The brewing equipment has been sold. The Kegerator Kit is still avaliable.

it will cool 10gal boil to 90 deg in about 10min with steady stirring.

I am having to sell off all my beer stuff. I will not ship this stuff so you will have to come pick it up in the Raleigh, NC area. I did have to use a stock pic for my kettle because it's actually stored in my buddies garage at the moment. I can get a real pic if its a deal breaker for you, but...

Anyone had any luck using a lager yeast and fermenting at Lager temps? Just curious if I would produce a crisper and clearer result. cheers!

While at AB the guy told me to simply prepare the porter kit as normal, and after fermentation to add cocoa powder and cold brewed coffee to the beer, then keg. gonna brew tomorrow and will let ya know in a few weeks how it turns out. thanks for your advice.

Yes I shop at AB in Raleigh. Not sure which steeping grains they have in their porter kit but that is what I have been using in the past. I did not realize they had chocolate LME. I though they only had light, amber, dark, ect... Maybe I'll give that a try this goround. Thanks.

Here are photos of my homemade custom kegerator project as it unfolds.

thanks Mick, Im not that worried about clarity, so I'm just gonna leave it in the primary till my kegerator is ready. Thanks!

I have been bottleing by brews so far. I am going to be making a kegerator in the next two weeks. (or as soon as I get it back from the custom paint shop) with that being said, I also have a cream ale that has been sitting in the primary for almost 4 weeks now. It stopped fermenting 2 weeks ago...
