There was a good thread .... I think on here about re-using the Heineken mini kegs for home brew. A search should bring it up.

Excellent ... thanks for the explanation :mug: The other reason I was asking was that I'm reading the 'Brewmaster's Bible at the moment. And it mentions pouring the wort into a primary bucket filled with cold water. So I also wondered if there would be any ill effects from pouring the wort...

Thanks, that's good to know. I'm hoping to get some kind of wort chiller at some point as well as soon as I can convince my mrs that it is essential for our well being that we have one ;)

:D Nope .... no daredevil here. Tongue in cheek comments obviously don't translate well. It was just a question ... no need to involve the spanish inquisition :)

I didn't think I was breaking any new ground. Sorry mate I didn't see Alton Brown do it ... generally I don't watch TV. It was simply a question. Calm down ... have a beer and a bacon samwich .... perhaps take the dog for a walk.

Apart from the risk of infection. If the containers themselves are sanitized and the ice water has been previously boiled in order to mitigate the risk of infection. Are there any negative effects of essentially flash cooling the wort? Or am I the only once crazy enough to attempt it? :)

I'm sure it is taught in HS physics. Of course I went to a secondary school in the UK and physics was an elective. So I'll try to reword the question. What does this have to do with cooling down wort? i.e. Is there a negative effect of using ice and/or icewater directly in the wort...

Did anyone end up making a clone of St.Peters Cream Stout? It's still my personal favorite beer. Sorry for resurrecting an old thread :)

Is this one of those Kompella or LaSerre things?

Sorry ... not big into physics ..... dya wanna dumb it down for the likes of me? :D

Zombie thread resurrection warning :D I did this very thing the other month with my saison .... but instead of one gallon of spring water ... I used 3 gallons straight into the kettle while it was sitting in an icewater bath (freezer packs in tap water). Seemed to bring the temp down to...

Dunno about the ragtime ... maybe some 'Chas and Dave' :D

Here's what I have found so far ... I think this is most definitely a doable. Now to find a freebie piano and convince my Mrs to let me dismantle it in the garage

:D I like that thought :D

:( Non-working pianos that would end up in land fills

Firstly sorry to the pianists and purists out there ... Oh and sorry if this has been raised before .. I did a search but nothing came back. Has anyone converted an upright piano into a kegerator/bar yet? I was browsing through craigslist and came across an upright piano free for the...

Thanks for the pointers. I'd messed up and left the pressure off the keg. Thankfully I had willing hands to polish off the keg on Saturday night :tank: Now have a saison in the fermenter so will take a stab again once that's ready to keg.

:mug: Thanks .... 5th pint in and no ill effects to report. One thing I have noticed is that the beer now is less carbonated (almost to the point of being flat)? Yet there is plenty of foam :confused:

I hope this is the right place to pose this one. If not my apologies in advance. This is another one of those ..... "Have I ruined my beer?" Questions. Three weeks ago I tried my brew for the first time and it was awful .... a very foamy ... but flat ESB. I did a force carbonation (also...

Thanks :mug: It's possible - I'll have to refresh my taste buds to licorice. The other thought I had was perhaps roasted vanilla ... What confuses me is that so far there are only two stouts I've tasted that have this 'unique' after taste.
