It will probably cost more to open the brew pub than 60k. I would really consider going with an ugly 50 gallon system long before you get the brew pub 3 vessel 3bbl. You will only be producing 1/2 as much in a single brew but you will also be saving 10s of thousands on equipment and...

If youare considering starting on a 1 bbl system anyway, why not save the money and cobble together a glorified homebrew system? A few 50 gallon soup pots, pumps and a bit of welding is far cheaper to start on than shiney copper. You can keep your money for the inevitable upgrade.

I can't think of anything that would be like a Belgian Stout. There are some that have the color (Rochfort is the first to mind) but there isn't that roasty/ toastiness I associate with a Stout. I imagine it would be good. If you have a good stout recipe, you could start by just brewing that...

Yeah, he's already got his cup ready. How do you explain to a one year old that it isn't carbed yet?

My kegs finally came last week so I've been sinking all my free time into my kegerator project. I starter with a 100L Haier chest freezer. I was happy to see four kegs fit... albeit barely. I needed a huge collar to fit kegs and tubing and have room to move things around. I decided to split...

You should be fine. After primary fermentation is complete the higher temps seem to have less of an effect on the beer. You don't want it sitting around hot, but the temps you are talking about are fine.

After roasting your malt shouldn't you let it sit for 2 weeks before brewing with it?

THat is one beat assed kegerator. It looks like a VW bus's floor pans. You have done great work bringing it back to life. It seems a good size, 4 kegs in a small foot print. I had the exact same reaction to the plastic rings for the faucets. I will probably make something out of wood to...

Sounds like your CFC is the culprit but also check out your bottling bucket. You may want to replace that too after having had infection issues. As for your sanitizer, new sanitizers are sometimes labeled "cleaner" to avoid paying the fees associated with being labeled "sanitizer".

Sorry, I put the wrong link. I did order the 3/16 hose. Thanks for the replies.

Yoko was the fifth Beatle, and the only Japanese one. Spray your plants with starsan. That's Charlie Talley's advice, but he's the guy who makes starsan.

In ordering all my kegging stuff I just ordered a bunch of Super flex tubing (http://www.brewersdiscount.com/item5074.ctlg) it says it "can be used as air line" in the description. Should I replace the CO2 line portion with gas specific hose?

Sounds like a good recipe and experiment. Post your results when it's done.
