Go for it on the chiller. It's a good bit taller than i need. Pretty good price too.

can you give dimensions on the chiller (length and diameter of tubing)?

Deal of the year. Happy kegging. :-)

So $110 in materials approximately? Hmmm, i was hoping this would be a little less costly...

OK thanks. Could you post an update when you receive yours, BOR? I was also curious about size. By my calcs, if it's 12" (not 12' !) across, it should be 18.5 inches high. That sound right?

Has anyone taken advantage of the Free Shipping option the guy offers on ebay? I emailed him to ask about it. He said if i pay with a check that he would ship for free, because it saves him on PayPal fees. To me that sounded sketchy, because he is throwing in $10.69 shipping for free, and...

Great info (you too, Strat). Based on this, i rehydrated a second packet and added it just 8 hours after the initial pitch i described above. I don't want my first lager to suck! Wort temp was 57 (on the way down to 50) on the repitch. Yes, i am using the saflager W34/70. I also bought...

Thanks very much for the response Tristan. Would you just help me understand why the manufacturer instructions are wrong and result in yeast dying? I'm new to lagering as I mentioned, so i thought going with what they said would be the right way to go, but it seems as though that's not...

K thanks. I am doing Revvy's Vienna Lager with 34/70.

My Saflager yeast packet says you must pitch it straight into the wort between 63 and 73 degrees. Then ferment at the normal range (43 to 54 is what it states, I believe.) First lager, so i am going to do that, and put it in the cooler right after pitching to get down to 50. That shouldn't...

Just picked mine up from RIT_Warrior! Thanks for making the transfer, Matt, and thanks to Kyle for organizing. Vienna Lager, coming up!

Cool. BTW, i just "got" your screen name. I used to live on Baseline Road in Boulder, CO, which is so named because it traces the fortieth parallel. Now back to your regularly scheduled classified thread.

i just want to call dibs on 10 feet if it doesn't all go via ebay. Forty, i emailed you about it already.

You'll risking bottle bombs if you don't campden/sorbate. Almost certainly some live yeast will be transferred into the bottle with the sweetened cider. I do prefer cider without the sorbate in it, so if i were doing it i would keep the kegged portion separate from the bottled portion. That...

Late to the party here, but a 10-gallon is the perfect size if you know you will do 5g BIAB batches forevermore. I have an 8g and it is a bit too small. If you can get a 1.092 OG batch with a 10g you're going to be fine. Now for flexibility the 15g does make sense as you can brew 10g down...

By my quick calcs, that's about --- 10,000 bottles of beer on the pallet, 10,000 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around, 9,999 bottles of beer on the pallet 9,999 bottles of beer on the pallet, 9,999 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around, 9,998 bottles of beer on the...

I absolutely hardcore second Pappers on the lactose. It does not add sweetness to the cider. My 2 preferred methods have been: 1 -- Keg, backsweeten, and keep cold to avoid fermentation 2-- Before I had a keg system, keep a jug of simple syrup in the fridge. Add a tsp or 2 to the glass...
