I'm on this wagon as well, but thinking of doing something similar to this: http://www.thegatesofdawn.ca/wordpress/homebrewing/wort_chiller/ My keggle is pretty much built https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/first-time-keggle-project-348547/ and like BrothOfVigor (nice Iron Chef reference, BTW...

Howdee, Austin down here!

Racked to secondary earlier today, did a hydrometer reading which was level at 1.020. Poured the remaining sample in a glass and put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes, then drank it up. It's pretty incredible as it is right now, even without carbonation and bottle conditioning.

No, I just went with the recipe up there in the thread and added Special B plus an extra 300g DME. Racked to secondary earlier today, did a hydrometer reading which was level at 1.020. Poured the remaining sample in a glass and put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes, then drank it up. It's...

Thanks! Oh, and my AC was repaired on Thursday. All hail the home warranty!

Did some drilling and mounting today... Ta-dah, as they say.

Damn, that's incredible. I think I just peed myself with envious delight.

After 26 days in primary, I'm gonna transfer to secondary this weekend just to clear things up a bit. I'll bottle in a couple of weeks, then the long wait 'til November or so, with a couple of bottles cracked along the way.

Oh, re: the dip/pickup tube, I'm planning on doing almost exactly what this gentleman has done below (shown at about 5:30), except I want to use a 45 degree elbow instead of 90 degrees to place the end of the tube not in the dead center of the keg bottom, but a little more past center to...

I don't remember what the cross member size is on the PVC tee, but the part that fits into the keg valve is 2". I knocked off some molded numbers and whatnot on the exterior that made it fit a little better, too. For the burner, I was hoping to buy a cheap one with a stand. I don't have a...

So, I've read that your propane burner should be as close as possible to the bottom of the keg. The inside diameter of the keg bottom ring is just under 14", I believe. Do the cheapo round-top burners usually fit up in there? I guess I need to make a trip to Academy or Walmart and check the...

Had some minor jaggies, but nothing the Dremel grinding wheel couldn't handle. Finished it up with some sandpaper and a fine sanding sponge to round the edges down.

A coworker had a 15-gallon keg sitting in his garage for the last year that he wanted to get rid of. I asked what he wanted for it, and to my surprise he said, "Oh, I dunno... Twenty bucks?" Snag. :rockin: Here's video of the disassembly and top-cutting... http://youtu.be/ULJvCbk0xL8...

I think I'm pretty much bottomed out! The recipe (can't help thinking of the Baldwin Sisters from The Waltons every time I utter that phrase) called for 1.020 FG, so I'm gonna take another reading toward the end of the weeks and see if we're holding steady. OG was 1.065, so I'm gonna just round...

I'm currently waiting this one out through primary: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/feedback-idea-christmas-fruitcake-stout-340227/ :ban:

Hey Scurry, how's that Arm & Chuck going?

Okay, we're in at just over week with temps held fairly consistently between 63–68 degrees. I forgot to swap out my ice bottles once and it spiked to around 74 for a 4-5 hours at most. I'm wondering how long I should keep the swamp cooler going? If I let it get to room temp, it probably...

Question is, did you take pictures of the carnage? :D
