Thank you, ive been planning this for 10 years. I finally moved to florida about 5 years ago and finally got around to adding the pavers and tiki hut/bar this year. There was an 1,100 sqft deck built around that oak tree that I disassembled by hand so I could salvage the lumber. We also did the...

I have done my share of brewing in a freezing cold garage in ny. I couldnt wait to get out of there and move to a hot climate. I always wanted a tiki bar and finally made it happen this year but I made the mistake of listening to my wife and I didnt make it big enough to brew in. I do have a...

I already have wheels on it however getting it from the garage all the way back to where I want it is not going to be easy. That's just not an option. I don't really have a rust issue if I have something kept in a shed or in the garage, but the second it's out in the weather it rusts almost...

I have a painted steel 3 vessel single tier brewstand with a pump. I currently keep it in my garage and thats where I brew. I also live in Florida and it gets extremely hot in my garage so brewing in there is fairly miserable. I want set up my rig in my backyard where i have a pool, tiki hut...

I am going to brew this soon And was wondering if anybody has ever used any cinnamon sticks and/or oaked this?

I made 11.5 gallons of this back before Irma decided to show up and screw things up for us in Florida. Luckily it was in my chest freezer and had several days to ferment before power went out. Hopefully it tastes fine, I might have to rename it Irma Ale.

I'm doing that today after if fill it with kegs.

I left it running all night to really let things cool down. My garage is 81 right now and the difference in temperature is now only 3.6 degrees. I'm super happy with that.

I just finished my build and after adding dual fans and insulating the hell out of the coffin I have a 5 degree difference between the keezer and coffin. It was 8 degrees before I used foam insulation to fill as much dead space as possible and I built a U shaped channel funneling air coming in...

This is our backyard project this year. I'm in the process of building a new kegerator and I have to install the sink and some shelves.

OK, I guess I was wrong. I might be in good shape though, I still don't have everything sealed up and insulated completely and in my testing the freezer was holding at 38-40 and the coffin was 7-8 degrees warmer and that is outside in my 95 degree garage. I taped foam insulation in strategic...

Well the technical specs say it operates on 3-7 volts but I'm sure I read something that said it could operate at 12 volts but I can't find it right now.

Just like the title says. I bought a set of three speed computer fans that run off one USB charger. All of the Chargers I've found are nowhere near 12 volts so even on high speed they aren't moving as much air as I hoped. I'm testing them now on my new keezer with a coffin and it is staying 10...

I'm getting ready to build one out of a chest freezer and I'm going with a tower. I have a regular fridge on my patio with 3 taps and I have had some issues with sweaty taps during the summer and my patio hits 100 degrees most afternoons. It's been out there 4 years and no other issues. On the...

What brand are they?

I made this recipe about 5 years ago and enjoyed it. Now that I live in the Florida heat I think it will be a perfect summer beer so I'm making another batch next weekend. Has anyone tried it with kolsch yeast? I read half the thread and didn't see anything. I'm planning to use 2 of the 3 out of...

Thank you very much, everything I read talked about it being added prior to the boil. I will continue on with the Brew Day.

I accidentally added 1 drop of ferm cap after I boiled my yeast starter instead of before. I then added the yeast and put it on my stir plate. It appears to be fermenting but has no Krausen at all. Will this be a problem? I was hoping to brew today or tomorrow and hate to make a special trip to...

I'm doing a sip of sunshine clone soon. I saved the dregs from 4 cans of heady topper and dumped them into a 1020 starter. 2 days later it appeared to have finished fermenting so I decanted and added some 1040 wort. How many times do I need to step this up for a 5 gallon batch of sos?

The johnson controller has been working perfectly so I'm sure the freezer is fine. The keg of kolsch that froze seems a little more watery than the first keg I'm drinking now. I shook the hell out of it after it thawed and carbed it back up.
