For sometime I have wanted to build a portable keg system for 2 kegs. I say portable, but 2 kegs filled by themselves is over 80 pounds, so this thing all done was going to weigh 100+ pounds. The concept was to build a box that is holds water inside with a drain at the bottom and then insulate...

Brewed this last weekend (10 gallons). Gonna hit it with the dry hops soon.

+11 = 1576

I kegged 5 of 10 gallons this past weekend and took a pull last night just for grins. I used 4 blood oranges for 5 gallons. I zested and cut the fruit up and put them in 160 degree water for short period of time. I did not add the water to the carboy from steeping the fruit. I put the zest and...

I have about 3 years on my set of Shun Alton's Angles and really like them. Once properly sharpened they are good for close to a year or "normal" use. No regrets after shelling out the a$$ pounding price.

I run mine on 3/4" NG (standard brutus system with 3 wok burners 23 tip) and I ran a reinforced rubber hose with a quick disconnect. The disconnect is a bit on the pricey side but worth it in my opinion. My rig is hooked up easily 70 from the meter at the house and I have no problems with the...

Its only been 10 months since I started this project and its done! :eek: This is the 3rd revision and it finally has enough power. Started out with a belt drive with a double reduction gear box off of a 1/8HP motor. Soon as the grain hit the rollers it would stop the drive cold. Then came the...

Hey now wait! I am already using The Wetness!!! ;) Just kidding! Here it is being brewed...

I brew this recipe over the Labor Day weekend. Followed the recipe for the most part. I was out of cascades and used amarillos instead. Hit my OG and is fermenting away now. I'll post how low it actually gets. I did make a 2.2L starter with 2 vials of 002 and oxygenated the wort...

This is by far the best beer I have brewed and IMO is spot on with the real deal. I'm having a labor day brew party and possibly will have some cans of Furious to do a blind taste test. I did not deviate from the recipe to much...just substituted more Cascade for the Ahtanum since NB was out of...

I'm a huge fan of Founders Harvest Ale and Southern Tier's Harvest Ale. I would really like to get a clone of either of these and make it soon. I've been search the innarwebs for a Founders clone with no luck. Still in search of.... *Subscribed

Brewed this not once but twice in a row. Both 10gallon batches with White Labs Platinum 410 Belgian Wit II yeast. The other changes I made to the recipe are - white pepper instead of black, and the second batch I threw in 1 lime peel grated. The first batch is a touch young but is still delicious!!

MilwBeerGuy - being a short time brewer, long time consumer, I agree with all of these suggestions. I think both the class and discussion will help you with your palate. If you surround yourself with well educated folks who have gone through the same thing you are looking for, it will educate...
