You got it. It's about ready to keg in about 4-6 days. And thanks for the input. As I said, I'm winging it. I've changed my next attempt to 11 Lbs 2-Row 3 Lbs 20 and 2 Lbs 60 and mashing at 148 for 90 minutes and then 156 for 40. We'll see.

This is what I got back after emailing Stone: "Mash low temp, 148-149, add equal proportions of Vic's and Ella in the dry-hop, and go overboard. *If you get a 3 gallon yield on a 5 gallon ferment that should be about right." My current attempt at a Thunderstruck clone came in way short on the...

You might want to put a circulation fan in there if you're worried about it (you can find small AC powered fans on Amazon for around $20) but you should be OK. Oh, and make sure your wife doesn't read this. Calling her things "junk" is probably not a good idea.

Has anyone (besides me) lost the pump filter during boil? I'm pretty sure I must have knocked it off when I was stirring the wort (got a little over zealous). I've got a hop spider so hopefully I won't clog the pump later but I was just wondering if I was the only one to see this. I know I...

I have 3 taps dedicated to beer and one to carbonated water. My keezer will hold 5 corny's with no trouble so I keep one filled with water under carbonation as a backup so that when the one that is tapped runs out I can just swap over to the other thus always having carbonated water on hand. And...

I was wondering the same thing. I just replaced 2 5-gallon Corny's today and that was a pain. Lifting a 15-gallon keg over the edge of a keezer sounds damn hard. I mean, that's close to 150 pounds!

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for but my Keezer is a collar keezer with a complete wood enclosure around the freezer and lid. If this is what you are looking for check out the YAKB (Yet Another Keezer Build) thread.

I did that to mine (see YAKB post) and have had no problems. I'm not that good of a carpenter so I knew that trying to install the controller on the front would be a disaster. I just took some silicone sealant and mounted the controller on the top-inside of the collar (for easy access). Has...

I used to do this when I was extract brewing. Although I wasn't so (please excuse the expression) fanatical about sterilizing the ice. I would just pop down to the local convenience store and get 2 or 3 bags of ice. A quick calculation gave me approximately 1 gallon for every bag of ice (3...

Thanks, I really like it. I've included the latest pic of it's current location and (hopefully) final touches. I got the bar towel rack and bottle opener attached and got it moved into the house. That was quite a job. I had to remove a section of railing from our deck, place a ramp and slide it...

Cool, I misunderstood. But I was mainly just trying to show the SS tiles I installed as an option to the sheet metal you had mentioned. Either way would look pretty nice.

Here's what I did: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=582964 It's not a new lid but you could you could do the sheet of ply that you suggested and finish it with the tiles I used.

Thanks for the kind words guys. The stainless tiles were my wife's idea. She mentioned seeing them somewhere and I just did a search on the Home Depot website. I just picked up a towel rack I'll be installing on the left front to hold a bar towel and a bottle opener with cap catcher to go on the...

I still have to figure out a handle to make it easier to open but for now it's done. The drip tray was pricey but well worth it IMHO. The faucets hold it in place so I didn't have to worry about drilling into the side of the freezer and hitting coolant lines. It does have a drain pipe on the...

OK, here's the project. I'm not sure yet how to edit this post with pictures so bear with me.

Well, I finally got my keezer finished this past weekend! I've had it running for about 3 weeks to make sure it would hold temps, even with it sitting outside in the Arizona sun. It's kept the inside at a nice 37 degrees. I'm using an InkBird temp controller. I originally was going with the...

Looks good dude. After thinking more on my original reply (about building a stand for it) I came to the realization that maybe you could just place this on a counter in which case that faucet would probably be perfectly located. Just a random thought.

Something I just thought of, since you moved the temp probe away from direct contact with the freezer section you might have trouble with over-cooling of the chamber. The probe and adjustment would have been calibrated for direct contact with the freezer. I remember I had trouble when I moved...

Very nice, and it looks a lot like the way my old store-bought kegerator (soon to be replaced with a keezer) had all the coolant lines along the back inside the unit. Remember though that you will probably have to deal with massive amounts of frost build-up around the coolant lines. As for a...
