nice progress. planning my own Nano as we speak, but dont have the land so renting an Industrial Space...

made an all Citra IPA with 4 oz of Citra and we loved it. very citrusy for sure, but we like that. Also we split the batch and did a half batch of it on Pineapple for a Pineapple Citra IPA, man that was a Citrus Explosion of awesome.

ive added 2 beans to 5 gallons and that seems to do the trick. i did use 2 in a 2.5 gallon batch for a very very nice vanilla taste, but it was very primary. Id stick with 2 and taste it every day until you like it. Also, remember vanilla fades with time so if its too much >>> RDWHAHB and wait.

i cant imagine it wont work, but like i said. if you can fit in into the mini fridge and temp control the air, i don't foresee any issues. The brewery i speak of has great beer and i have never tasted any off flavors resultant from temperature problems in fermentation. and they brew a LOT, since...

if they are the same as the us plastics ones, then they are. i know of a commercial brewery that use them because they are cheap and food safe and that is where they got them.

simply putting them in a temperature controlled room will work. there is a bit of mass but ive seen a brewery use the 110 gallon model and simply use a temperature controlled room at 62 degrees (they primarily use cali ale yeast from white labs) with a simple ac unit attached. they also have...

thats great to know, im thinking about investing in some of these at some point.

ive seen these other places where they are food grade, but if i am not mistaken a bit more expensive? if they are cheaper ones they could be because they were rejected for food grade.

yeah i want to know that too

oh also, my fridge was a bit narrower than most and i overlapped the insulation so there was less room to have the kegs sit side-by-side

i bought a 10x1 white board (had them cut it) at home depot plus insulation. I then used window weather stripping and velcro (although you could use a latch but velcro was cheaper) to hold the door shut. I simply removed the brackets that hung the door from the fridge and moved them to my...

this is what i did, you can see i put a collar around the front and remounted the door with the shelves still on it. that way i can have hops n stuff in there. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m58/VanHorneDog/Bah.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m58/VanHorneDog/bah2.jpg

awesome!

the deposit is if you break it, not so you can steal it.

on a side not if you live in the San Diego area i have a used once Trashcan Dispenser for sale, includes taps, beer lines, gas lines and regulator. PM me for picture, cost me like 200 to build, will part with it for 180. ;)

built one of these the other week, for my buddies wedding (i know classy right? but it was the after reception party) we can get 3 kegs in it, put two taps on it and a picnic tap inside.

3.5 inches to center if you want oversized tap handles. i did 3 inches and i have to tilt my handles sometimes to make em fit.

we do 5 gallons with 6.5 gallons for boil. last couple times i took a reading of the last part of the runnings and it was like 1.018, so obviously we still had plenty of sugar in there.

sweet guys thanks, i think we figured out our issue, sparging for like 20-25 minutes sometimes, obvously not enough time for the sugars to get stripped away. so do we know what rate that is? ive heard a pint a minute? which is a gallon every 8 minutes giving us 45-60 minutes? give or take a...

Quick questions, what temp do you guys use for your sparge water and how long do you sparge?
