I used to work with a guy whose wife won a life-sized Darth Maul statue when those crappy Star Wars movies came out. It spent many years in his basement, and scared the crap out of everybody who went down there!

How sad. My favorite/only LHBS closed a few years ago. I don't do full bags, but have just started ordering online. And it's fine. Just not quite as fun as going to the store to stock up/ shoot the breeze.

I generally don't drink except on Friday thru Sunday. And then its maybe 1 or 2 at the most. I can't think of the last time I was "drunk." But I sometimes take a couple weeks off due to circumstances, like visiting family out of town. And it does make it taste a little better if it's been...

I made that exact argument with my wife. "We need this fridge to store milk." Though we went 4.3. It just happens to be big enough for a carboy . . . I haven't done it yet, but I'm planning to remove the freezer. Or at least bend it out of the way, ever so carefully.

This is my first thoughts. And FWIW if you buy an "auto-defrost" freezer it won't have the lines in the shelves. Usually.

As long as you know what's going into it. One time I mixed all my odds and ends spices and rubbed a pork butt with it. It was wonderful, but impossible to reproduce.

What is this "brew room" that you speak of? ;) But I really like the heavy duty metal shelves you got from Home Depot. The kind that are rated for 1200 lbs or something crazy. The wire rack ones are nice too, but can be flimsy. Having something like this on casters is nice, but may not...

That was my original plan. My kegarator is half keg, half freezer. Originally planned on doing what you said, but then didn't. Then my wife wanted a fridge for baby milk and baby food. I happened to buy one that will fit my carboy inside . . .

I simply want to try to lager. I bought a small fridge that a carboy will fit into, but there we filled it up with crap during the pandemic. I think I may empty it soon and then can install my controller and achieve my lager.

I would also worry about tying up your brewing vessel. I often times brew two batches in a day. But I have looked into the Keg fermenting though. That seems like it could save some equipment and time?

I actually LOL'd on this one. I hate little yappy dogs.

I like coconut water with a little rum and some citrus. Maybe this would be along those lines!

I'm all for DIY'ing things, but malting your own grain seems like a lot of work. Interesting, but a lot of work.

Hey that's a local Des Moines news team

I'm sorry, but this is kinda funny. Especially if the beer survives

You are right. At lot has happened since I moved here in 2006, even!

Awesome! A lot of life has happened since I was there in 2013. :) Here is my picture. Not mine, but one I found on the web.

I have tried this. Added a few pellets to a glass of Bud Light. I don't think it added anything. I think it may work if you crushed it up, but like mentioned I didn't want to do that. My kids like these Kool-Aid squirt bottles things, that I recall somebody made a "hop version" at one time...

That's the south bank of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia! I spend a few days of my honeymoon in the Hilton down that street on the left.

Hope it works out for you! My main fridge starting doing this and it was expensive control panel of some sort.
