I'd help you drink your brew, but you're too far away. :D

What you'd do is ferment your batch in the plastic tub, for a minimum of 14 days (longer is better), then rack your batch to your bottling bucket, onto your boiled and cooled priming solution, then directly into your bottles, where you'd let it sit for another 2 weeks minimum at room...

I don't have a keezer, but it sounds to me like yours is well enough insulated that it doesn't warm up quickly at all... this would be a good thing! :D

For someone who can measure without having to go to alot of trouble emptying it, what are the dimensions of the bottom area of the freezer? Would 3 x 9"kegs fit into the bottom, no (or small) collar, with a 5# CO2 bottle on the hump?

If the pond is full of beer, it'll float higher still, since the entire crew just jumped in for a drink! :drunk:

Kind of like a Pale Oatmeal Porter? :D With a malt profile like this, what would you do for hops, for the most pleasing beer? What other mods would you make to this beer?

Niiiice. :rockin: :ban: :D :mug:

I usually carry this Leatherman knife in my pocket. Most Leatherman knives have a carabiner-type clip that doubles as a bottle opener. eta: I think my favorite part, though, is the 25-year warranty. :D Recently, when I didn't have that knife, and the friends I was visiting didn't have a...

As you can see, the difference between Tasty and Nasty can be as small as a single letter. :D I'm trying to create a recipe, for an Amber Ale, which will probably be my second batch. I'm just looking for opinions, and possible tweaks. It's an extract + grains batch. First off, would 1 lb...

Strong in this one, the kickassery is. I wonder how I'd incorperate the split lid idea into a small freezer design...

One thought I had, concerning this idea, would be the fact that, instead of needing to build up height for a hump keg with the colar, you can design it so the coffin-box provides the required clearance. My motivation for building this, honestly, wouldn't have been to preserve the original...

I've been checking out (drooling) all the kegerator and keezer threads. There are so many here that are totally kick-arse!! I know that some people don't want to cut a hole in the lid of a freezer, and for that reason, many put the taps through the collar. Another option occured to me, and I'm...

One factor that needs to be kept in mind, is that I'm in northern Alberta, Canada. Nothing is shipped here for free. Many of those online brewing supplies companies, I've tried out their shopping cart, and the shipping (on just about anything) pretty much doubles the price. This kit, at Save On...

Today, I was in Save On Foods, picking up a couple things for supper, when I came across the brewing section, where I saw a starter equipment kit, for $50. It's made by Spagnols. It includes (from memory): 5Gal carboy fermentation bucket thermometer hydrometer with sample tube sample thief...

Couldn't you just turn it around, so the "front" becomes the back? Or are there fundamental differences between the front and back boards?

I'll take the third and fourth... what's the last one? I might take that one too. Incidentally, I'm not an alcoholic either. a 12-pack will typically last me 2 weekends, unless I'm partying, where it'll go twice that fast... (3/evening for Friday and Saturday, or 6/evening if I'm partying)

Looks yummy!! :) Now, to put together some gear, and get brewing again!

Do you have a revised recipe put together yet? I'm trying to find a good first-timer partial mash oatmeal stout to try out sometime in the future, after I make a red or amber ale, to knock the rust off.

As I type this, my WeatherEye is telling me it's -27C. By this weekend, it's supposed to go up to 0C (yeah, right; as if!) Of course, Tomorrow morning, I'm starting a new (outdoor) job, and we're getting in the minus 20's for a couple days yet... Oh well, it means money coming into the...

Hi all. Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm originally from New Brunswick, Canada, but at the moment, I'm living in Grande Prairie, Alberta. I'm not brewing at the moment, but I'm hoping to get an equipment kit soon, and get started. About ten years ago, I had dabbled a tiny bit in brewing...
