I can leave in keg as long as I need I have more kegs than secondary carboy's so maybe I'll leave it there longer like 2-3 months before bottle.

I brewed 10 gallons today and will be needing to use the carboy that the18% is in. I wont need it until racking to secondary so about another week -12days. I am thinking of putting it into the keg and hooking up the co2 and leaving it in the keezer about 36f. I plan on leaving it there for about...

what type of heat shield? the burner does have a 2" or so ring around it with some holes for air. Are you guys talking about enclosing it more like putting up metal around the legs of the burner? I know you cant completely cover so maybe put up some about 6" down or so?

I just used the keegel and did a 10 gal batch. I installed the weldless ss bale valve set up from bargain fittings. On the inside I used copper tube to the center of the keg and straight down with about 1/4" or less to the bottom open. Since I did a 10gal brew I hooked up a "T" and hoses to the...

Update for everyone. I scratched the hot water hook up idea for now. Just put the tub on hot and let it run for a few then filled up my bucket. That water temp was about 145f so not much more needed to bring to steeping temps. That helped since the outside water is about 45f. I also weighed the...

So I am reading about the banana beer now thinking about doing a strawberry/banana heff. How did it finally turn out?

Did you try any of that heff chasper?

I just read through the link parts list and guess what I have all that. I purchased my keg that I made into my kettle last month and the guy gave me two sanki taps with the picnic taps on them but I would prob never use I was gonna sell or trash they are prob junk anyway. I have a racking cain...

in my post no good question. I meant no it WAS A GOOD question I did like and will use the link for info and now most likely keg then bottle due to it being brought up. Also yooper thanks for researching the link and providing it. This is going to be a strong solution my some of the concerns I...

no good question good info. this is what the tread was started for. I like the keg to bottle idea best what parts would I need you said for like a dollar?

This should work for the pick now.

Still not sure about keg or bottle. I really dislike bottling a lot. I would put in keg with out hesitation I have empty's but not sure how long I can keep in there. I have never kept in keg long term. Would it be ok to keep in keg for 6months to a year as long as its hooked up to co2? If I did...

Chasper don't forget about the taste test and up date please.

I am sticking around and will keep doing what I want like I said before that's one of the reasons we home brew. It's to bad hbt doesn't allow some pic's like 3 or so for the non paying members. @Hap noting personal about the pic thing. I know the good people are worth it and well outnumbers the...

I just watched the mythbusters water heater video. The thing you guy's missed is they capped the pressure valve and disabled the controls. If I did use this I would be soldering a OPEN hose fitting no valve or cap off would always be open. I think if anything this would be good to check the...

Hmmmm I wonder why that makes no sense. I use hot water from the kitchen sink when I brew inside on the stove. As you know that comes from the hot water heater.

Yes water heater is in the garage. I have looked into converting the propane to nat gas or just buying a new burner not sure yet I will probe do some brews and see how it goes. I will build a nat gas burner stand set up if I go that way to keep cost down just purchase the burner. As far as code...

as to the avitar and photos oh well at this point I have NO interest in paying for this site. If you want to see the pics I put the link if it didn't work OH WELL.

Yeah D0ug I am happy with it up to this point. I did sample a little more last night when racking to secondary it is not overly sweet or off or bad tasting but has a strong alcohol taste and does burn a bit going down. And it's NOT dry like wine or champagne which I am happy about I don't like...
