I picked up a set of 4 single handle ball lock kegs from their store for $80 last week. This isn't a bad deal if your setup for pinlock but ball locks are more common. These are not reconditioned, might hold pressure but most likely will need at least a few new gaskets and cleaning (3 had soda...

You can throw your recipe into beersmith and have it do the calculation, they have a 3 week free trial on their website. The only change should be the amount of hops.

Good catch, I actually used photoshop's "healing" brush over the naughty bits so they were gone, then used the wording in positions that would have mostly covered them anyway. Even the wife approved (She wanted the beer).

100% google images, lol.

the Strawberry font is "28 days" and the ABV font is "Throw my hands up in the air" , both were free..

Just got into homebrewing and my first two batches are an Imperial Stout and Imperial Blonde... Waiting for them to be ready is a struggle but in the mean time I've created labels. Will probably keg them, but hold some bottles aside (Plan on labeling both).

I use a short interconnect on my Wort chilled that attaches to the house, no issue with the hose yesterday but today it was frozen. Had to pull out the torch to get the faucet running and move the pot to the side of the hose and connect the interconnect directly . The hose was a no go...

The one on craigslist is basically the same except is has a "Virtual Stainless" Door, vs Stainless Steel. Sam's has the SS, exact same model number as Ops post. Just got mine together and setup, very happy with it for under $200, now to find some cheap corny's in MI.

Might want to check your local Sam's club, this item is on close out. I picked up the last one at our Sams earlier today for $180.
