Gas lines are in. Added the fan and controller. The fan and 120mm bracket I found on amazon. I was able to run the fan's power cable as well as the controller temp probe through the existing gas line hole. The fan is plugged into the controller with the freezer so it only kicks on when the...

I like to use a 15gal kettle for 6gal batches. I can fit more grain in and don't worry as much about boil over. I'm sure I could brew 10gal batches but I don't know if I want to drink that much of a single beer.

I stored 5 rhizomes in my fridge for about 2 1/2 months. Each was stored in it's own bag and was fairly damp. Of the 5 planted, only 3 survived. I don't recommend doing this but they are cheap enough that I wasn't too concerned.

Decided to mount the CO2 outside the freezer. Picked up the 5gal CO2 bracket from micromatic.com. Drilled a hole and ran my main gas lines. I used screw mounts with velcro straps for the interior to try to keep things clean. The correct size liquid lines came in so I got them cut and...

That's really interesting. I'm using the 15gal system for 5gal batches and get around 1.25 gal boiled off per hour. I set my power to 64-70% during the boil and use a counterflow chiller to rapidly drop the temp for pitching which might be reducing the evaporation rate at the end. I never boil...

Had to look into the molasses addition because I figured it would ferment out like most sugars but I guess not completely? From- https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/5-sugar-adjuncts-to-include-in-your-brew/ "Molasses is a byproduct of the sugar refining process and has been the...

Brew Setup: 15gal Brew-Boss BIAB electric kettle with COFI filter. Ferment in two SS brew buckets (7gal) with independent temp control for each. Brew mostly stouts and IPA's but starting to branch out and begin lagering. What I do with My Beer: I'm in the process of building a keezer but...

After the front board was drilled, I returned it to the keezer and secured it with the brackets. I used liquid nail to attach 1/2" polystyrene to the inside of the collar as well as secure the collar to the keezer. The insulation and liquid nail were both purchased at Menards. I clamped all...

I've been planning this build for the last few months trying to decide which type of keezer to build. I purchased the Insignia 10.2 cu. ft. chest freezer from best buy. Here it is in the basement with the lid already removed. I was originally planning to use 2x10 boards for the collar but...

"They don't think it be like it is, but it do."

UPDATE: While playing with settings I realize now the two machines are not identical. Physically they are but the Frigidare's internal temp only goes down to 40F. When the power kicks off and back on it will hold the previous setting at 40 which is nice but if you plan to lager or cold crash...

Sam's club.

Should kick back on but I'm not concerned with power. I've got both fridges run through a gfci outlet on it's own 30amp breaker. Each fridge has it's own seed mat inside the fridge for heat control, run through the back of the fridge and into inkbird controllers. The last beer I cold crashed, I...

I now own both and can confirm they are the exact same fridge inside and out.

Stumbled on another similar build recently. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/show-us-your-kegerator.29053/page-165#post-8133588 Hows the prototype coming along?

+1 for SS I own two 7gal brew buckets and have been pleased with how they hold up. Cons:price, closed transfers The price isn't terrible to be honest but there are other SS options out there now so it would be worth shopping around. It also almost never goes on sale which is a bummer. They had...

Any updates on the build?
