    Smallest Chest Freezer that will hold 3 kegs?

    Also forgot to add, the holiday 5.0 won't even fit 2 pin lock kegs on the floor. Had to switch to ball locks.

    Smallest Chest Freezer that will hold 3 kegs?

    I have the holiday 5.0. It will NOT fit 3 without a collar. Here's a link of my little keg build. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-5-0cf-keezer-build-287735/

    What gives good head?

    Yes, and dishwasher detergent kills head too. Hand wash your beer glasses

    Dry tea hop

    I tried this once by doing the french press method. Used two ounces. I was not happy with the results. Feel I get better hop aroma and flavor by regular old dry hopping.

    My 5.0cf Keezer Build

    Starting out the build of my keezer. I wanted something small that I could tuck into the laundry room, so that SWMBO would not banish it to the garage. After seeing Brew2it's https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cheapest-new-2-keg-keezer-224848/ and Heyjaffy's...

    Who else scored the cheap 7cf GE from HomeDepot/Walmart?

    From what I understand, the holiday and GE are the same freezer. Look exactly the same on the inside. Compared the GE 5.0 at Sam's Club and the Holiday at Lowes and couldn't spot a difference. I picked up the 5.0 Holiday at for $135 (family members employee discount) so I couldn't pass that up...

    New Redhook bottles

    I had a case of these mixed in with my bottles (love their Longhammer IPA). I had two bottles out of the twelve that did not carb up at all. No other problems with any other bottles. I have since thrown them out from the rest of my bottles. P.S. I use the red baron capper.

    That's some serious hot break!

    I'm guessing that pic reminded him of white dog crap and he was quoting the scene from Stepbrothers.

    cooler choice for diy mash tun

    I bought the cheap, red 48 qt cooler at walmart. No problems with heating water or off flavors from it. Also keeps mash temp great, hardly loses any heat. I also throw a beach towel over the lid since that's where you feel the most heat escape, so maybe that helps. Only problem I can think of is...

    Favorite Octoberfest

    Had a Karl Strauss oktoberfest a few years back at California adventure park in Disneyland. That was the best Okt I've ever had. I don't know if it had anything to do with being in Disneyland and drinking a beer overlooking the water at paradise pier or not :)

    You could also search on here for info on making a heatstick. Since using mine, I've cut my time it takes to come to boil down in half. Only cost about $30 to make

    "Hop Tea" method for adding aromatics

    I'm also thinking about trying this. I'm a new brewer (about 5-6 batches) and even the IPA and others I dryhopped did not have that hop flavor/aroma that I was looking for. As I'm typing this, I'm having a bomber of some local DIPA that has great resiny hop aroma and I said, "This is what I'm...

    Cheapest New 2 Keg Keezer

    Looking to get this freezer at Sams club. I'll probably be going with a tower setup. Do the two cornies, CO2 tank and 5 gal carboy fit under the original lid without a collar? From the pics on the first page it looks like they barely do. Thanks.

    Las Cruces, NM brewers ! ?

    I'm in Cruces. I'm not a member of that group but have checked out their site and know they are pretty active. They have a meeting and tasting and what not at least once a month. We also have a pretty decent HBS in town where you can get your essentials. I live outside of city limits and get...

    Repriming Already Bottled Beer

    The flat beer does taste great. Had a dud with my last IPA batch (I blame the red hook bottle.) Didn't cap properly, had zero carb. I thought to myself should I dump it? Hell no, I'm not wasting beer. Tasted good, actually thought the hop aroma was more pronounced if that makes sense.
