with 78% efficiency after splitting up my batch sparge into two steps. Successful first all-grain!

You mean from the valve into my boil kettle? I agree, and that's what I have set up. This pic was just in the middle of draining. Thanks for the advice!

I was recently given a cooler from Costco that is not quite perfect as an MLT, but I made a few adaptions that I believe will allow it to work out well. The model is a 62 Quart Igloo MaxCold Island Breeze cooler. Before I test it out, does anybody have any tips based on what they see here? The...

It was definitely NOT kim chee. I wouldn't mind if it was...this was a combination of rotting crap and soy sauce. I'm still shuddering. I wish I wasn't in a condo, otherwise I may have offered to take them for free. I just don't have the means to even attempt to clean them out. YUCK!

Well, I headed down there to check them out and long story short....I didn't buy them. The kegs were in great shape on the exterior, but were heavy when I went to pick them up. Upon opening, each one was FULL of rotting food from over 3 years ago, according to the people selling them...

Sounds good. Too hard to pass up on the kegs for the price, so I will go grab them. Worst case, I could just flip them again on Craigslist. Thanks for the quick responses!

Hey guys...I've found a lady who is looking to sell 4 ball lock kegs for 20/piece on craigslist. It appears to be a family moving sale and so I am guessing she doesn't have a way to test and see if the kegs can hold pressure. I'm only moving towards kegging, so I don't have a way to test them...

Generally speaking, 50-65 depending on which store you visit. Definitely more expensive than I would prefer. I'm out in Lawrence regularly and could easily bring a few bags out to cut the distance for you if we're able to get a GB rolling.

As the title suggests, just a feeler for a KC group buy. I haven't seen anything in a few months and the only local places aren't as cheap as what I have seen on other group buys in this forum ($35 for a bag of 2-row, etc.). So, anybody interested?

This guy scares me. Who puts a laugh track behind themselves when alone? If Jeffrey Dahmer had access to iMovie, he would likely do something similar to this video.

How did this turn out? Any suggestions for those looking to skip decoction?

Awesome. Thanks so much. I was afraid to bend it, but I was able to get it bent and all of the coils (save for the send/return) are submerged in 5g of liquid inside my keggle. :rockin: Hopefully others will find this thread if they have a similar question.

This may sound entirely silly, but I have tried and tried to get my location to change on my profile. It simply will not update! Any words of wisdom on this matter?

Agreed. I'd love a picture. Just to be clear, is your chiller a Midwest 25' Steel IC?

Interesting. Any way you could upload a picture so that I could see what your stretching did to the IC?

Did anything ever come of this? I am in the same boat and I am not sure what to do. I have the same model except for the hookups, which are straight to clear tubing, not to an ordinary garden hose. I just ordered some silicon tubing that I am planning on sliding over the normal tubing to...

Oops. Looks like you've gotta empty it out a bit more!

Uh oh. abarker8541 has a full PM box...Hopefully they'll see this and empty it out! And, of course, I will bring some homebrews!
