I thought about that. Good idea but I am working on making elephant tusks for the tap handles.

Possibly...If I end up side by side testing, I will post the details. I'm not trying to get to scientific with the setup as this was merely an aesthetic project due to the bad condition of the keg's original finish.

Well I guess it's a good thing I paid nothing. For me, it wasn't about the insulation as much as it was about the rugged appeal and aesthetic look. My keg was beat up and the rhino liner does protect from scratching, etc...

My good friend is a die hard Auburn fan and of course loves beer....so....he just contracted me today to start on his War Eagle Kegerator..I will post pics within a few weeks for sure!

Yes, very good point. I have a coat prepared but multiple coats wouldn't be a bad idea. It is all experimental anyhow.

I couldn't say exactly. It looks thin. I would say 1/32 of an inch. He mentioned that the thicker he applies it, the more it would run. Also, it is very difficult to make it look appealing when it is caked on.

Hilarious! The irony of using a piece of exercise equipment. Good stuff and fantastic idea sir.

Here are the shots of my custom art work for the kegerator. I still have a little outline and highlight work to do but this what I have as of now. Roll Tide!

Any thought on staining the wood? It may not look better or worse, just curious if you thought of any Burn-In or staining type additives? Looks great though!

After many hours of research and talking with my local Rhino Liner guy, we decided it was time to try something new. It turns out that Rhino liner not only insulates very well but can insulate for cold and hot, similar to the inside of a cooler. My Rhino guy was very cool and actually was...

In short, the higher the OG, the more sugar is in the mix. Because your gravity was lower than the recipe called for only means there isn't enough sugar involved before fermentation begins. This will result in a lower ABV (Alcohol content). My question is did you brew by way of Extract or All...

It should be common practice to check the SG often. After a few tries, you will get to the point where you notice the slowing of the bubbles and that is your Que. Before you bottle, just make sure the majority of fermentation is complete, i.e no more bubbling. If you want a little carbonation...

Hey Ben...Adding sugar in mid ferment isn't necessarily a "no-no". For example, if you are going for a super high gravity beverage, you have to do a lot of extra work to make sure the Yeast is buffered to maximize the best environment. It is not uncommon to add sugar in stages during take off...

A very common issue for beginner wine makers is perfecting the sugar levels for gravity and taste...Most already understand that a hydrometer is essential but there is one solid calculation I have used for years that really helps in combination with a hydrometer to get the sugar(brix) level...

Well, I just found you a brew partner for that first batch...am I too late?

Alright! Road trip! You will be passing through Columbia, SC (home of the gamecocks). They actually have several great places to grub...If you are looking for a pub, check out either Delaney's or Puddlin Duck. Delaney's is more pronounced with the Irish Pub feel and they do have a better...

I live near Huntsville, AL. We have this awesome BioDiesel mfg called DudaDiesel. Cone Bottom & Inductor Tanks with Metal Stands They have big plastic fermentors...15 gal starting at $159.14 They sell brewing Plate Chillers and he claims that his cone tanks work great for...

I like that completely filled, it is up to half the weight of a glass carboy. It is also much less dangerous if dropped. Other than that, it is a plastic carboy. What else can you say... Price Payed: $28.00 Recommended? Yes Pros: Light weight. Looks more professional. Get to watch the...

Welcome to the community. I haven't been at it long but I can tell you that I have learned way more than I could have imagined at this point. Hope to see you around!
