The beer I made on day one of the world series is getting a cool new name. World Series Stout. YAY CARDS!

If I remember correctly I got a full two cases. I put the fruit in on day 7 mainly becuse I was going out of town. It did create secondary fermentation and in my 6 gallon Better Bottle and I had to use my blow off tube. I would recommend at least a 6 gallon vessel for secondary of about two...

I did make this, it was however only my second all grain batch which did a few things that didn't go the way I would want to. I have actually had a few people tell me they really liked it but it wasn't exactly what I was looking to make. I plan on making another one in the spring and here is...

+1 I bought all my stuff for my keezer from Kent as well as a barley crusher next thurs. He has the best prices in town. Only drawback is one pick up a week. Just email him to get on his mailing list.

It all depends on the time of year my job doesn't allow me to get there while they are open during the summer so I buy a lot more online. Stl wine and beer if you can be there while they are slower will give you some tips and tricks which is nice.

That's the one that I have, also from kmart. There is more than enough room in it to double the current 5 gal batches to ten. IF you search a little, somewhere there is a chart on these boards that shows you the maximum grain bill you can run and still have room for the water. That's why I...

I've been a little busy over the last month at work but now I'm essentially done with the keezer. The lid is finished and the chalkboard paint is on. Now to get to brewing and fill'er up. Her are a couple pictures of the finished project.

Its been two months since I originally posted this I'm just seeing if there is any suggestions on this a little later in the season.

I have tried all these suggestions and I'm starting to think its the keg thats the issue. Will replacement parts take care of this possibly?

Thank you that does answer a good amount of my questions. I need to debate my options on what pot to buy to go the same size or go a little bigger. I have the keggle at my disposal so I dont necessarily need a huge one

No the valve is open it was working when I pulled a beer last week and when I ran some cleaner through the lines. This couldn't have happened on a more difficult week for me to go get more gas.

No co2 pressure in the keg...so is it ruined?

So I went downstairs to pull a beer of the first keg ever nothing. The tank is empty and no pressure in the keg. I assume the leak is in the keg because I pulled a glass off after a little less than a week and now there is not left over pressure in the keg. I don't know what to do with the beer...

I've searched and I know there are some people doing this but I have some specific questions. Currently I have a Keggle/Turkey fryer set up with a cooler MLT in the back yard which is ideal for me in the spring and fall. Summer time however work is busy as crap so by the time I get home its...

I work for Sherwin-Williams so I am using our product called simply "adhesion primer". There are some other products you could use. Zinsser makes a product called bullseye 1-2-3. And XIM makes a product called UMA primer. They are more expensive than regular primer you have to pay for that...

Here's why I am going to prime I spend all day at work listening to how people screw up their projects and I get to explain why (paint store manager). While that product may say priming is not necessary, it is designed to go over architectural wall paints. Those products are a significantly...

You don't need to remove the current paint but you do need to take the shine off of it. You just want to scuff it up.

I manage a paint store and we sell both roll and spray versions of krylons chalkboard paint. I am planning on doing the lid of my keezer with it. The biggest issue is adhesion. Making sure that you do something to dull down the high sheen enamel factory finish is key. For me I sanded the top...

Here is what I got done last night and this morning. It is up and running and full of bottles at the moment. I still need to finish painting the lid. I am going to go with chalboard paint so that I can label the taps easily as I change out brews. 7. Cut and installed 1" polystyrene foam...
