    Just brewed 1st full-boil batch

    I use a Camp Chef dual burner range for my brewing (mine actually has Browning stickers on it). Some models come with a 30,000 BTU burner but, you can also upgrade it to 60,000 which does the job for me. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200317038_200317038...

    Cheap Temperature controller for freezer.

    Are you looking for cheap or inexpensive? I purchased an analog Johnson Controller at my LHBS for $63. If you are looking for something that will go to 30 degrees you might try setting the freezer to the warmest setting since you are actually looking for freezing temps.

    What are the pros/cons of this kegging setup?

    So if you are trying to keep costs down and not drill holes in existing fridges I would go with a something like this: http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=463 This is a single keg setup with a 5# bottle for $160. This has picnic taps just like I have and so there is no drilling...

    What are the pros/cons of this kegging setup?

    What issues do you have that this setup will resolve? I have a keezer and I did not drill any holes in it for my corny kegs. My initial reaction is: You will have to prime with sugar since the CO2 cartridges will not be a good choice to carb the beer. This is not expandable (stand alone...

    Good, light beer kit for summer consumption?

    I deleted the post since it does not make sense to recommend the AK47 pale mild.

    First Brew

    I am not in the mountains but I live in Buford which is the north a georgia part. Good luck with your first brew.

    HBT, help me decide please

    I voted for 2 Fox since it also seemed unique. I always thought the F-16 was the Fighting Falcon. Did not realize that it was referred to as the viper.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I am brewing a Cream Ale from an extract kit this weekend. I am happy since my new keg system is now up and running.

    4th Consecutive Undrinkable Batch - Please Help!

    I wonder if you might be able to get someone local who can brew with you and provide feedback in real-time.

    Source for 3 gallon keg

    Keg connection.com is also a place to get 3 gallon kegs.

    First Time Corny Kegging

    You will want to keep the co2 connected the whole time. The air is what pushes the beer out of the keg.

    First brew ideas?

    I use mostly Northern Brewer kits so I would say any of the best seller extract kits would be a starting point. Maybe the American amber ale or the cream ale.

    I LOVE Kegconnection

    When I ordered during their Christmas sale the equipment arrived without a notification email. The parts are high quality and if I add a third keg they will be who I order from. I think they are just slammed during the sales and sometimes do not communicate as well as they would like.

    Tired of bottling....quick question about kegs

    Not to sound to critical but where do you put 48 bottles of beer and the empties that you save? A mini fridge would not take up that much more room than that. I put my Keezer in the garage.

    Gallons per boil

    I do not think there will be any consequences.

    First brew almost done - tons of questions

    I am still doing extract brewing but I would suggest the freezer for kegs and the fridge or standup freezer for lagers. It could be tough to move buckets or carbons into a chest freezer. If you are handy you might be able to build a fermentation chamber with multiple chambers.

    How long in secondary

    Can you have beer in the secondary too long? I have been waiting on my chest freezer to arrive and my American Amber Ale has been in secondary for several weeks.

    Chest freezer - a dumb question

    I would imagine that the fermentation would not produce enough pressure to worry about. You could always lift the lid every couple of days.
