Pics relating to my Keezer

On the can of appliance paint I bought it says specifically not to prime.

This is my final picture. I have siliconed my inside corners and I put weather stripping on the bottom of the collar. I used construction adhesive to secure the lid to the top of the collar. I threw away the old gasket and took the plastic inside liner that holds the insulation in and tucked it...

I bought an old 7 CF Frigidaire chest freezer from a co-worker for $75 bucks. I can fit 3 ball locks on the floor and 1 on the hump with a 20# co2 tank. I have been working on this for 2 days. I never have stained anything so I messed it up and had to sand off my first attempt. I also forgot to...

I recently got a CFC chiller so I am going to use the old immersion chiller as a pre chiller. I wish our water lines were buried a lot deeper. The underground at 4 feet of depth is supposed to be 55 deg. We get our water from the Rio Grande (yuck I know) it's just hot I guess. In the summer the...

Ground water temp here on the Texas/Mexico border is about 110 in June, July, August, and September. That's a nice coil by the way. A lot more consistant then when I did it.

I feed mine every 12 hours if its at room temp (and if I can remember). I move it to the fridge most of the time but I feed it right before. It last about a week before it starts to get nasty. I hear the sourdough starter from king Arthur is good. Also try reading WWW.sourdoughhome.com. It is a...

I brewed the raspberry wheat to try and clone a beer that is from a chain of microbreweries where the Mrs. is from. I ended up drinking about 3/4s of the batch. Cause its so delicious :) So if that makes me gay I'm out of the closet. It kind of reminded me of being a kid again. When I would go...

San Antonio. I like walking into a brick and mortar store. There is another HBS in San Antonio ill try there next time. I don't think the shop was bad. If I would have come in with an ingredient list I'm sure he would of helped gather the ingredients quickly. I just didn't get the personable...

Yeah 3 hours is a long way. I drive 3 hours for anything I cant get at walmart. Maybe I should just stick to what I've been doing. (Reading articles/posts on the internet and buying from Austin Homebrew.

Yeah I'll try again next time I'm into town probably. He did give me his card and tell him to call if I needed anything. I guess the more I think about it. He thought, I came in talked his ear off and wasn't going to buy anything. When I asked him for to bag up some items his demeanor did...

You know you're right. People are just human. To be honest I probably did ramble on about brewing because I don't have have anyone to talk to about it. I was excited to check out a HBS and get a suggestion about an IPA to brew. But all he did was point to a book. The guy had a little serving bar...

I haven't been in a LHBS in 15 years. Before the guys at the store were super helpful and knowledgeable. They were always itching to show off a new gadget or recommend some seasonal ingrediant. Now I live 3 hours from my LHBS I walked in for the first time today. I Mainly wanted a drilled...

We need to clearly define controller terminology here. Single stage - cooling or heating only Duel stage - heating and cooling (I.e. stc 1000) Two stage - one controller two temp probes.
