so does that look like gelatin to you all or am i in for something funky?

Nothin fancy, but she's my baby :

A simple solution i found at about the same price as a brita but much faster: Buy a prefilter housing~$25 then whichever carbon block fits the bill. You'll also need MPTx hose barb fittings to match whatever size tubing you want. Lastly, an adapter to fit your faucet or hose. Works just like...

I believe you're right about the 30 psi if you want to force carbonate quickly, though serving is usually closer to 10psi depending on serving tube length. Other people just keep the keg at serving pressure for a week or two before drinking and let the beer carbonate more slowly. it takes...

Grimsawyer- haha sorry, but thats my dremel case. The NES is on the left side of the closet botom shelf ;) .....no seriously. I was goin for a little bit of a retro look, but i dont remember the 80's too well... :D

I go to UC davis and am enrolled in the intro to brewery class for this coming fall. Sooo excited! That outside program looks really cool though, I'll have to ask my teacher about it.

bigkahuna- ya im pretty much set now! only thing that sucks is that I'm moving back home for summer soon so the keezer has to stay :( . But thats ok because im going to take all my equipment home and use the kegerator I made for my dad out of my old dorm room mini-fridge! it only fits one...

Thanks I'll check them out. I've actually been looking for something like that because I have very little woodworking experience. Glad you like the set-up. I didnt want to have to get up too far from the couch... ;)

No, I boiled just over 2 cups of water, then let it cool. After cooling, I added gelatin and heat slowly until dissolved. then I poured it down a sanitized funnel into the batch. Sound right? Just a note I opened up the carboy for a sniff and i didnt notice any off smells. just beer :)

Hey everyone, My first brew is just about ready to keg. So a day ago I added a tbsp of gelatin as per the instructions. my question is: shouldnt this stuff sink? I checked on the beer today and noticed snot-looking stuff floating at the top of the carboy. At first i panicked and thought it...

haha in the last pic you can see the only piece of furniture in the front of my place... an on sale target couch. Yay for college apatments!! :D

hey everyone, Just thought I would put up some pics of my new baby! Its pretty basic, just a used frigidaire freezer I got off of CL. I'm using a Ranco temp controller, it holds 3 kegs plus the tank on the hump. At most i think i can fit the 3 kegs, tank, and one carboy. For now i'm using...

brewwench has the right idea. I cant stand heat either, but i'm always down for some shower time fun!

MULE- im in the same boat man. It took me about 9 months to save up enough money to just get STARTED in this hobby. my first batch is just about to be kegged.....and im broke as sh!t now....but thats the price we pay.

simple hydrolysis "fuel cells" cannot produce enough H2 to be effective or efficient. let alone one made out of a 1L mason jar. my school has made experimental cars using much more advanced/complicated mechanisms, and they work, but still arent practical on a commercial scale. so ya, that jar...

Ranco and Love controllers are both good. some people use johnson controllers as well, all are accurate enough for brewing purposes. any of the three can control any freezer or fridge. Installation is pretty simple and usually all that is required is an extension cord cut in half and a maybe...

i think ranco or Love controllers are the most accurate/popular. I got my ranco single stage controller off of ebay. HTH

r2eng- your dead on that the parents are mainly responsible. but i still think he needs a good smack...or 99.

My mom would have killed me. Seriously i want to put that kids head through a wall....is that bad???
