+1 to everything said about these guys. Made a trip today and simply had to hand them a list of the grain bills and grab the hops and yeast. That plus the always mandatory stroll and by the time I made it to the register my grain was already waiting for me. No change in the near future for me! !

Yes, I am actually going to make a new collar with more height so the lid won't come so close to the air and tap lines. I am having issue right now with the line being placed so the lid pushes on it and runs the risk of causing an air leak.

Stage 1 of the Face-Lift Project:

Replace no, just going to give it a face-lift. I live in a small appt so while I can't have anything all that big, I figure I can take the extra money I would have spent on a bigger freezer/more kegs to make this one into something really neat. Going for a coffin-keezer type of build right now...

I have had a Freezer with Beer in it for a while now and finally decided that this is the summer that I am going to turn it into a real Kreezer. Figured I would start a thread and update so I can get some feedback and ideas (or give others ideas). Current Kreezer:

Fair point. Like I said, I'm not in any real rush; this is one of my more expensive grain bills so I'm a lot more worried about it coming out well then speed.

I have heard similar. And I may or may not have given in and tasted the maibock right before the crash...............and if I had I'm fairly sure that the rest cleaned up the diacatyl beautifully........I would know that only if I had done this of course....:mug:

Here is the situation: I have a Maibock currently in the Kreezer cold-conditioning. I say cold-conditioning because in the brew process I did the long primary @ ~50F Followed by a D-Rest @ 65-68F. After this I racked to a carboy and put into the Kreezer @ ~34F. The gravity when I put it in...

Great, this definitely helps with the space. I usually use my kreezer as a lager chamber, but it already has a pale ale force carbing in a serving keg.............don't really want to have to wait while I'm getting the temp back down :)

So I am doing my second lager attempt, a maibock. I started with an OG of 1.070 and am hoping to hit a TG of 1.012-1.010. When I racked it the gravity showed 1.015, so I'm really close. It's finally done with primary and I just racked to a glass carboy at room temp for a diacatyl rest. My...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Sounds like the situation is about what I though....better pot but not for this reason. As far as upgrading the burners, my parents have 3 propane turkey burners (Don't ask why 3...I have no idea) so I should be able to get one soon, but the 2 hr drive for just...

I am brand new to all-grain brewing (still moderately new to brewing in general) and I bought a 6 Gal Graniteware pot to use as a brew kettle. Since moving to a new place I've noticed that the stove that I have isn't as powerful as I'd like. It can boil a 5-6 Gal capacity of water, but just...

I just checked the gravity and it is very high (1.170+). I am using Lalvin EC 1118 yeast for this batch. Would it be beneficial then to add a yeast energizer?

I'm making a small (1 gallon) batch of mead to test a new recipe my girlfriend gave me the idea for. I make it using 4-4.5 lbs of honey (so very sweet). However, I have noticed that is has had a MUCH slower start then my previous few batches. I can here it going, but much slower then the others...
