So about 18 months ago I build my keezer from a GE chest freezer. I attached a collar with 2x4 red oak. Since then, i have been trying to come up with a way to attach my drip tray (which is a 19x4 stainless steel tray) so that it looks nice and is easily removable. I don't want to drill into the...

So it took a lot of trial and error, but it turned out several leaks started up quite a bit after I had started the gas system up in the first place. One on each keg, and one off of the distributor itself. It's weird, because when I opened everything up originally and checked it, there were no...

Do I need to purge whatever got in there now before I do that? Temperature right now is around 38 F, but I can move it down lower for carbing if that will help.

Sorry, I should have been more precise. The two that had kegs were put straight down, to open, the other two, straight left, for closed.

I thought so, which is why I switched everything to straight down towards the lines. Then I ended up with beer that isn't carbed and an empty tank.

It was actually closed by that point. Should have mentioned that too. Sorry.

OK HBT, I need some help, and pretty badly. I just kegged beers for the first time on Sunday. I had a full, brand new CO2 tank connected to a Governor regulator, which was going to a 4 way distributor. Two ball lock kegs which were connected to that via quick connects. Here's the setup: Now...

So here is the collar both before and after the staining. I ended up going with 1x6 red oak, because the miter couldn't get through a 1x8 and a 2x6 was way too expensive. I used Kona colored stain, two coats, and I love the way it looks. I'll be installing this hopefully tomorrow or Saturday.

Thanks for the advice. Once I get to cutting and putting things together I'll let you know how it goes.

So the thing I worry about with a 1x6 is that I bought my shanks specifically with the 2x6 in mind. I feel like they will be way too long and dangling if I switch the thickness of the board. I think I'll probably take the advice to go with the butt joints in the back where they won't be seen...

I need a little advice and assistance. I'm building a collar for a keezer which I'm putting together. The freezer is the GE 7.0 Cu. Ft. FCM7SHWW. I'm planning on using 2x6's for the collar. Now, I should note that while I'm handy in lots of ways around the house, woodworking isn't something I...

Anyone know of any online resources where I might find this by chance?

I have been brewing with aluminum kettles for a couple of years now, and I really like them. The price was great and I've had zero issues with them. These days I'm trying to come up with anything that will make my brew day a little faster and easier on my body, while also improving the beer. One...

So next weekend I'm planning on brewing a stout with my brother-in-law who is just starting to get into brewing. He's done a couple of batches with me before and he has enjoyed it and now wants to get more adventurous. He's a big stout fan, and mentioned that he had picked up some oak spirals...

I've used this on a Citra and Zythos IPA I made. I fermented at 63° and I found it really intensified the citrus notes in the beer. I'm definitely a fan.

I made a modified version of this this past weekend with my brother-in-law. We made a 5-gallon batch. Recipe was: 9 lbs. Polish wildflower honey (came from my wife's grandparents farm in Poland) 5 lbs. of clover honey 3 oranges sliced 3 sticks of cinnamon Wyeast Sweet Mead yeast I'll...
