Corney kegs need different connections than sanke (commercial) kegs. Tank size is up to you. 5,10,20 lb are common size. Exchanges/fills are typically cheaper with the larger tanks. It seems like a lot of people advocate two tanks in case one runs out, or a small one for portability and a...

Jack Keller has two recipe's posted. http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/request110.asp CC Berry's Winemaking book (sorry, too lazy to look up exact title/author) has a similar recipe in it as well, though the methods seem a bit dated. I intend to try this soon but haven't made decisions on all...

I've been wanting to do something similar but I don't have the room and haven't stumbled upon anything free. Yes, post pics when you get home. I've seen a few good tutorials how to do it, and generalize the instructions to apply to most models. Home improvement stores (Menards, Home...

Hope you feel better soon. I haven't had the flu for years, and I hope to keep it that way. If you want, check out OpenOffice.org - The Free and Open Productivity Suite. There is an app that will open/edit excel file. It's open source/free. If you're going to create docs/spreadsheets and...

There is a good calculator posted here: JT's Beer Home Page Towards the bottom "Electric Heat Calculator". It says 6 gallons will take 19 min to go from 150 to 212 using 3000 watts (95% efficiency). Insulate your boil pot to reduce heat loss will help too. This thread may have some details...

Two options: Google "excel viewer" and you should be able to find a download from Microsoft. Or try OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org - The Free and Open Productivity Suite). It is an open source office suite of applications. I forget what the name of the program is, but one of them will open xls...

Are you talking about Angry Minnow Brewpub, from Hayward WI? They were at a beer fest I attended earlier this year, but I have no idea if I tried one of theirs. Lost my notes, and drank my fair share. :drunk:

Beer Guide for Saint Louis - Missouri, United States - BeerAdvocate There's some reviewed beer shops, but I don't know how close to downtown it is. You may get more responses in the General section.

Were you planning to hire an electrician to do the install? If so, ask them what your options are. If you're going to DIY this, take your time, because it appears you have plenty to learn about. When you get into the heavy wiring, it gets expensive. Minimize the distance between your outlet...

Oh - Yea, the Johnson will work just fine for a HLT. The Pol's setup (among others) has proven that. If you want another DIY option, check this out: New Page 1 Personally, I would go the PID route so I wouldn't have to source the parts and I'm guessing prices have come down since that was...

Simplest and most cost effective is a on/off switch. Probably a PID and some SSRs. Not really, boiling is boiling. Not worried about temp, but the intensity of the boil... No, not for the amperage you'll need. Regarding using your Johnson, I don't think it will work the way you're...

On this side of the pond, we can get wine in 4L jugs. I found apple juice in 1 gallon jugs as well. Have you looked for small buckets to use? I have found 2 gallon buckets (about 8L) that I'm going to try for some wines. There's nothing wrong with making small batches. I have small...

High side? Low side? Street or track? I had a graceful low side 2 years ago. I only have a dime sized scar on my ankle to remember it by. It was an odd feeling, to be turning, then sliding on your butt, watching your motorcycle slide away in front of you...

I got suckered into the "8 Beers in a 6 pack" marketing ploy. Agree with everything above. I know a few guys who have had their fair share of Mountain Creek, which is another beer by the same brewery. Mountain Creek is sold in flats of 4x 6-packs for $6.99. I'm not aware of another...

Agreed, awesome. Though I have to say we are already blessed with several homebrew stores in the area. I'm curious what kind of impact this will have on them. By my count, there's 7 others within 45-60 minute drive. ======================== Milwaukee Area Home Brew Shops...

There's no guarantee that it is food safe. HDPE 2 is a certfied food safe if the processes and materials used are food safe (and when the FDA approves it)*. I've read comments/statements that make convincing arguments for and against the homer buckets. What it comes down to is you need to...

I think a good portion, if not all of the lot was sold. A day or two ago I noticed a different add with just the chest freezer, CO2 and thermostat. Someone got a good deal.

My homebrew club was planning to make an offer on the lot. I should find out where we are on that... There's a few big ticket items that we may not have interest in. He originally had the cornies listed for $15 w/ disconnects and people low balled him on that. Geez, just take that at that...

I have you beat. I ordered one at the bar after posting here. My bottle said best before March 12... 2007. I suppose their inventory doesn't turn over often!
