Progress report! I have collected all the parts I need, just have to finish spraying various pieces, mount everything and run some wires 👌🍻 Interior pictures are coming once it's all set up properly

How well does the wrap heat? I'm getting ready to build a similar set up and am trying to decide how I want to heat it. Looks good!

Well, don't be disappointed just yet... As per usual, as soon as you decide to start a project, something goes wrong... 3.5 hours into replacing the front wheel bearings on my Tahoe... 🤬 B**ch was wobblin and squealin and grindin and smokin 🙄😅

So I made a major score today! Found a guy selling all of his HB/keg equipment for $300! All that on top of the free stuff I got from that other chick made for quite the haul! And then immediately after unloading it all into my garage, I went and picked up a chest freezer for $100. About read to...

Oh sh*t, I didn't even notice that 🤣 I guess I'll find out when I pick it up later lol

Hey guys, I've been on HBT for a number of years, but so far I've only made mead. I've been looking to branch out into beer and have just acquired a free Brewers Edge Mash and Boil (model with pump) along with a keg, CO2 tank, regulator and lines for free! (Will also be building my own keezer)...

That was my plan originally, but at least in my area (WA) everyone is asking dang near retail price for old beat up ones and they are few and far between. Finally just said screw it, might as well get a brand new one if it's only gonna be $40 more 🤷‍♂️

Nah, I have an ol lady, and as we previously discussed, hell hath no fury...😬😂😂 That's kind of what I expected. I don't really need that many, just thought I would set it up for 3 if possible. Well I just realized that there is a single regulator in that picture she sent me (I haven't picked...

Pros and cons of a 2 or 3 way regulator vs 1 regulator leading to a distributor?

Bonus! I saw a lady selling a hot tub on FB today, in the background was a keg.. I asked about it and am now getting the keg, a CO2 tank and a Brewers Edge Mash & Boil for MF'n Free! Hell hath no fury like a woman scored.. 😅🤣🤣

Hey ya'll, So I'm getting ready to start my first build (I have yet to buy anything) and planning how I want my set up. I'm going with a tower, I am curious if you guys think I can fit three 5 gallon kegs plus the Co2 tank in a 5cu. Ft. freezer? Looking through other photo's posted on here, it...

Welcome to the group! I first got into this about 4 or 5 years ago I think. My family has always been into our Scandinavian heritage and one day it clicked; Vikings drank mead, right? Why not try to make some! Turned out great, and here I am lol. You could get your licenses/permits in order...

Welcome to the group! You lost me though, I spend most my time in the mead section 🤣 lots of great information on here though!

Gotcha, I have yet to make a traditional. Which I really should just for knowledge and experience lol Unfortunately I don't have a way to cold crash at the moment, unless I was to fill the bathtub up with ice water lol. I too hate discarding booze, I avoid it as much as possible. Normally I...

What is the shelf life of kegged mead? Google (for beer) said 6-8 weeks, but I would think that in a pressurized environment wouldn't be any different than being in a bottle?

Yeah, I think I'll go with the keg, but I may still try pasteurization some time just for fun lol Curiosity killed the cat lol

Of the six mead recipes I have made, only one needed to be aged out, four of them were delicious immediately after ferment, and they were all high ABV (12-19%) (the sixth one was just horribly executed and after a year was dumbed out.. we don't talk about that one... 🤫) There are many factors...

Interesting, simple enough. But, isn't pasteurization frowned upon? I mean for the whole process we make sure the honey doesn't get past like 90°, wouldn't bring it up to 180 right at the end ruin all that?

Ohh I didn't even think about that. I'll need to buy a keg.. lol

Hm. I'm going to have to try this. I have a wonderful Elderberry recipe that everyone loves, never worked with cherries before. I'll follow the above advice and lean toward sour cherries
