Curious what the new setup looks like! :-) Nice buy for someone looking to upgrade.

Free to good home about 6 case of bottles all mostly brown. All have been rinsed and many have been peeled. I'm in Avalon PA which is just outside downtown Pittsburgh. Certainly feel free to share a home brew but not required. :-P

Do such beasts exist?

That's good advice. I will order some to avoid my lack of attention. Thanks for the follow up! :-)

I made the same mistake... Now that I've identified the posts... Are the poppets different for each side or are these interchangeable?

I have my temp probe taped to the wall of the freezer, I wonder if I would be better to put into a bowl of water. Do you think that will yield more consistent temperature control?

I tasted the same thing in my Pils that I just put in the keg to force carb... I always like to try a little bit un-carbinated to see how it is coming along... I taste a slight banana flavor at the end. I lagered in a freezer with a temperature controller. I'm wondering if maybe I didn't...

I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip! Will report back results.

Well I definitely need a hose to fill from the bottom. The drop in the bottle caused the beer to foam which only allowed me to fill the bottle about half way... I think this would work if I had a tube that I could hook up to my tap and then end it with the bottle filler...

Thanks guys, good tip on sanitizing the caps, I hardly ever bottle anymore and would have forgot. I'll let you know the results!

I have some finished beer already force-carbed in my keezer... I want to share some with my buddy tonight and we don't have any growlers handy. I do have several cleaned champagne bottles. Any harm in filling them from the tap and then putting a bottle cap on? He'll drink the beer over...

It will take over your garage!!! I know it has for me. Best of luck! It's a great and rewarding hobby. :-)

Dude looks awesome! Nice job! :-)

Here's a couple of pictures of the drip tray up close. I super glued the rare earth magnets to the back. Those came from 3 hard drives. Three sets seem to hold this securely, no wobbling or drifting downwards.

Yea I already trashed it... I bought another freezer on craigslist for 40 bucks to do controlled fermentation storage. If you're in a large metro city you can find all kinds of cheap stuff on there. Thanks for the suggestion! :-)

Here's it completed with the drip tray.

Finished! Only 1 keg in so far but the other three fit. I'll post a picture of the drip tray shelf I built as soon as its painted.

Painted the CO2 tanks I Found on Craigslist.

Thanks Glider thats what I was thinking. I was thinking of making a double bead which should act like a gasket to seal her up.

Primed and applied the first coat of paint. I hope to finish up the second coat tonight. I will try and post a photo. :)
