Having just purchased my Spike kettles I am going to have to buy some "interim" fermenter until the conical gets released. Hurry up boys!

I use a 75qt Coleman extreme.. I fly sparge.. no problems. I built a manifold to do it of course.. I might be brewing soon and can take pictures once I dig out the brew setup. Essentially I built a copper manifold with little holes that sits across the length of the cooler.. slow drips.. never...

Someone said I had to post in here.. so I am.. I hate the power of suggestion, damn you Chumprock. If you remember the festival well then it wasn't that good.. just a point. Okay, so yea, clearly I am from Rochester.. been here awhile.. best homebrew forum out there IMO. I'm a busy person so...

So you have a keggle and an inefficient cooler. I'd make small changes as necessary and move on up to a Coleman Xtreme. Mine is great. Next, I'd get a second burner. Then I would brew 10 gallons and you'll love just how much beer you have for the same amount of work :) But as the...

Gordie - as you know I'm following these words heavily. Nice to see you're form Buffalo, grew up in the Lincoln Park area myself. One of us moved farther away! There's a lot of love in this thread. It's awesome. It's most assuredly the way I am heading now. Of course NY and CA are...

All I know is that I've read a ton of books and they all do it the same way. Clearly if you are not following my process you are doing it wrong! :) I've used a secondary almost all the time. I do this because I have extra cleaner and sanitizer around and frankly since I do an extra transfer...

I put a sink in my garage too. Luckily my garage is under my house so I just put it in back to back with the utility sink in my laundry room and split every connection including the drain. It was a bit of a hassle to get the gravity right but I finally did. One suggestion, make sure the sink...

I'll have to see what happens. I'm nowhere near ready for prime time yet. Still have a lot going on with work and school (MBA) and two kids. Still, I have the support of those who matter, now it's just a matter of getting building up to that smaller scale. I do have the luxury of potentially...

So curiously.. how did you get your beer in the door? Just asked them to try it or did you know people?

I think you mean the same thing on force carbonation and carbonation by CO2. Technically bottle conditioning is still carbonating by CO2. Kegging is simple once you figure out the parameters involved. Unless you get elaborate with individual regulators you are most likely going to have a...

Gordie - thanks. I've looked at the NY documents and will be speaking to a few other people. Right now location would be the biggest hassle. I've got time but figured I should get into looking now so I can be better prepared. I'll be following you on Twitter to see what you come up with...

Awhile back I picked up a SS food service prep table from a local deli that was closing. It's my brew cart, my table, and pretty much everything else. I simply spray some Star-San every once in awhile and worry about other things. I have a spray bottle I prep for a brew day and I'll just...

A little late this time but I am following now. Very curious how you went through setting everything up in regards to licensing, etc.

Those aren't pigtails...:ban:

I suppose I could, if the shelves can be arranged in such a way to fit everything. Most comments I've seen on uprights is that the shelves don't come out. If they do then I have a plethora of choices here. Is there any way to tell? I just need to find something that will house all the carboys.
