Looks great in the house! Well done!

Good design! Looking forward to the progress photos!

This is one of the best keezer builds I've seen. So much attention to detail! Good work! I'm not hatting on it one bit, but IMO I would replace the chalk board tap handles with something different. I've seen them before in my LHBS and they are nice, but it doesn't flow with the rest of your...

Just kegged tonight and my hydrometer readings were 1.022. Not too far off from where I was shooting for. OG 1.069...a little big for a Brown but it's DAMN tasty.

I just found some information out on the world wide web confirming that refractometers readings post fermentation need further calculations. "Refractometers are a great way to sample gravity, however once alcohol is created during fermentation they will require a few calculations to correct the...

This makes me wonder if I'm having the same issue with my refractometer. I brewed a brown almost a couple weeks ago, pitched a 1200ml starter of 1056, oxygenated the wort, and control fermented at around 66-67 degrees for 9 days - gravity was at 1.035. Kicked it up a few days ago to 68-70 for a...

I recently made my own mash paddle out of maple (2-row design). I've used it several times and left the maple as-is and unfinished. Works great!

Ahhh....very good point! Never thought of that. That would give me time to save up if I decided to add cherries. I reached out to one of my club members who works for Sysco and he gave me this estimate for what he could get. 5 LB CS SYS IMP CHERRY DRIED $38.57 5LB CS...

What type of cherries do you guys suggest? I'm filling a Templeton Rye barrel with an imperial cherry stout and I'm looking for some bulk cherries to buy that won't break the bank...too much. Overall I'll probably need 60# of cherries.

Star san is good for cleaning your copper chiller too. Let it sit for a while and when you pull it out it will be nice and shiney.

I just purchased the same freezer on Craig’s List for $50 a month ago - killer deal. Did anyone figure out how to remove the rods? I removed the bolts on the back and tried to pry the things out for a while with no luck. Not even sure what the hell the bolts are for. I decided to just...

Another option could be a stained and sealed concrete floor. Low maintenance and fairly inexpensive. Just an idea.

I seem to think I'm rather organized, but I still find myself searching for misplaced items - leaving it in the kitchen or the basement once I've cleaned it... I'm currently using an unused kitchen cart in my garage for my storage of brewing equipment. It's quite handy and holds most of my...

Bad idea to read this thread at 11:45 at night... -as Chris Farley would say "Back off lady I'M STARVING!!!" I think I'm going to make a few different types of pickled concoctions. 1. Pickled sausage (baked), onion, jalapeños 2. Pickled sausage (baked), onion, peno's and habaneros...or just...

From what I've read...and can remember, smoking chicken pieces isn't as beneficial as smoking a whole chicken. You’ll have more juices with a whole chicken rather than just the legs. I have smoked some chicken breasts before and they turned out ok, but a little dry and burnt on the ends – I...
