finished mine last night. well, until i get more kegs and need more faucets. still working on paint. think i'm going to spray it gloss black with applicance paint, then airbrush my logo on it, and paint a strip of chalkboard paint above the taps

Thanks guys. I'll test as is with heat, and make changes as needed

thanks for the quick responses! ended up going out to the brewhouse and using both of your ideas. Unfortunately, i do not have the means to flare the copper, or the funds for pressure fittings at the moment. Like I said, i bought this stuff a few weeks ago, and then had some things happen that...

A few months back, I built (cheaply) an immersion wort chiller using 20 feet of 3/8 copper. I didn't purchase a tubing bender, and so i got a bunch of kink, and the damn thing spewed all over my first all grain wort. It had so many kinks, it was unusable and i threw it out. Fast forward to...

Yea I'm stoked. I'd never dry hopped (or kegged) before. Went to the LHBS to pick up some more cascade to dry hop with and he had just gotten in Simcoe. I'd never used it, but had heard great things. Used my theif to pull a sample before I kegged it, and damn. That was mighty tasty.

Just put this in the keg. It was my first AG batch, so I figured it should also be my first kegged batch. I dry hopped with 2 oz of Simcoe. That was my only change. Tasted awesome going into the keg. I'm glad because this is my most expensive beer. Between the burner and kettle, mash tun...

Just finished a bells two hearted. Just cracked open a gumball head

I've been trying to figure that out for a month

Cool thanks. Figured it'd be simple. I thought about Putting the strainer on the end of the hose, but wasn't sure if that would aerate the beer going into the keg. On a positive note, the beer tasted super good. Followed the recipe exactly using cascade but ended up dry hopping with 2oz of...

Bought a keg setup today and got everything cleaned and ready. When it came time to rack into the keg, I couldn't figure out the best way to get the paint strainer to stay attached to the auto siphon (I dry hopped w pellets). Ended up using zip ties. Had to cram it down into the neck of the...

pretty sure the iodine test is only for all grain. that being said, if you did the iodine test after your mash, and the sugars converted correctly, the color should not change. if it changes to black, you did not have conversion.

5 for me. Bottling in a few weeks

If you wanted to do it quicker, you could just make hop tea.

If you get a basic setup, it's not that bad. It's the additional cornies, faucets, and other stuff that adds up. I'm about to buy a keg setup, and until I'm in a position to build a keezer or find a decent kegerator on CL, I'll just use the tap that comes with it.

Holy **** man. Glad you guys are alright.

How did this turn out?

Any update?

Ended up dry hopping with 2 ounces of Simcoe.

+1 I've read "how to brew", "the complete joy of homebrewing", and one that I can't remember the name of (I just gave it away). howtobrew.com is the online version of How To Brew. However, it is the first edition. I'd highly recommend going to a bookstore and picking up the newest edition. It's...
