I'm looking to the forums for some help. I brewed a Raspberry wheat for a wine mixer. I'm not a fan of wine, wanted to bring some beer, but also wanted to stay in the spirit of things. The beer turned out okay. Good raspberry flavor, a little tart (which is fine with me), but it was lacking...

I recently got a 2.5 gal corny and I'm looking to do my first transfer from a 5 gal corny. I've read up on the forums about the jumper method, but my question is: How do you know when the 2.5 gal corny is full? Checking with my fingers to see if its cold won't work because I plan on...

I'm trying to refine my process. I'm using a 10 gal round cooler with a SS false bottom. When I collect the first runoff I see quite a bit of grain in the first 2 pitchers. It cleans up but I'm still getting some grain husks and small particles in my boil. I've never noticed any off flavors but...

A couple of more additions... it never ends.... Since the keezer is in the garage i wanted to keep bugs out so I got some faucet caps. The SWMBO filled out the chalkboard for me (hobby lobby on sale for $5). I have a dartboard on the other side of the garage so I added a shelf as a place to...

fruits of labor!

finally done! Got the faucets friday and installed everything. I put a foam "camper" insulation around the inside along with with weather stripping on the bottom, then I put the collar on. It was a nice snug fit, no need to attach. I finally taped the inside with some shur-lock tape i had...

Spent the last two days sanding, staining and applying two coats of poly. Faucets and shanks came in today. I checked the fit and 7/8" was the perfect hole size. I plan on adding a insulated tape on the interior and installing tonight. I should be able to enjoy my first beer out of my new...

Update: I didn't get to much done last night. I'm training for a half marathon so I had get a run in. I got the shank holes drilled and sanded exterior down to 220 grit for a nice smooth finish. I went with a 7/8" hole which was the general consensus on the forums. The faucets and shanks...
