Really no way to price it honestly... I have about $1500 invested in everything including all the hardware, kegs, tanks, wood, tile, epoxy, led lighting, casters... etc... it's a unique piece that took a lot of time to build. So again... All serious cash or trade offers considered. :)

The time has come for me to part with my keezer. It is a custom built, poplar hardwood, walnut stained show piece that would be the pride of any man cave or bar. It is mobile (It sits on a platform with 12 large casters), and separates in sections for easy transport. The front is built with lime...

Yeah... I was most concerned with issues related to taste, particularlywhen dealing with add-ins like orange. :)

Cool. Thanks! First time trying this. Where can I get some glycerin for storing in the freezer?

So I racked a holiday ale into secondary today, and decided to save my yeast cake in a mason jar out of the primary. I just filtered the cake through a strainer to keep out the add-ins (orange peel mostly) I am planning on brewing another batch of the same brew. My question was, can I use the...

Meant "70-80 degree wort".

Are you using a wort chiller? If so, 70-80 degree water isnt going to bust your glass fermenter. :)

Also... I found myself getting frustrated with some of the kit instructions when I first started because some kits had more specific instructions than others. After my first few batches, I began to experiment a bit and realized that there are a small number of things thst were very important...

Sanitize, not sterilize. It isn't surgery, it is beer. Sanitizing your brew water seems like a real waste of time and sanitizer to me... It all gets boiled anyhow. Not sure about off flavors either.

I've brewed 10 batches using this tube. I think I might take eastoak's advice and pick up some more tubing. Why take the risk? :)

I have been brewing for about 1 year, and i noticed awhile ago that i was starting to get spots on my tubing and thief. I havent noticed any issues with any of my brews, but thought i would post to see if anyone else has this problem and if so, what they did to resolve it?
