Put down a big chunk of masking tape over the area you plan on drilling, then use a punch to create a dimple so your drill bit doesn't want to walk. Then proceed with a holesaw bit or standard bit depending on size mentioned above.

I'm in

This sounds like a good start for me. It sounds like I can add to this system in the future, just need more of the same components and more vessels/pumps/connections? Or I can just stay biab with my current keggle if I'm content. I found the TD4 on amazon and I can get a box locally. But, is...

Gspot- A simple All-n-1 system sure has its appeal, esp cleaning and storage. Plus, like you, I'm brewing more than I'm drinking....I have 6 kegs and sometimes have to put off brewing because I know I won't have space for several weeks (bring on 1/2batch brewing) Paps- I can certainly...

I'd like to stop propane cooker brewing and go electric. But...the more I read on here, the more I realize I know nothing. Getting a heating element installed into my keggle is straightforward enough, but it's all the stuff between it and the wall outlet that losses me. Are there systems a guy...

Merry Christmas, me!

That's exactly what I did about a month ago to move my tank out of the fridge. I'm glad I did it this way. Yes I had to buy an extra line but it's worth it to do it right the first time.

When someone offers a deal on kits, I have no problem picking up a few. They turn out good and take less time to make, I also have no shame though.

My local Walmart sells it for $0.37/gallon. Or, you can buy jugs of it from them, 1-5 gallon containers.

I just brewed the ESB, but I screwed something up....Probably the water since I used all RO water. I have stuff for 3 other batches, once they're done I'll do the ESB again because I know it can be great if I do my part right. This winter when I can ferment a lager, I'll try both the Dunkel and...

Skip the 2nd fryer, buy a used 16gal keg off craigslist, cut the top off and add a drain valve. More capacity, no worries of boilers. Or.....buy both fryers AND the keg, brew multiple batches at once

I went ahead and kegged without, if I feel it's needing more flavor then I'll add a pound. I also promised the wife I'd make a honey beer soon, so maybe an American wheat is on the way and I'll try honey with it.

Well, as the title states....is it? I brewed a Dunkel and am now thinking of adding honey to the keg in hopes of getting some honey flavor. If so, how much for 5 gallons? Dump straight in or do something to it first?

That's exactly what I did on a batch I split just to experiment with different water. Split my grain evenly and did back-to-back brews. It may take you longer this way, but you won't have any capacity worries....boil over issues....and just lifting/moving that much wort wouldn't be fun.

I'm finally drinking my chocolate ale, one of my best yet. I went easy on the hops, . 3oz of magnum for 60, then. 2 and. 3oz of apollo at 10 and flameout. I think I'll try a wheat sometime with more apollo, but like I said earlier, I wanted more flavor from the grain....and the cocoa.
