I just rechecked my hydrometer. It is calibrated properly. My thermometer must have been off and I mashed at too low of a temp. It is way too bitter for my taste at the moment. I am gong to let it sit for a few more weeks and go from there.

Sorry yooper, I meant to type wyeast. Thanks for the help everyone. I guess its time to go the brew shop and get a new good thermometer. Would you guys age it, keg this and see how it turns out, Or just chalk it up to a loss? I have also read about some people adding maltodextrin at kegging time...

Plenty of people do it. They actually make an adapter that takes the place of the spear to allow you to use a blow off. You may also be able to use a stopper with an airlock or one of those rubber carboy caps as well. There are also plenty of people who split 10 gal batches between two...

Cornykeg.com, kegcowboy.com amd other places have conversion kits cheap. Its easy to do,and you would be better off converting it than trying to sell it and get a ball lock.

Next in line for all of it if everyone else backs out. Let me know. Thanks.

I don't know if it has been covered or not, so please don't flame me if it has. Im out of town and only have my phone for internet. But anyways, I have recently started brewing. I have only brewed 5 batches, and the last one was my first all grain (Its a simple czech pils and hopefully its...

Hello everyone. Thanks for all of the info in this thread so far. I have a question about my latest batch and figured this would be the right place to ask. I have a n Oktoberfest brewers best kit going in primary right now. Its in a glass carboy and has been in primary for 11 days now. It has an...

Haha yeah I know its pretty dirty, but those old fridges are pretty cool, especially if it still runs. Plus I figure someone could use the parts at the very least. Im sure with the parts and keg alone you could get your moneys worth out of it.

Hello everybody. I recently joined and thought I would pass this on. I already have a kegerator, but this is a good deal and I hope somebody can get it. http://columbus.craigslist.org/for/2627533416.html

Thanks for the replies. How much do you guys think you lose with the blow off tube? Thanks
