Shake the keg a couple times a day, it will speed carbing but it will stir up the yeast making the beer cloudy...It will settle back out in a few more days...

55 pounds of Golden Promise... my most used malt...

If you don't mind using a stick on label I have a Brother label maker... those tags are similar to lockout tags used by people working on machinery. I could run a bunch of labels for $5 and mail them... 1/2 inch wide tape, white on clear or black on white. Peel and stick to the tag... I use them...

My sister and brother in law had a sailboat on Lake Superior back in the 80's. I went up and sailed with them a few times. Fun but Superior can turn on you in an instant! One trip we ran in 15 foot waves to get into the Apostle Islands so we could anchor up until the storm passed. That is some...

I would upgrade the ports if you have a local welder who can do stainless, go much larger...

You should have posted you needed one, I have a half dozen like that laying around...

On my kegerator I went to left side because that is the side away from the wall. easier access basically... Plus the butter dish in the fridge door was in the way on the right(not a big deal, I used long shanks but why deal with an obstruction...)...

Oh yeah, chill times are quick with 45 degree ground water! But I have had the hose freeze up below 10 degrees so I try to stick to days above 20, and closer to 30 is better! Working on a closed loop cooling system, and a way to store 55 gallons of cleaning water in the garage(never drops...

More amateur radio amplifier parts, and seed catalogs! Spring garden time is coming!

Washed 2 fermenters(kegged 2 days ago), washed 2 more kegs so I can empty 2 more fermenters...

Sampling my SMASH lager(Belgian Pilsner/Hallertau), ferment temps ranged from 60 to 72 at the end of 4 weeks. Not bad at all! 34/70 for yeast and no off flavors, clean malt/hop character shines through!

It is when you need 50 feet of garden hose laying in the snow for cleaning/cooling and at 7 degrees it will freeze fast...

Problem you may run into is the self defrost heater may not run enough due to higher temps. It can be bypassed and you can just manually defrost. The model number would let me find a wiring diagram and see if that is possible. Usually coils frosting up and not defrosting and the defrost heater...

Try amateur radio... I dropped $8k on a tower and antennas 3 years ago!

Maybe next week Tuesday if the forecast holds... other wise is it to dang cold! Have to see what I have on hand for malt then design a recipe around it!

Well they do give the deputies more than 1 bullet LOL but town size is about right!

Oops,you are right... what I get for trying to think tired! Worst case get some muratic acid(might be water stains) and soak the inside by rolling the keg around. Use proper personal protection equipment when doing this! Muratic acid is dangerous!

Closed geometry should be close to vertical, open is what counts the most!

cold for the next 2 weeks, no brewing...

Try the Utz cheeseballs! good stuff and I reuse the containers in the shop.
