This was also my first full-boil brew. I've done half a dozen stove-top, partial boil extract brews, and a couple of them turned out decent (red ale compared to Killian's, pale ale compared to a less-hoppy SNPA). I've got about 67lbs of grain and 6lbs of hops left to experiment with. If I can...

Thanks guys. I've been on here for a while now, and I've been soaking stuff up like a sponge. I'm glad to hear that I did decent for my first all-grain go-round. I am doing BIAB because I am on a pretty tight budget. I've had this keg for almost 6 months now, and the propane burner for 3 months...

So last Sunday morning I finally got to use my new keggle (BIAB) and propane burner for the first time. I decided that for my first few all-grain batches, I'm going to keep things simple. I'm going to do SMaSH recipes to keep the process easy while I'm learning how to do all-grain. Anyways...

Every time I click your thread, I get more jealous of your brewing space... I wish I could get a set up like that in my basement! I do have a fermentation chamber that I finished last weekend, and put my first ever all-grain pale ale into last Sunday. Its working flawlessly with one of the same...

I did end up adding a fuse in line in my wiring. I think it was a 15amp slow-blow fuse? I actually have this up and running now on my DIY fermentation chamber. Its working perfectly. I ended up using a diagram from Revvy (I think). I have 3 dual outlets hooked up. 1 dual outlet is for cooling...

Huaco, you used the original openings of the kegs as tri-clover drain fittings that run through the top of the table, yes? Trying to remember back when you were doing your build thread...

Hell, the crawlspace in my last house was 34" high at the tallest point. There were several area's where it was as low as 16". You're crawlspace has a higher ceiling in some places than my basement (7.5 feet)!

I had several Abita Brewing beers Friday night (a pale ale and their Jockamo IPA), and had 3 Founders Centennial IPA's last night. I'm really starting to like the Founders beers.

Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. I think I'm starting to become a hop head...

Seriously though, I like the simplicity. Just a foam insulation box with some temp control. No need to get more complicated than that if you don't want or need to. Let us know how it works out.

That's a nice pink hot box you have there.

Could you PM me a price to ship two of them to 40299? Also, these are US sanke taps, correct?

Apparently my mini-fridge is an old GE ~4cu.ft. It was manufactured right here in Louisville in October, 1992. So this little mini-fridge is 20 years old next week, and still runs good and cold!

Sorry :p I don't remember the make off the top of my head. I will check when I get home. I had bought another mini-fridge off craigslist, where I had pointedly asked if it had the coils on the back, and was told yes. When I got there, there were no coils on the back. The compressor was, and...

Here's a couple pics of the mini-fridge I'm using.

Maybe add a drain valve so that you can remove some of the water and add more ice to get the temp even lower? Looks nice.

I have gutted the mini-fridge. I got one with the coils on the back, rather than embedded in the walls. This way, I just have to mount the coils on the side panel of the chamber, the compressor on that little ledge at the bottom, and the cooling coil goes through the side into the chamber...

Thanks! I've got about $200 in it so far (although that includes $100 for buying TWO additional mini-fridges after the first -free- one sprang a coolant leak). It actually looks a lot nicer in person than that hasty photo suggests. Its a very nice rubbed cherry stain. I've taken on the mind set...

Its not done yet, but will be soon if I can get any time to work on it the rest of this week/weekend. Dimensions are 4 feet long, 2 feet deep, and 3 feet tall (outside dimensions).
