    Insignia 5.0cu on sale for $139!

    Yes, lower section measures 15-1/2" X 14-1/2". You could make up a cardboard template that size and see if the footprint of your kegs will fit in it. I'm going to put up a post about the build with some pics now...

    Insignia 5.0cu on sale for $139!

    I don't know about your sixtel question, but it will fit two Corny Kegs (standing upright) in the lower section, and another standing upright on the compressor hump with the 2X8 collar I just built. Build thread to come... I just looked up keg dimensions and it looks like a sixtel is only a...

    Hair like things in bottles, is it an infection?

    Are you bottling beer in plastic bottles?

    5-gal kits as BIAB?

    Newbie BIAB Guy here. (I’ve done a couple of extract kits, so looking to expand to BIAB) Here’s the question... I see that Northern Brewer sells (3-gallon) “BIAB-Kits”, and regular (5-gallon) “All-Grain” kits. Is it possible to use a 5gal all-grain kit as BIAB? (I’ve got a 9-gal pot of that...

    Condensation, condensation, condensation

    I don't mean to state the obvious, but what's happening is that steam is getting sucked up the vent hood and cooling enough to condense before it gets outside. Anything you can do to insulate the the hood or, more importantly, the ducting up into the attic will help immensely. I think they...

    Best way to attach wood to Keezer?

    I just picked up a 5.0cu-ft chest freezer as a start for my Keezer project. I'm curious what you have found as the best way to attach wood to the outside of the freezer without causing an overheating condition? I did some searching of old posts on the forum, and found some threads, but many...

    Questions about extract kits

    I have a question that I've always wondered about. Keep in mind, I'm very GREEN on this hobby, so don't judge me for "dumb questions". LOL Anyway, my question revolves around the directions that came with the Northern Brewer kits that I've brewed so far. All three of the kits I've used...

    Groomsmen gifts

    If you're the "crafty" type, you could use different bottles of "spirits" depending on your grooomsmen's likes to deliver the message. The bottles would have the original labels removed and a custom label made with whatever message needed to be delivered. It's kind of neat to see the...

    First Keezer Build Arctic King 5cu ft

    So that's 23" to the top of the 2X4? I just measured my corney's and they are right at 25" tall. If your measurement is WITH the 2X4, then a 2X6 might work, but it would be "right there" and there would probably be issues if the lid drops down past the gasket. If that's the case, a 2X8...

    First Keezer Build Arctic King 5cu ft

    Great build. Is that a shorter keg on the compressor shelf? If so, will a standard corney fit there with the collar?

    Frigidair 8.7 cf FFFC09M1RW keezer build

    Dave- This build is "on point"! If you don't mind me asking, what would be your estimate for a final build cost? I'm only asking because I don't have a Keezer. I see the prices of the freezers for sale locally, but there is a lot more into it than that. (wood, fittings, tubing, taps, etc)...

    Newbie Keezer build questions

    I'm new to the whole homebrewing thing. I jumped in with both feet and picked up a couple corney kegs off CL for my first batches. Noticing that our "extra" basement fridge is now full of kegs and CO2, it may be time to start looking at a keezer build to free up that "pop/wine fridge"...

    Why are so many keezer faucets placed off center?

    My inner OCD wants to know... Where did you get those hang tags you put on your kegs? Those are really sweet!

    Bourbon County Stout clone attempt

    If you drink that bottle of Maker's Mark when you're done soaking that oak, you certainly won't need a cigar to go with it! :)

    Setting up my Brew Cave. New guy doesn't have a clue!!!

    We're making alcohol.... Looks like right around 5%. Just waiting a couple days to take another reading that's hopefully steady, then it goes to cold crash, then keg.

    Question about taking final gravity samples...

    Thanks for this! I think I'm just about a week and and a half too early, so I'll just hold off and be patient. When you're a beginner, patience is in low supply. LOL!
