If you are lucky the scrapyard will have one. That is where I picked up one of my 2. Incidently(?) the other one came from the Bud distributor in town. The mother of my son's best friend works in the front office. It's pretty damn new. Almost too nice to turn into a keggle/HLT, almost...

I haven't had any problems with blowoff tubes. Just check it from time to time to make sure things look good and it's clear.

that's pretty cool! :)

noob question - any particular type of yeast better than the other?

This is exactly what I did a few weeks ago. I buddy of mine gave me an old dorm fridge he found while trash picking. I took the freezer hardware out and just straightened out the metal freezer/cooling plate. Also had to take off the door shelves to get the door to shut with the carboy in it...

Listening to my on-line tax class, drinking a SA Octoberfest. I'll need a few more just to make it through!!

SWMBO cut him off??

Brewham - excellent idea. Way to "think outside the brew pot"!! As a nOOb I try to follow instructions exactly. That's why I love this forum.

Call a local metal scrap yard. Got mine for $30.

that is sweet. I too love the drip tray.

They are the ceramic lids too. I just checked e-bay, they are selling them for $3 a piece. Almost feel bad using them for beer.....almost.

A buddy of my dad's was getting rid of some beer bottles his father had. I just started kegging but said what the heck, I'll see what he had. 125 brown Grolsch 16oz swing top bottles for $50. Actual Grolsh bottles, not the generic knock offs. Can't beat that so had to snach them up...

Nope, but I will now!!

I've seen them at my local grocery store, Hy-Vee, in the beer/liquor section.

Got it. I am looking to go AG and have a Sanke to use as either a HLT or MLT. Don't know if I should use it for the HLT and try and find another sanke for MLT, or buy a cooler for the MLT. Any thoughts?

Noob question...with a bottom draining HLT what do you use as your heating element? Can't use a propane burner can you? Wouldn't it damage the copper fittings? I assume this is not an issue for the MLT since you are not applying heat to it, correct?

Sweet!! Thanks for the heads up. Just got one myself.

Thanks for the recipe. I'll have to give it a shot. SWMBO is not a big beer fan but loves the hard lemonade.

Got it. Thanks RAM!

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. I saved some of the yeast so I could make another batch later. I assume I can just use this as my yeast cake. Noob question....when people say "rack on a yeast cake" does this mean you put the yeast in first and then rack the wort/beer on top? I thougt ale...
