I used to help out my dad with brewing when I was like 4 or 5 and loved it.

If it doesn't work, I'll buy the drain tray for a few bucks. ;)

44? Thats awesome! I'm excited to get mine in.

Pretty much no fridges can have the freezer removed. The freezer is what cools the whole thing down. I had to go with a wine cooler, rather than a couple mini fridges that I have laying around. Only problem is my cooler only cools to 40* and for some reason my beer only gets to 48ish

This past batch I was aerating and my carefully cleaned and sanitized whisk suddenly came apart and sank. I was left holding the handle, which I saw was rusted on the inside, so I freaked and shoved my arm into it to grab the other piece of the whisk. We'll see how it turns out. :p When I racked...

From eastern WA also and never boiled or filtered. Never really thought about killing the bacteria first. And I would never use bottled water. Its quite frankly bs. Its city water, ran through a filter(if any), bottled, labeled, and price cranked up.

I wish I had a 3 gallon keg for things like that. They're so much more expensive though. :(

So my kegerator is using a wine cooler. The temp can only go down to 40*. I've had it set at 40* for the past few days and the coldest I draw out of the tap is 49*. Is this too warm for a kegerator? I haven't tried drinking it at that temp since one keg is a stout that hasn't ageed to my liking...

Still have a beer in the secondary. I want to make another beer, but I only have 2 kegs.

*shrugs* Last time I checked, you don't need to be 21 to buy bottle caps.

Sent my money for 2! I'm excited. I'm so tired of sticking taps.

That might be the reason for my stout not tasting very well. I'm not experienced with kegging to really know how to figure out what I should pressurize my beer at.

Still letting it age. I tried it last night and its not very good yet. But I am very critical about my brews.

Hmm, interesting. I haven't bought much beer from him, just ingredients. I like the one on Indian Trail. Rocket Bakery I've never had beer at, I was turned off by them when they repeatedly gave me bad coffee and old bakery items. The Viking, though, I love! Decent price for a pint, and lots...

Jims is still around. However I wouldn't recommend going there just for beer. They have some hard to find beers, but many of them can be found around. Jim's, while I love them, cranks up the price for all of their bottles. Bottles, located in Millwood next to the Rocket Bakery, is good. I...

Nice, thanks. I didn't see that. :)

For graduation and my birthday I got a kegerator kit, which I have been trying to budget in for a while now. I had a counterhigh mini fridge that I wanted to use it with and I thought it would fit. Once I got the kit, I tried putting the kegs in and they wouldn't fit at all. So I started...

This last batch was my worst, and the first time I did it alone too. Forgot to add the malt till I was almost done. I had carapils and never used them before. Well the recipe never said to steep them. I thought I was supposed to add them at the end so I poured them in, then reread the recipe...

I just got my ingredients in today and I'll be brewing this on Saturday. Just to be sure, Dextrine is also called Carapils(Austin Homebrew Supply), correct? Or did I screw that up?

Are you using chocolate milk mix? Or actual 100% cocoa?
