    Kegerator and fridge problems

    I have an outdoor mini fridge where I keep six packs and a kegerator. Both stopped getting cold recently. Then I noticed the backs freezing, and now they have both completely failed and are thawing out and not doing anything. When the backs were freezing I could hear the compressor, now...

    American Pale Ale Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale

    I used to have the same questions since I have an 8 g pot and do BIAB. I've done about 10 batches and have it down pretty well. I'm not too anal about volumes and my gravities aren't 100% spot on as a result, but I'm sure you could get them there. I basically heat about 6 to 6.5 g of water to...

    Show off your 2012 Hops garden!

    How long do the bottles stay filled with water? I'm going out of town for two weeks and in addition to my in ground plants that are on a drip system, I have two potted plants on my deck that I water by hand. I'm looking for a 2 week watering solution (other than getting the neighbor to come...

    Left to right hand thread converter?

    Following up on my earlier e-mail, Kegconnection is fixing the problem (which should result in some clarifying changes to their website). Kudos to them for owning the problem.

    Left to right hand thread converter?

    I just had the same problem happen to me with a kegconnection add a body. A little frustrated that they market this as a lefthand add a body when the high pressure guage can't screw back in. I might have to just buy a new righthand high pressure guage. Let me know if you found out another...

    Outdoor Kegerator - What Fridge to Use?

    I'm building a bbq island and intend on having a grill, an all purpose fridge and a dual tap kegerator. The pre-built kegerators are ridiculously expensive, plus a lot of them appear to be freestanding units, whereas mine is intended to be a built in. I'm handy enough to convert a refrigerator...

    Stuck lager fermentation or relax have a homebrew?

    quick update for those interested. I took another reading on saturday and got a 1.016 reading, so it went down a few more points. It tasted like a flat, slightly warm marzen so that was good too. I decided to still transfer over to keg even though I couldn't confirm it was done, since I was...

    BIAB bag sparge

    quick question on biab. i have a 32 quart boiling kettle, which i presume won't give me enough room for the water and grains (including grain absorbtion and assuming some higher gravity beers) needed to end up with a 5 gallon post boil volume (assuming i need roughly a 6.5-7 gallon pre-boil...

    Stuck lager fermentation or relax have a homebrew?

    not to be a topper, but my SWMBO 1) "made" me get directv so we could get the nfl ticket to watch her team and 2) put off a 5 yr anniversary trip to instead go to seattle to watch her team play the seahawks. i think we both have keepers. i might be able to sneak in a brewery tour in seattle...

    Stuck lager fermentation or relax have a homebrew?

    Thanks for the suggestion on the dry yeast. I'll have to try that. And Reno, apparently you are a mind reader. After the blue moon clone using 1056, or maybe I'll try a S-04 or nottingham (already have the extract that will work for this), I was planning on pitching a blonde onto the cake...

    Stuck lager fermentation or relax have a homebrew?

    Thanks for all of the replies. This forum always amazes. Based on the foregoing, I think I'll just sit and wait until next weekend and then take another reading just for knowledge purposes. If it's at 1.020 I'm still transfering to the keg and will begin lagering, and I'll just have a...

    Stuck lager fermentation or relax have a homebrew?

    Facts: NB oktoberfest extract kit, wyeast 2633 oktoberfest blend. SG 1.065. Pitched at around 56 with a 2 liter starter (I know, I know, but I didn't have the ability, time or vessel, for anything larger). Fermentation took off pretty quickly. Primary fermentation was at about 52. I...

    Corny Keg As Secondary Fermenter

    Hopefully I can revive this thread for a quick question that I haven't found an exact answer for (though a couple on this thread are close). I have my first lager in primary now and I was planning on racking to a corny this weekend (two weeks of primary) and then letting it lager for two...

    Blue Moon Clone

    Just realizing I said 6 lbs of late addition dme, when I meant LME. Don't know if that changes the answer. Prolly going to go with the suggestion of only 1 lb.

    Blue Moon Clone

    Great thread. I have a Northern Brewer Bavarian Hefeweizen extract kit I would like to convert into a BM-esque clone. This is brew no. 3 and the first one to stray from a kit, so I'm looking for a little help. It doesn't need to be a perfect clone, and I would like to use as many of my...

    Hefeweizen Help

    One thing I found frustrating about reading these threads were questions from a worried brewer followed by other users' answers and plenty of relax have a home brew comments, but then no final post from the original poster telling us how the beer actually came out. Well, here's the happy result...

    Hefeweizen Help

    First, this is my first post to any forum ever. I'm paranoid. Haven't subscribed to facebook, etc. Amazing part is that I'm halfway technologically savy. However, for the purposes of good brewing, I'm willing to break my streak. This forum has been extremely helpful in educating me on the...
