I have a fermentation chamber with a heat source because my basement was generally 60 or below. I recently put together a kegerator so that and my being down there more often have raised the temp. Any good ideas on how to get some of the cold air from the fridge/freezer (it's a side by side)...

Thanks for the help!

Goooood morning everyone! I'm getting ready to go for my first biab and I have a few questions I'm having trouble locating the answers to. 1. Is a 5 gallon paint strainer big enough to hold all the grains for a typical ipa? 2. Will I be able to do a full volume mash in my 10 gallon...

Big ass bucket of ice? Aside from that, there are smaller kegs that would fit in the fridge. I can't see kegging warm just to bottle though. Seems like an extra step. What about a jockey box?

I would like to trade some heady topper for the following. Pin lock disconnects, liquid and gas side, barbed Tap handles drip tray maybe some interesting glasses as well. Prefer snifters, tulips and teku style please let me know what you've got! thank you

Thank you for the help!

That's right. The nut on the left is where I was hoping to be able to add another check valve/shut off.

Hi everybody! I have a 2 way distributor and it has a nut in the side that looks like it's there to plug a 3rd hole. Does anyone know if I can use that as a third gas out line to add one more faucet to my setup? Thank you!

I've had it a couple times and I wouldn't say it sucked but I wouldn't go out of my way to get. There is or was a pretty good sized hype about it and it definitely wasn't all it's made out to be. The same is true for pliny. I was more underwhelmed with that than I was with zombie dust. At least...

I do full volume boils. I didn't even think about boiling off dms though...

I understand that you can't just boil hops, so instead of adding half of the extract at the beginning of the boil, could you just add the table or corn sugar. Then add all of your extract at the end of the boil for a bit lighter color in the finished beer? I guess another question would be...

Perfect! Thank you all for the help!

Hmmm...not sure why those pictures are sideways

It's a converted fridge.

Hi all, I'm going through my first kegs in my freshly setup kegerator and my ipa is starting to foam up a lot on the first pour. It wasn't doing that for the first half or so of the keg. I can pour another directly after that's nearly normal. Any thoughts as to what is going on there...
