Yep that's why I'm doing it. My folks, who are nearing retirement age are looking for something to be involved with. They were partners with another couple for some time in a local pizza restaurant before that couple took the money and vanished. Dad especially wants to get into it. I also have a...

I am actually in the process right now. Kansas is hell for it...but it's not exactly EASY anywhere. I am looking to start out with a 10 bbl system initially, progressing as it allows. I am hoping to be operating by August of 2015. Because my brother works for the son of Kansas' most notable...

So I ordinarily do 5 gallon batches, but as I continue to brew, I find I have more and more friends wanting to convert to drinking homebrew over their typical desire for BMC. My only problem, a majority of them are IPA drinkers, while I am not. My solve: brew 2.5 gallons of IPA, and then do a...

Exactly what I was going to say. Seems like the perfect job for a simple reducer.

This is awesome and finally a general idea of what I need to start trying to put together. Now to convince SWMBO it's a good use of $50-100

Been looking at doing something similar lately using an old Sears-Roebuck Silvertone record player cabinet. Definitely excited to see how yours turns out.

Haha okay. I got so pumped for a minute. I'm in the process of going all grain right now but I was about to sacrifice part of that spending to buy that thing haha.

Built this a week or so ago. Got my old wood burner out and realized I've forgotten all the tricks to that trade. Thrilled with the crate though.

I love seeing every update to this thread. I'm borderline obsessed haha. Understand if you don't care to say, but how deep are you financially on this? Or at least, no numbers involved, how are you compared to what you would imagine it would have run to have this built?

My biggest question is where on amazon did you find a kegerator for $169????

can you email this template to me?

Awesome. This is a really cool reference as I'm wanting to get about 4 plants in in 2014.

Bummer is they won't send me the beer I want to use them to open. Haha. No biggie, makes it that much more special when I do get it.

I really like that concept. Especially envious of the DFH openers....can't even get that stuff in Kansas....I have a friend that smuggles it back for me when he goes to jersey.

This is a great core recipe. I'm gonna toy with it a bit and brew this up in the next week I think. I've been searching for something simple that can be bottle carbed.

Planning to build a couple of these tonight. May do a couple 6 pack style as well

Ya pretty much exactly this.

IME you'll be fine. In fact I literally just had mine open for probably 5 minutes to grab a sample and check gravity. I personally don't recommend dropping your hydrometer straight in the beer. Use a thief if you have one or a turkey baster and a tall enough glass to drop your hydro into it.

Right at a week now as per the recipe recommendation. It's meant to go grain to glass in roughly 10-14 days. However, because I'm bottling instead of kegging, I was planning to let it ride a bit extra to rid the possibility of bottle bombs. Damn I can't wait to get my kegging rig.

So I'm not geeking out or anything, just opened the lid on my latest batch and saw what looks like....well....mudbutts laying on the top... Is it just krausen? DME hefeweizen based on the Panic Button recipe I found in a quick to brew thread a while back. Ferm temp between 66 and 68. Used...
