I personally wasn't thrilled with the batch that I made. I had tasted it a few days into primary and it was really good but as it fermented out alot of the tea flavor I was looking for seemed to get scrubbed away and I was left with a really winey tasting beverage. I wasn't really diggin the...

Yep... I'd never seen one like it before either. Like I said, free on craigslist. It was very apparent when I picked it up that it had previously been used for fishing bait. Oh well, nothing a little bleach and some elbow grease couldn't take care of! Thanks! _

So I've figured out that the gas side is 1/8" NPT. At first I was looking around for reducers but then I though maybe there was a more simple solution... I don't necessarily need them to be corny gas posts but I'd like to have a post that will hold pressure when disconnected from the keg. At...

So I got my kegs today. Took some photos of the gas post. If somebody could tell me what this connection is so I can get a disconnect to get these working I would appreciate it! _

I don't think Malt extract is out of place in a hard tea recipe... I taste my wort when I'm brewing and I think it actually taste quite a bit like tea & as RodfatherX pointed out, most (if not all) commercial versions of these are malt beverages. I probably would have used more extract if I...

I've been looking around the net for a Hard Tea recipe as well... found very little useful info so I decided to just give it a whirl. My recipe • 1 box tea bags (100ct) • 1 lb Light DME • 3.5 lbs Corn Sugar • 2 lbs Table Sugar • 6 Lemons, cut in half • Red...

Got this bad boy for free on craigslist... Here it is after the conversion. Stout faucet in the center, a hole drilled (and plugged at the moment) on either side waiting for standard faucets... Fits 3 cornys and up to a 20# tank. Thinking I could do 5# tank each of co2 and beer...

Nice. I dig that little setup... I'll probably use them more for taking along to a buddy's house instead of filling a growler. So, anybody have any idea what kind of connection is on the gas side? I just got the tracking number for them and I have a week until they arrive. I'd like to get the...

Honestly didn't think I'd win them both...but I've never seen these before, and wasn't sure that I'd ever see them again so... What will I need to connect my co2 tank to these? _

Just bought two of these on ebay. Nice portable little 8 pint containers. Has anyone here ever seen 1 gallon kegs before? The auctions said that they are coke tanks, but the liquid side looks like a ball-lock. As for the gas side... I don't know what kind of connections that is. Hoping...

I used one in the Fall/Winter for my ales as my basement gets well below ideal temps. I like it, allows me to keep my fermenter in the basement rather than sitting in the living room/office/etc... I actually use it with one of THESE. Gives a good amount of control over ferment temps on the cheap...

This is my first post so first off I'd like to thank everyone for all the help I've gotten from lurking around this forum...:mug: I am thinking about purchasing this fridge (second hand) to convert into a kegerator... It's a steal at $75 but I'm wondering if anybody has converted one of...
