I've thought about doing that! If I ever come across an old free/cheap keyboard I will take it apart to determine just how feasible that would be. As suggested in a previous comment, check out craigslist for old pianos. That's where I got this one many years ago and it was completely...

I have to take the top piece off the piano (it's not attached anymore), pull the front piece forward and then open the hinged cold box lid. Maneuvering the full kegs around all the hoses is a bit of challenge due to the limited space but still manageable. The trickier part will be when i have...

LOL! I thought about that. I could possibly disassemble an electronic keyboard and hook it up to work. THEN, force a tune to be played to unlock the taps like when Willy Wonka enters the chocolate room. :-) Phase 2!

Awesome, thanks for the advice! I'll go with your suggestion of not boiling down a pot of coffee. I'll just toss in 1lb of good beans, 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract, and 8oz of lactose to the secondary. The other ingredients I was thinking of last night are Kahlua or the Nestle coffee...

Hey fellow brewers, Extreme n00b here... just brewed my second beer, Brewer's Best Milk Stout. Except for a minor boilover, all went well. I definitely corrected a few mistakes I made during my first brew. Anyway... to the point! I want to add ingredients to my stout when I rack to...
