I took my Haier beer fridge and added the tower and lines for a kegerator. I'm using 2.5 and 3 gallon cornies now because they fit in the back and allow me to still use the fridge for bottled homebrew too. Down the road there is room for two 5 gallon cornies in the front of the fridge if I...

That is a GREAT deal on the brown flip-tops. Go for it.:ban:

I did AHS's Double Chocolate Stout and added some lactose and got a very smooth finished beer. I would think she would go for that or just a plain sweet stout. Good luck. At least she isn't asking you to brew some Lite.:mug:

I use a plastic bucket and a Coopers plastic fermentor with spigots for my primaries and BB's for secondaries. I really like how easy it is to clean them after primary fermentation, especially after a particularly vigorous start. The BB's provide a great sealed environment that I don't...

I meant if you are going to spend the money for a dual regulator which allows you to have beers at two different pressures I would suggest getting a dual tap tower or two faucets to dispense the beer.

Yes, you can get by by carbing all of your beers the same. It is easier and cheaper to go that route. I went the dual regulator route since I got a great deal on one. I think it gives me some more options, is nice to have, but just having draft beer at home is great. To take advantage of it...

I believe in my carpentry days we would call that a 'hack' job. I'm jealous you are moving to a keggle though. Get yourself a grinder as others suggested. At least you won't bleed to death or be making a lot of red ales.:mug:

For me the diameter was a big deal. My fridge is just over 17" wide inside so I could fit ball lock kegs side by side, but not pin lock. Also, I think it is easier to find more size variety with ball locks. Anything bigger than three gallon and my beer fridge will only be a kegerator (Not...

Thanks for the confirmation. I have made sure where the coolant lines are so I should be okay there. I also like the thought of the CO2 being in a more secure (lockable) room away from my curious children. Just waiting for my regulator to arrive to get going.:ban:

Sorry to ask, but I haven't really found a clear answer searching through the forum, though I think this setup will be okay. I am gearing up to do draft beer with two 2.5 gallon kegs and a dual tower faucet. I have my beer fridge which will hold the kegs and some of my regular bottles. I want...

I'm all of 41, but I'm a baby in the homebrewing world. (I must say the homebrewing formula tastes much better than baby formula.):rockin:

I use removable label stock from www.onlinelabels.com which works good for me. The labels peel right off when they are dry. They do run if they get wet (printing with an inkjet). :mug:

No. You do not need to boil it. It should be sanitary coming straight out of the bottle.:)

Nice work! I won't mention it to my SWMBO. She might expect me to get the same deal. :ban:

After my glass carboy 'accident' I switched to Better Bottles. They are much easier to handle and keep clean. I use them for my secondaries. Price Payed: $20.00 Recommended? Yes Pros: Light weight, easy to clean. visibility. Cons: None

Always use a secondary now. When I did my first batches I didn't, but since I've progressed I like the process of getting the beer out of the primary after 7-10 days and putting it in the secondary for a week or two. It seems to help the flavor of my beer. (I always natural carbonate in...
