I built a glycol fermenter from the design given in BYO's "25 great homebrew projects" issue. The design is to put the cooling coil of a window A/C unit into a glycol bath (I used RV antifreeze), and fountain pumps to circulate the cold glycol through copper tubing surrounding two fermenters...

I've been using a small Bayou Classic SP10 burner for a while, but recently switched to keggles to up my batch size. If you haven't tried it, balancing a keggle on the SP10 is a bit dicey, so I picked up the larger SQ14. Tried using for the first time, and in a moderately breezy day found it...

I've seen some conflicting advice on using these. One school of though indicates that you put it on some tube attached to the gas line, close up the keg, and slowly increase the pressure from a couple PSI up to your target by a PSI every minute or two. The other is similar, except that one...

I've brewed several Dunkels, with a similar basic recipe but when comparing against good commercial examples I've been underwhelmed by the aroma of the home brewed version. An appropriate amount (1/2 or 1 oz) of aroma hops at some point in the last 10 minutes seems the logical next try, but...
