Bought the 2"x10" lumber for the collar, silicone caulk, and 10' ft of 2" pvc pipe today. Got some fab to do! Rethinking the fan operation. To connect up the relay for 12VDC components requires a specialized 120VAC relay to trigger the 12 volt one for the fan when the compressor kicks on...

Did some testing today with the bilge fan and motor speed controller. I can adjust the fan to draw about 0.35A to 0.50A at a slow speed to keep the inside air moving. At full power the fan draws 2.0A, and its pushing so much air its crawling on the ground. Plenty of power, also plenty noisy...

Just ordered some parts. Sometime next week I'll make a trip to THD to grab the lumber for the 2" x 10" collar, some accent 1"x4" to go around the front corners where the chalk paper board will be, and some 2" PVC pipping for the fan mod. 3" Bilge Fan -...

It stinks like bleach cleaner but is cleaning up nice!

Certainly will! Splitting the lid in two halfs I'm not a fan of doing, then it means adding more supports, hinges, etc. I do like the idea of using the 1" Owens Corning insulation as a way to create two compartments. The idea can be further made useful when I do the fan mod install as a way to...

Hello all! New Keezer build here and fairly new to the forum! Scored the 22.3cu/ft chest freezer for $200 bucks, and purchased a Johnson A421 controller to run it. Plan is to build a nice sturdy wheel dolly to roll it around on 3" caster wheels as needed in the basement, the bilge blower mod...

Hey all! Brewer for 9 years over here north of Waterbury with a 30 gallon brew capacity! Just got on this forum awhile back! Great to meet others in the local area!

I have read through that thread, and i have all the components to build it with exception of the rubber stopper. I'll give that a shot and report back

Nagorg, Thank you for the response. I noticed that the Last Straw you need to push down on the tip to have beer flow, versus the beer gun has a trigger. different method that may or may not be an issue for some. Has anyone been able to outfit the Blichmann with say a rubber stopper and gas...

So I've been kegging for years, sorta skipped the whole bottling phase in home brewing because well...its time consuming. Now I find myself giving more samples to friends and family. To be able to do that quickly would be great. Just bought the Blichmann quick carb and love its efficiency...

Already on there. Pinwiz1985. Did a full rebuild of the Bally Embryon pin you see there. Yes very awesome community there.

Yessir! Got a 2nd pinball a few months ago. Also just put LEDs in the bar. With the lights in, I can now finish putting electricity in the basement and get the auto liquor dispenser completed. I only have one outlet and circuit for the basement, not enough for all the toys.

So I was able to score for $500 a 12ft custom bar made out of mostly poplar planks and 9 stools/chairs. It had a great stain finish on it. Looks amazing! CL is an amazing wasteland of stuff, just got to have the right timing it seems on there. Bought a Danby kegerator that I converted as a two...

Agreed, actually the airlocks are still active bubbling, so I believe I'm safe with the pressure pushing the O2 out.

So I have three 5-gallon Carboy 1 gallon jug and two 64oz growlers filled. The third carboy was and is still fermenting slightly since I had another stalled fermentation and used more yeast to get it started again. That should likely come down in the next couple days or so each of the car boys...

This is how full the first two 5 gallon Car boys are and I have a 1 gallon on the side completely filled and a 64-ounce growler. Trying to keep as little air space as possible. So far so good I could probably fill up the car boy a little bit more but I don't want to push it too much

Hey everyone just wanted to give an update. Starting to transfer into the secondary now after about two weeks in the primary. Specific gravity is now at 0.99. As expected The Cider is very dry and I will likely want to back sweeten one of the 6 gallon batches. That way I have a nice balance...

We have fermentation, rhino farts and all! Thanks all!

yes, I admit this was my fault to begin with, thankfully seem to be back on track. Hopefully in 6 weeks or so I'll have some nice drinkable cider

I supposes its an " it depends" answer. I do like tart cider, but sweet cider tends to be the first cider to kick at a party. Yes, I have certainly learned my lesson: Cider, pitch yeast, and leave alone ignoring the rhino farts. I hope to have a residual sweet cider. Maybe the next batch I do...
