Man, this is some good news! Count me in. Excited to go to the first meeting.

The only "cons" I see is not being able to use a thermowell (unless you use a different stopper and airlock) or a heating wrap. These would only be cons depending on your brewing setup. Plus, would you still have to put a T-shirt or bag on this thing to keep light out? Or, would that plastic...

Just wanted to bump this thread again. So, when and where is the next meeting?

Gents, How is the club going? I noticed there hasn't been a post in awhile. I am moving to the Marietta area this month and would like to get involved in the local club. I've only been brewing for a little over a year and, I am by far still a novice in the hobby. So, I need all the help I can...

First batch in my new keggle tonight! Plus, going to get to use my new corny kegs in couple weeks. Brewing up a blonde ale...aka "Suck It, Santa Anna! Ale". Yeah, i'm a Texan. lol

Palm to the forehead! LOL! That did the trick, draining completely now.:rockin:

Ok guys help me out... I got a keg the other day and I've been working hard to make a nice keggle. Got her all shined up and went with a weldless fitting for the ball valve. I purchased the SS 90 degree drain tube from bargainfittings and installed on the inside (3/8 "). I got about 1/4 to...

I am about to purchase a chest freezer to jump into the lagger game. How many 6.5 gal carboys can fit into a 5 cu. ft. chest freezer? I'm looking to get at least two in at once so, I should I go to a 9 cu. ft.?

So, I took Border's suggestion and constructed my wort filter for inside my boil kettle. One Scott's SS Lint Trap (no ball lint traps in Lowes or HD but, found this at ACE's), 1/2" copper terminal trap that comes with a perfect 90 degree bend (just cut both ends to fit), one SS clamp and a...

The damn lint trap idea is Genius Border! I will definetly look at that for a short to long term application!

Thanks! Looks like a good DIY project. Plus, is there any other market setups like the bazooka?

So, i'm upgrading my SS kettle to incorporate a SS valve assembly. But, being a noob I forgot that I would have to have a filter/catch screen so I don't crap up my CFC. I know Midwest has the "Bazooka" but, I was wondering if there were any other options out there and if y'all have any pros or...
