Can the same setup be used for the 10 gallon 120v Boilcoil? I assume I can always upgrade to a PID down the road.

So what are the requirements for attending?

I'm in. I've been wanting to try make homemade soda for a while.

I've used something similar to Lukebuz: Apple cider vinegar(regular doesn't work, the apple cider is sweeter), and a couple of drops of dish soap in a 20 oz bottle. Inverting the top may help, but I usually don't, I just periodically check the bottle and if there are some in there, I close it...

SwissCheese, I'm looking to put a 10 Gallon Boilcoil into my 10 Gallon Bayou Classic Kettle(I still need to measure to make sure it will fit). My only concern is that I'll likely need to build a control panel like yours. How hard was it to build? Do you happen to have a parts list?

I currently use a similar system called Tap a Draft. I live in a small-ish townhouse, and dont have the space for a kegging system. It's been working out pretty well. My system uses 1.5 gal bottles, but it's easy to clean and maintain. The cartridges are a little crazy, but someone figured...

I have a tap a draft system that use 1.5 gal bottles. I brought two down to VA(From MA) last year to drink with my friends. Just put them in a cooler with ice. Even stopped at a hotel on the way down for the night. Opened the cooler before setting out, and it didn't look like any ice had...

Motley, I'm in the same boat, I don't have a ton of space to keep my brewing supplies so I work off 2 5 Gallon BKs, a propane burner, and 2 plastic fermenters. I typically do 3.5-4.25 gallon BIABs, though I've been mostly doing extracts lately because of time limitations. None the less though...

I do 3 gallon BIAB in my 5 Gallon BKs. It's pretty much the biggest all grain that fits in it depending on the grain load. I just put it on my propane burner, and closely monitor the heat. It gets too low, turn it on, pull the bag up a bit to prevent it from burning, and stir. turn it off...

Small world. Sadly I wont be able to attend the MA meetup. But id definitely interested in gettinb to know some of the local brewers around here.

sbrann, I'm in the greater Lowell area, so that's vaguely in the northern MA/NH boarder region.

I just brewed the Smashed pumpkin extract kit from NB on 8/24. Basically they call for adding the pumpkin during the steeping grains. On the directions is also recommended adding 3-4 lbs of 6-row at the same time. I did that as well. Smelled good, it's still fermenting right now, and I'll...

I started off with a Brooklyn Brew Shop, and did a few 1 Gallon BIAB batches before moving on to bigger. I used the 1 gallon carboys you can get at the Homebrew store. Plus they are fairly cheap if I recall. Even though I dont use them much I keep a couple of them for experiments and things...

For those of you that are saying and/or thinking that a full kegging setup is too much or to expensive there is a half way point. I hated bottling as well (though I still bottle about 1/3 of each batch to give out), so I looked into Kegging. My problem is that I really dont have the space...

OP, I was in the same boat as you. The only difference is that my wife and daughter both hated the smell of the brewing process. So much so that this spring my wife bought me a propane burner. I now have 2-3 batches on it. I just set it out in the driveway in front of the garage, keep the...

I have the Cereal Killer, and it works great. You need to be careful when you first set the gap, but other than tightening it from time to time, I've never had a problem with it.

Honestly, I love it. I've put 3 different beers into the 3 bottles I had from my first kit. Other than some issues putting in the CO2 carts(no different than my paintball guns from time to time), I haven't had any issues. I LOVE not having to clean, sanatize, or store tons of bottles. If I...

Ok short story first. Last summer I took a case(24) of various beers with my family driving down the east coast to VA to visit some friends. Well apparently between being moved around during the trip and the the warm temps I ended up with some over foaming and even worse, exploding bottles...
