    Pee smells funny

    Maybe you've got an infection.

    &%*$ing True Value

    Well, they do have great stuff for 2.99 a can, which is cheaper than lowes. That might make me go in, even after hearing about your BOHICA moment.

    Boulevard Nutcracker Ale Clone Guidance

    Man, I haven't had a nutcracker ale in about 5 years, they are tasty. I used to live near KC, now I'm in Atlanta. I'm going to try this, but I'll do a PM. I don't think I'll add any molasses, or brown sugar. I'll probably try to get the flavor profile out of the grains listed on the...

    Small Qty Solid Surface or Marble Countertops?

    I would go directly to a local countertop fabrication company. I've gotten the cutouts from sinks and range tops to use as shelves, and they just let me have em free. I used them to build a stereo component shelving system, and small table tops.

    Show us your Kegerator

    I know this is a bit premature, but it is kind of a photo of my (future) kegerator. Turning this craigslist armoire, http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2630/4020300604_2011ceafb7.jpg into this super sexy B'armoire http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2434/4020300670_2a9c0b11d7.jpg by changing the...

    Nice, I like the light strip @ the taps. Sweet paint job too.

    Mobile kegerator build thread

    That sounds too cool, since it's electrical you could hook the button up to a sound module. I can hear it now, " kiss my shiny metal ass!" :cross:

    Mobile kegerator build thread

    I'm thinking you could use a bike brake lever to mount the antenna on, and run the cable to the faucet in the hand. Of course you would need to put a spring on the faucet to close it, and return the antenna to upright.

    I want a label thread too!

    Looks good to me, :mug:

    Three Taps Fermenamber (Fermentation+Chamber)

    You're right about the heat transfer part, but don't forget about the fluid dynamics part. The cold air will seek out gaps, in a way. Since the density of your cold air is more than that of the warmer surrounding air, it will tend to sink, and leak out the gaps at the bottom. That will suck...

    question on taking apart a fridge.

    I took apart a mini fridge to make a kegerator. You can check it out here - The pic of the fridge is here I used an older fridge that had the condenser coil on the back, not in the walls, so it was easy to save. I just peeled the steel off the back, and used some aviation snips to cut the...

    DIY (sorta) HLT

    The digital thermometer is just that, a thermometer. You're trying to replace the thermostat, so what you want is a digital temperature controller(thermostat.) Something like this- http://www.rancoetc.com/ranco-etc111000000-digital-temperature-controller-p-86.html I'm not saying that is the...

    Pistachio Porter?

    I would try a flavored syrup, or maybe a pistachio paste. The paste will (may)be all natural, but the oils will kill any head retention and will separate out. The flavored syrup will not be all natural, but it won't separate. You might be able to find some at a high end cafe to try in one...

    Has anyone made a Heat Pipe?

    I just got together the parts for it. As follows - pipe - Black iron pipe & fittings. (it was cheaper than copper, and should transfer heat reasonably well)(fingers crossed) Wicking material - 22/32" cotton cord, used for making drapes. it is basically just a bunch of cotton fiber, inside a...

    She Walks in the Willows with Pandas

    I think your "yearning" is what expedited your DMV experience. The moral has to be - "If all else fails, try a game of grab-ass" :D

    Has anyone made a Heat Pipe?

    I've been considering making a heat pipe rather than using a blower for a tower cooler. I want to do this mainly because I have most of the materials, and it seems like an interesting experiment. It also uses no energy, has no mechanical parts that could fail over time, and doesn't generate...

    Resurrection of a well aged Whiskey Barrel Kegerator.

    Great Stuff takes an hour to expand. This stuff takes a few minutes.(it's hard in 15.) Here's a video of the type of foam I used. Yes, it is awesome.:rockin: I got it at uscomposites.com

    Resurrection of a well aged Whiskey Barrel Kegerator.

    Well, I've poured the insulation. It went pretty well. The initial pour went into the back side of the cold box, and seeped around the ducts into the main chamber, as I thought it would. It didn't flow evenly, however, and ended up shifting the liner about a 1/2" off center. Oh well. The...
