Updated it to All-Grain.... with a twist. That twist being one gallon of apple cider! Recipe is for 4 gallons of beer. Then add the cider at the end of primary. 8 lbs American 2-row .5 lbs Breiss Carabrown 55°L .25 lbs American Chocolate Malt 1 oz Hallertau (Pellets, 4.50 %AA) boiled...

Haven't really made it since, but I'm feeling inspired all of a sudden! Glad you guys like it. BYO started the clone. I just tinkered. And you guys took it to whole new levels. Cheers!

Unbe-*******-lievable.... What a hell of a system. No man should have that much stainless and not go pro! Awesome, man!

I've only ever used the Quaker Oats. Holy hell, I birthed a 3 year old, 500 post thread? I'm usually a threadkilla!

That day above was 90F and they were in the sun. Stayed cold at least 4 hours. They were full kegs, so the thermal mass helps. And I didn't buy the $20 ice blankets that come with the sleeves... Target has Coleman ones with camping gear for like $3/sheet.

Wow... 40th batch. Just did #102, haha!

More pics and a movie!

I don't think I ever posted this, but here's my custom portable keg system, The K.I.C.K.A.S.S. It stands for Keep It Cold Kegged Alcohol Serving Station. Here's the design comp: Pretty slef explanatory, so here's more pics of the details like gas system and such:

Was definite action. Added the other quart before bed. Fermenting this morning so I'll add the other two quarts through the day.

Summertimes!

Poured in a quart.... will ceck in a few hours to see if there's any action. Yoop was a little unsure.... anyone else have any thougts?

Just checking in.... Tapped my latest batch on Sunday. Let's call it.... v 5.1. It's the recipe from v.5 except with NO watermelon extract. 8 cups of juice, no extract. It's the best yet. Now I've locked it in! PS.... 8 cups does actually equal a half gallon. So..... be careful when racking...

I was going to do that anyway, so as not to stress the yeast with adding something different/acidic... Thanks!

So the pot. sorbate only stops the yeast from reproducing, not from eating and converting? That might be fine then... primary is about 90% done right now.

I have 4 gallons of a fermenting beer going right now. I'd like to top it off with a gallon of cider to make 5 gallons of apple flavored ale. The only cider I can find has "less than 0.1% potassium sorbate for freshness. One gallon of that in 4 gallons of beer.... Do you guys think that is...

Keezer-1 is gorgeous.

Baller! How did you do it?

Fantastic pic! Will probably end up making another batch of this soon.... Been requested for an annual Oktoberfest party, of all things!

Cold crashing down to 40 for a few days is probably good. Just be careful when you rack to keg/bottling bucket. Can't wait until the Fall to make this again. Better start looking for pumpkin, as it's always scarce...

Use the discount at Iron Hill - Lancaster, which is 20% off the entire bill. I am a mugger there, and it's 10 minutes away, so we use it a lot. DEFINITELY worth it for IH and Zymurgy.
