Great post for sure! I was out of brewing for many years and just got back into it this year. Friends and family have told me I need to enter my beers and even sell them. Well being my own worst critic/judge I won't enter something till I feel I am comfortable with it, especially just getting...

Yeah, I was not thinking of completely purging the built up co2 but rather after a few days a quick purge to force out oxygen sitting on top then another quick purge a few more days later and then not touch again till moving to kegerator. Also was not worried to much about completely carbing...

I am new to kegging my self and have a couple questions regarding this as well. Wouldn't moving to secondary impose more o2 concern then racking to a keg for the same purpose? Seems to me a secondary carboy or bucket has more surface space and potentially more o2 absorption potential? Not to...

Yeast rafts perhaps? Pics worth well you know! If its not hairy then RDWHAHB!

I am usually there just about every Friday my self. You can usually spot me pretty easy, I have the growler with a koozie that has a Sculpin IPA label on it. And my daughter(3 y/o) is usually having fun making new friends. She is a very outgoing little person.

Alright, more San Diego people! Still say we need to meet up at ballast/home brew mart one night!

I purchased with in that time frame and received the warning from AHS. Very nice heads up from them. I reviewed my account and did not notice anything out of the ordinary. Last week I took the family to Disneyland for the day and first thing we did was grab breakfast. When I went to pay the...

I just converted my 4912M a couple weeks ago. After a leap of faith from all that I read here and other write ups, I just drilled right down the middle with a 1 3/4 hole saw with no problems. I am now happily enjoying my new kegerator...

Well, here are a few pics from the process, only from the cell phone but they give an idea. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a199/Balue3/Beer/IMG_20110217_193013.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a199/Balue3/Beer/IMG_20110218_225508.jpg...

Yeah I poured me a few pints of it last night, was a great night. SWMBO was at work, our daughter went down early. I was able to just sit there and bask in my glory! :ban: Pour a pint, stare at it, smile at it, then down it. Repeat as necessary! I Was half tempted to pour one this morning...

Success!!! Well brewed SWMBO a WIT beer a few weeks ago not my beer of choice but had to please her for letting me "extend" our kitchen counter this past weekend by building a kegerator. Racked the WIT to a keg and boosted it for 24 hrs then turned it down. After 4 more days I could not hold out...

Cheers!!! Popped a bottle last night after 3 weeks primary and 2.5 in bottle, this is one good beer and I am officially chilling a bunch tomorrow to drink with friends and fam on the weekend! :tank: This is going to be one GREAT weekend! Plus the two tap kegerator went together nicely and...

Just scored an excellent Sanyo 4912 off of craigs list for $50, it is currently holing a steady 38 degrees. Going to stop by the beverage warehouse tomorrow to pick up stuff for a dual tap tower and some corny's tomorrow! :ban: Gonna be busy this weekend! So I can just drill a 2" hole dead...
