Got it! I'm not sure if I'll come back with that much. I've got a wife and kid at home so I don't get to save as much as I would like. I also tend to put myself way in debt before I leave. Then I have to spend the 7 months digging myself back out!

Well, I've been in the 'Stan for about a month and the bug has got me. I miss brewing so much that I almost crave it. I'm left thinking through my brew processes and pretending that I'm brewing. All I can think about it is upgrading my setup and building a new rig. This deployment is going...

Mine helps me make sure I stay fit while drink.

Thanks. I'll stay low. I'll get in there tomorrow with the spoon and really stir it up good again. You may be right about the DME settling to the bottom and not really fermenting all the way. I am hoping for this beer to break the 11% mark. I have kept pretty good measurements so even with...

Got a break in the football action and hopped on here to post about my first attempt and a barley wine. I am by no means a seasoned home brewer, but I have been going at it for at 3 years (between deployments). I used some flaked oats and flaked barley in my first ever barley wine and used the...

Mine are 4" on center. I don't know if I would want mine much closer to be honest. I have plastic collars around mine that would limit how much closer I could put them. Good luck!

Here ya go! 2" from the top and 2" from the bottom and then 4" between the taps. (All measured on center) Good luck with your project!

I am slowly starting to agree with the "no caps" folks out there. Some of the ideas for other covering are very intriguing. Maybe I could just use the caps for the recessed back splash and cover the rest with some type of stone or tile or the like. This thing is just as much my wife's as it...

Sorry it took me so long to get back. The Corps has me all of the country right now. Thanks for the votes. as it stands the keezer is still lacking the caps. I posted earlier about having troubles with my temp controller, but I took it out the other day and smacked it with a screw driver...

Would this maybe make a better ale than lager? Now that I'm looking at it again it strikes me as more of an ale. You're right.... I should probably keep the first lager pretty simple to eliminate any possible issues.

This'll be my first go at a lager, and I was hoping y'all could take a look at the recipe. I'm using some cardamom, wintergreen leaves, and sweet orange peel in the mix. The quantities is what I'm most worried about. Any way thanks in advance! BeerSmith Recipe Printout -...

Sorry forgot to say "Thanks in advance"!

I've got the Love TSX-10140 temp controller and have been having some issues for a while now. Every time I assign a value to c0 the controller will reach the set point, turn on it's LED saying that it is running, but will not turn on the freezer. If I set c0 to 0 and unplug the unit and plug...

I've been trying to come up with a name for a what seems like a very long time. I just started brewing a few years ago so I suppose it hasn't been that long. Now that my beers have been gaining recognition among my friends and family I figured I better buckle down and come up with something...

That illustrated write up makes it look very easy. I've got 2 in primary right now. Maybe I'll give it a shot in a few weeks when I rack to the secondary. I have some mason jars. I don't have a really big one but I have quite a few smaller ones. I might have to have spaghetti in the next week!

That's a good start. Maybe I should just use this as an excuse to experiment since this list isn't quite complete! I'll try to do my best to give back to the community.

I've thought about it. I've been a little afraid of trying for some reason. I have a 2 and a half year old that takes about just about every spare second I have and it just seemed like one of those things that would take a lot of time. I've never really looked into it thought so I don't...

I live in the Mojave Desert in Southern California and it gets hotter than 2 hamsters playing Twister in a wool sock (trying to keep that PG!) in the summer. I like usuing liquid yeast for most of my beers, but the nearest homebrew shop is over 2 hours away and I don't have time to drive down...

I am planning on getting my epoxy from US Composites. It'll probably be a while. I don't have quite enough bottle caps to get the coverage I want. We'll see I may just scrap the whole cap idea and go with something more "classy" and use tile or something. Who knows. I haven't taken any...
