    Homemade beer stand

    I wish that I was better at welding but it was a fun project. I have a few touch up to do and I also have to add the burners to the top and bottom levels. While I left it so that when I sparge into my brew pot it will have to sit on the ground. Then I'll move it to the bottom level and begin...

    Homemade beer stand

    So I was looking at all the great idea's on here about making a stand and being that I don't have all the tools to create most of them I gathered enough information and came up with my own idea. Went to Northern Tool and picked up a $30 hand truck. Stopped by the pawn shop and got a sweet deal...

    Brand new 5gal Kegs

    It looks like everything is the same as a regular corny keg to me except for the lid. The same o-rings should work for the lid and posts. The shape of the lid is just more round and not rectangular. I have beer in both if mine for about three weeks now and I am happy I have them. Will buy two...

    question

    Wouldn't hurt as far as what I have read up on. Seems to me that a majority of brewers may let it sit for about a month in the primary before moving it. So a total of three weeks may help finish the fermintation. Good luck.

    Brand new 5gal Kegs

    My Kegco kegs do NOT look like that picture in the link but they didn't post enough pictures to be able to tell. I think they are different company's. Similar but not the same. My Coke kegs measure at 22 1/4 inches tall while the Kegco ones I posted earlier are at 24.5 inches tall. The...

    Brand new 5gal Kegs

    I received my two kegs and I agree with Jeffd10.....they are great! They need a really good cleaning as they are dirty as heck. I have compared the these with the old coke kegs and they are a few inches taller. The dip tube is longer due to this and the ball locks are exchangeable. If I were...

    Brand new 5gal Kegs

    I hope you mean cheap as in $$$$ and not quality. The top and bottom dont have any plastic or rubber protection so i would think they would be lighter then others. I like knowing that it has not had who knows what inside of it and saved me a bunch of dough. Looking forward to getting them...

    Brand new 5gal Kegs

    That's what I would hope for however I figured if there was to much pressure then it would force the beer right out when it was depressed. Guess I could test it with water prior with extra pressure just to get it right. Should have the two new ones next week.

    Brand new 5gal Kegs

    I agree with ya about as long as it fills my glass however my lids don't have a release valve....If the pressure is accidentally to high I am going to have issues constantly removing the gas line and trying to release the pressure through the poppet valve. Sounds to me like it will be messy. A...

    Brewers Best Belgian Tripel aging questions

    @ Smagee - How hot did it ferment? The first day I put into primary I was unable to cool it down enough and it stayed at 80 degrees. The second night/third morning it was down to 73/74 steady. Hopefully this will be ok. I can just know start to smell alcohol from the airlock and the brew...

    Brewers Best Belgian Tripel aging questions

    I have picked up a Brewers Best Belgian Triple kit the other day and have been reading up on aging it. I have a few questions.... The kit instructions say that you can drink it in five weeks or so. A lot of experienced brewers have said that they let it age for at least 9 months. Has anyone...
