Great, this was kinda what I was thinking. Good stuff, thanks for the replies.

Couldn't find an answer on the forums with a quick search, so does anyone have insight as to when I should add the Milk Sugar for a sweet stout recipe? I've seen some examples that seem to indicate 15 minutes to kill any bacteria/pasteurize/whatever. That seems to make sense to me, but I've...

BJCP Beer fault guide suggests that metallic off flavors of iron, copper, coins, or blood are cause for the possible actions: Check water for metallic ions. Reduce water salts. Check equipment condition for rust. Make sure stainless steel equipment is properly passivated. Fully rinse sanitizer...

Let me caveat #1 by saying, don't secondary unless you're going for a long lagering or conditioning in bulk. Max time I think it's recommended to leave a beer in primary is about 4 weeks. Lots of folks will say they go longer, and I'm sure that's fine, but really after 4 weeks you've gotten...

1) Don't secondary. It's established now that secondary tanks were based on really old information and poor yeast health. You can secondary for dry-hopping if you want, but a lot of folks just do that in the primary if it's less than 2 oz of hops or so. If you're trying to wash/save yeast...

So...what was the answer?!

Everything looks awesome...except for one small thing. Is that a CORONA LIGHT?!?!?! :confused: JK, I love the DIY project - thinking a stir plate is up next for me.

1) In a 6.5 gallon carboy you can shake the s$%t out of 5 gallons of liquid! Grab 'er by the neck and let her have it! 2) I wouldn't put my yeast into 100degree water. That doesn't seem right; is that what the instructions tell you to do? 3) Don't stir while chilling the wort; I'd think...

Took the survey. What's the project all about?

Looking good!:mug: I just finished my own mini-kegerator build with a two-perlick tower rig. You're so right about the hidden costs of these things. Got the fridge for about 200 but then you tack on all the kegs/CO2/faucets/tools/etc and it really adds up! Are you going to insulate that...

You also have instructions to add 14qts up top then 12 qts down below for the mash-in. Which did you follow?

Awesome, thanks. So go straight from secondary to keg, crank on the CO2 and release it a few times to purge all O2, then leave it sit in the kegerator at serving temp and pressure. Thanks!

Hi all, I just picked up a mini fridge and ordered a kegging kit from kegconnection. Before I begin my foray into kegging, I just want to confirm that I have this process down as compared to bottling. First we ferment in the primary as normal, next we move to a secondary (if that's your...
