I've had a donation box on my kegerator for ten years. Although I have not had homebrew in it until now.:mug:

+1 Problem solved:D

Short's is definitley the best in Northern MI. Love the Bellaire Brown. Big Buck in Gaylord is usually great too although I haven't been there in a while. I recommend the Beer Cheese soup washed down with thier Antler Ale if you stop there. I was in Grand Marais a couple of years ago and...

I agree. I find I drink less of the good beers. When I drink a full flavored beer I only drink two or three in an evening. When I used to drink "light" beers I would easily drink ten or more.

Love it. :mug:

Came home this morning to find everything ok :ban: Looks like most of the fermentation is done. When I took the blowoff tube out to install the airlock I took a sniff and it REALLY smells good. :mug:

I'd like to know how it turns out. I have one of those kits lying around someplace too and was wondering if it is still usable.

If you have the extra room maybe think about converting a full size fridge. No need for a temp controller. I found a nearly new one for $50 and converted it to hold kegs with the faucet coming out the side. I can fit four ball lock kegs easy with room left over for bottles. The extra space...

I used my ball lock keg which is about 8.5" in diameter. The hard part is bending the ends up. I got a few small kinks in mine. Just don't try and bend a tight radius.

I've never had a fresh Bit so I can't say. I think the stuff he got was on sale and had been sitting in the store for who knows how long. Could be why it tasted like A$$.

I used this: http://www.acehardwareoutlet.com/productdetails.aspx?sku=43597&source=GoogleBase and this: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100637982/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 To connect to my faucet. My local HD didn't carry the Faucet to...

Haha, I think SA Noble Pils is one of the worst beers I've ever tasted from SA. Like chewing on hops. I was very disapointed because I've liked all thier beers. I forgot about Bitburger. Friend of mine brought a mini keg of bit to a party years ago, of course we drank it all, but we...

Thats how I started out doing it but the wire I bought was too thin. I ended up doubling it up, looping it around the bottom, criss-crossing each loop and giving it a few twists between each loop. Ended up with about 1/8" between each coil. If i build another I will use thicker copper wire.

I did use copper wire both to separate the coils and hold it all together. It made it a little more solid when handling it.

So your saying I should pray to the beer gods for a clean closet when I get home.:cross:

:) Who cares what it is about. I just want to be that pillow.:mug:

Brewed my first batch last night and have it in the fermenter. It is a Bavarian Wheat kit from Midwest. I've been reading that Wheat beers tend to blowout of the fermenter sometimes and this has me worried. I have it in my living room closet because it is just too cold to put it in the...

Thanks for the advice about checking the hose clamps. They loosened up quite a bit after the test run. Just got done with the first brew and it worked great. :rockin:

Your right about the 1/2" house plumbing. I never thought about that. And the 1/2" is twice as much $$ as the 3/8". I'm not sure I want to try and bend the 1/2" tubing either. The 3/8" was fun enough.

I'm already planning another larger one for brewing 5gal batches outdoors in the summer. Thinking I might try 50' of 1/2" tubing and using some elbows for the tight bends. This one is going to work great on the stovetop.
