I didn't know that's what it was called but looking at a wiring diagram for one that sure is what it is.

I use a bilge fan to blow the air from the bottom up into my coffin box (it's a keezer rather than a kegerator). The advantage to this type of fan is that it's designed to run in a damper environment than a PC fan. Also it's a lot more powerful and therefore better able to push the air. I...

Yeah, I'm looking to do something similar for my electric keggle. Very eager to see the end result.

Cool. thanks for the info.

OK, getting started brewing bigger batches. Going from standard 5 gallon to 10 or 15 gallon batches. My question is this: Do I need more yeast? I generally use an appropriate Wyeast pack. But to my line of thinking as long as the yeast is there it will continue to multiply until the "food"...

I am not a NEW brewer per se, been doing this for about 6 or 7 months, but I am going to start brewing bigger batches now. I just picked up 5 half barrel kegs. I know I'm going to turn one into a keggle but I'm curious if I could designate one as a primary and another as a secondary? Or do I...

I didn't buy the ball lock, but their used pin lock kegs weren't much more so I picked up four of those. That should cover me for the forseeable future.

That makes sense. I only planted mine a week or so ago, so they aren't up yet. Just wanted to make sure that if I had to do more digging I did it sooner than later.

My biggest question at this point is how did you plant the eye hooks in the ground? Are they just sort of buried or did you sink them into a wood plank and bury it?

Ohh, I like the look of this. I am definitely going to appropriate that system.

I'm in no rush. I mean I am, but only in that eager to get it and play with it. I think it's awesome that you're doing this.

I'd like to be added to the list. This would be awesome for the clarifying stage in wine making!

How long are the side arms? My initial plan was to run an 8'-10' pole between the two and have them run up the line. Providing I let out some slack on the twine and prevent them from tangling would it be a problem?

Nevermind. I just noticed that the meetings have been temporarily moved.

Ok, if cross polenation is the concern then they will definitely each want their own stake. The instructions I was given just said make sure to give them between 5' and 6' of space between where you plant them. The actual growth and harvesting part of the instructions were kinda sparse.

Sounds good. Are you in Gracemore or the other side of 435? I’m in Gracemore myself. PM me and we’ll see when we can work out a playdate ;) I’m one of those luddite Facebook haters. Any other way to get info on this? I went to the kcbiermeisters site but the calendar...

Yep. Planted Mt. Hood, Goldings, and Willamette last night. Holding out hope for a cascade in the final plot, but if it doesn't happen there's always next year. We'll see how they come out. Now they are in a either end of 2 plots that are 3'x8' each. First year, do I need two stakes or...

Ok, you've talked me into it. I have another dumb question. If you're NOT using the pole and eye hook method to grow them how do you harvest the vine. I will almost certainly plant mine in the ground with a pole using this method. I'm just sort of curious.

Ok, this may not be the place to ask this. Problem is this looks so cool I REALLY want to do it. My question relates to yield I guess. How much brewing do I need to do to make it worth planting? How much will a vine yield and how does that yield convert to a comparable weight of pellets...

That's a good idea. I could pretty easily install a switch to detect when it's open and just put it in the circuit.
