This is my favorite keezer build! I am putting together the parts for a similar build with a black Kenmore 8.8 and using your build for inspiration. I have very limited wood working skills and was wondering what type of saw you used to mitre the 1x8 collar (it is a 1x8 right?)? Also, where did...

Very sweet build! Do you have a link for the sink and faucet?

Beardedirishman, That is a thing of beauty. I am working on something similar, but with 15-gallon Blichmanns. Could you post the dimensions of your frame for reference? I am concerned that with the smaller diameter kettles that I am using (12.8" for the 15-gallons) if I only make the frame...

Jon, could you share a little more as to how the cat-5 cable works? For instance, do you have to somehow split the cat-5 to control 3 pumps with one cable or is there some electronics piece that accomplishments this? Sorry for the newbie questions, but I have never wired anything in my life.

Jon, Love the simplicity of the system and would love to mimic it in a build of my own someday. Couple of questions: 1. How did you decide to go with the jet burners over Hurricanes or something similar? Were there any benefits with one over the other? 2. Can you show us some photos of...

And here I was mainly concerned with lead or some other kind of poisoning. I assumed that I had strained all of the glass out of it, but the images of some of these scenarios is a little scary. I think I am going to dump it and brew a new batch this weekend. This is going to hurt :(

While whirlpooling an all-grain IPA after the boil I inadvertently left the floating thermometer in. Once everything settled I noticed that the thermometer was floating on its side and that I had broken it. Looking closer I realized that I only broke the outside glass and did not actually...

Santero, when you get your stand together, please post. I am also doing my homework in order to build a brew stand and would love any info/local supplier information you can share.

Beautiful setup Jon! Are the gas solenoid valves adjustable or is it just full blast?

Thanks guys! That video was very helpful.

Thanks for the replies. So it sounds like two or three seperate 2L starters off of a stir plate and a 18-24 hour ferment and then crashed in the fridge would suffice. Decant the starter beer and pitch all of the slurry. What do you guys like to make starters in?

Just finished reading Jamil's piece on Maibocks in the new BYO. He suggests using a 15 liter starter for 5 gallons of wort with an OG 1.070. A quick check with Mr Malty suggests that this can be reduced to 6 or so liters with the use of a stir plate. Since I only have a 2000 ml flask that left...

This is definitely one of my favorites Any update on this one Michael?

Michael, I for one am looking forward to see your photos and read what you have learned. Lets check it out.

You might also check into shipping via Greyhound Bus. I understand from a friend who routinely ships furniture that you can save a few $$ on bulkier items. Just a thought.

Count me in!

I recently re-entered home brewing and purchased a beginners kit to get me started. This site has been indispensable. First batch went pretty well, with a few very minor issues. Its in the fermenter now. When I got ready to chill my boiled wort I noticed that the immersion chiller supplied with...
