I have 2 of these and they work great. Just plug it into the wall and then plug the kegerator right into it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002EAL58/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

I feel like I have a similar issue, if this is even considered an issue. The head just seems to kind of clump together, it's not really a huge deal but it just seems odd to me. Did you use headwaters yeast?

How are you liking this keg? Any updates? I'm thinking about buying one and I haven't been able to find any reviews on it.

I recently switched my beer lines to around 8.5ft (I would have gotten 10 but the websites wording made it sound like 8 was the max they could cut) and I get a great pour. Most people go with 10 to avoid having to tinker around with finding the right length. I'm pretty sure there's a calculator...

By weird I really just mean interesting because I think this hops are all very interesting on their own so I would like to brew a big ipa using many of them together I just can't decide which ones and the best hopping schedule to use to make them work well together. Thank you for the input on...

So I just placed an order with enough grains to brew two beers and a ton of hops, the first beer I'm brewing is a single hop Nelson Sauvin IPA then I was planning on making a double IPA and pitching it onto the yeast cake of the first beer (from what I've read on this forum this is ok). As far...

Thank you I'll check them out

Where did you find these hops? I am interested in making a pale ale with them.

I have the penrose and I love it, i use a 25' ic and it works fine. It's a great deal for the price.

How did this kit turn out? I plan on brewing it tomorrow and I was thinking about dry hopping it with .5oz of Amarillo I have laying around, any thoughts?

FYI Midwest Supplies is having a sale on giftcards until the 25th. You can get a $110 giftcard for $100, I bought 3 of them to help pay for the kegging system I'm planning on buying.

I havn't used whole hops yet so i wouldn't know for sure but i have read posts on other threads that said the bazooka screen works well with whole hops.

I use a bazooka screen and i also put my hops in a large tea infuser that i found on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00195X59I/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
