Its not pretty but for a free Craigslist fridge and a college student budget, i now have a working Kegerator with and IPA I brewed on tap! My baby is alive and pouring :) Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks all for your help, but I feel like I should just assume the best at this point. 5 days of constant temp seems to mean its either ok, or the smallest hole haha. Time to open up the top and make a tower. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

It is producing cold atm, but it sounds different now is all. Kinda gurgling. Does reach the correct temp and has been there for 4 days though Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I got a mini fridge with a freezer in it over the weekend and I bent the frame back. I was wondering how fast breaking the line would have bricked it, like, is it fine now that it is still cooling 4 days later? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Made a berry mead by dry fermenting a traditional and then racking it onto some thawed frozen mixed berries. Bottled it into a large wine bottle with a zork, and then this: Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Haha i actually got it in a thrift shop in Scotland soooo, that doesn't help you much hahaha. It was a great find though, even has my name on it already! I would check the internet, you can fine anything there i hear ;P Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Finished my braggot last week and bottle conditioned it, just opened one to see if the conditioning worked. Tastes like a sweet light beer. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Honestly? It tastes pretty good already. Kinda a sweet but sour taste. Its odd for sure though haha

I followed the milk mead recipe that is a different thread. Used lactose free milk and it curdled really fast. No smell or anything. Just racked into secondary, been only one week. Trying to make cheese from the curds now ha. This is it after racking off the curds

Got two going now, a milk mead and a coffee I'm doing as an experiment. Coffee is in secondary (yes, in an empty Kraken bottle) and milk is 6 days into primary. The giant mason jar is sake I am messing with.

I only ever had this much! Only container I had to use was an empty Kraken bottle I have been using for small experiments.

Started it about 2 months ago? A little more? I think mid December though I don't remember off the top of my head. It was a fast mead though, and it came out tasting amazing.

Jalapeño mead using DisturbdChemist's recipe, pretty amazing, though I only have 4 beer bottle's worth

I just put a little bit of cane sugar at the bottle f the bottle and let it sit. Didn't have anything fancy when i started so its been a lot of using random stuff i had around, primary was in an empty kraken handle.

It tastes really good, even though it is very young. Only have a small batch of it so it probably wont age much haha. Good hint of apple though
