I love the fact this is in your living room for the pics. Good job!

Are you sure you will "never" do 10 gallon batches? I used to think that, too, until I found out how popular I became once people knew I was a brewer! Just my 2 cents, right now I am cleaning up 2) 120 qt. pots my wife happened to find on a garage sale. Oh, the possibilities!

Looking good, you should be proud!

Nine Frogs Brewing. Named after the frogs we rescued from the excavation of an addition on our house. The basement they were hanging out in (a very wet year) is now where most of the brewing is done. The logo represents my life as a fireman. It is nice to be married to a graphic artist who...

The Halligan is wood, mostly pine and cedar that I had sitting around (I'm a woodworker, as well as a fireman). Just kinda fooled around with the bandsaw and belt sander until it looked about right. Couple coats of spray primer, and some of that nice, shiny, "ultra chrome" spray paint you...

Yes, I made all the taps, too. The fridge came with the house I bought several years ago, just waiting for a little inspiration. What better place to find inspiration than HBT?

Awesome!

Nothing too crazy, just having a little fun.

I did that with my first batch, as well. It wound up being a little stronger, but still a good beer. You will be fine, and won't make the same mistake again. Enjoy!

Once you start doing full boils with a 5 gallon batch, you will be starting out with 7 to 7.5 gallons pre-boil. I use a keggle (15.5 gallons) and it is nice to have that headspace to not worry about boil over at all. I haven't bothered with a ball valve and dip tube yet, just siphon it into...

Ahhhhh......Biermunchers Centenial Blonde..........

How long has it been since you brewed? You may just be picking up some of the "twanginess" (yep, just made that word up!) of a green extract beer. I made BB's red kit that, at 3 weeks in the bottle had that twang. Two months later, it was full, rich, and really good. It may just need to hang...

Keep us updated! I'm in the Lake Geneva area, and am in Janesville pretty regularly. I would like to check the place out when you're open. Good luck!

Brewing has absolutely improved my appreciation of commercial beers. Much like my cooking has evolved over the years, I now appreciate the work, research, and complexity of the craft. I appreciate how the founders of this did it hundreds of years ago with little to no understanding of why...

Was so impressed with my first order, I turned around and ordered three more cornies! Quick shipping and good looking products. The project continues, thanks to Keg Connection! Good job guys!

Be patient Grasshopper! It can easily take 6 weeks to carb up! Odds are, the beer tastes green anyway, so give it some time to mellow while you go out and get a "mixer sixer" at the store and try to compare flavor profiles, aromas, carbonation levels, etc. Yeah, it's a good excuse to drink...

Thumbs up to Kegconnection as well. Just got the two tap system delivered, and ordered 3 more ball lock kegs from them, as well. Good service, quick shipping, looks like quality stuff, too!

Count me in on that reply!
