That pretty much sums up all of my thoughts and fears - but it does raise the better question. All of this hard work and effort will only produce a clearer, but almost unavoidably oxidized beer. Do judges base their scores on sediment amounts? There's not a lot, but there are a few floaters...

I have a batch of Pumpkin Ale that I am going to enter in a local competition, but somehow they ended up with excess sediment. Any ideas on how to re-bottle them and remove the sediment?

That makes sense - thanks

When changing the boil size from 5 gallons to my 3 gallon partial mash brew pot it dramatically changes the IBU's - I'm relatively new with building recipes, do I really need to use considerably more hops when doing a smaller boil or do I have a setting out of whack in Beersmith?

Yes it will - You used the right glue, but between a lid that I assume is a textured finish and a probably moisture problem, it's just letting loose. Keep in mind that when you put the particle board on the top, you will increase the size of the top so you will not be able to use the same...

Yeah - A messy shop. I do like me Jet tools too - they are a great tool at a great price.

Thanks! It has been a lot of fun to build. The wood on the sides does not seem to be a problem at all. Stays at a consistent 38 - compressor doesn't seem to run to often or too long. If you do it, I would recommend just permanently mounting the tower or tap box to the top. I spent a lot...

Holiday 5.3 cu ft at Lowe's - $178 Here's a pic of mine - 3 cornies with a 5# tank inside

Frigidaire makes a 25 cu ft for $850 retail - readily available at $749 - that not withstanding - the thing's freakin' huge - 6 foot wide + on the multi-task - or get ready to drink :mug:

I use Wit yeast - Wyeast 3944 for my Blue Moon-ish wit. I am not familiar with Saison yeast, but after looking at the Wyeast description of the yeast it doesn't look like it would be out of line. I'd say give it more time - two weeks in the bottle is still pretty green - go buy some Blue Moon...

Since I have finally managed to outproduce consumption :drunk:, I have started naturally carbing by boiling about 3 oz of priming sugar in water, adding that when I rack the keg, and then purge the oxygen of the top and store. I just put the first keg that I have done that to on the tap, and it...

They are cool looking bottles - are you going to leave the original Pepsi logos on, or try to get them off?

I don't know about cleaning out the dirt, but since they are old Pepsi bottles, they are probably clear. If that's the case, I would be worried about all of my fine beer tasting like Heineken. Stay away from the light!

Here's my completed keezer - A Holiday 5.0 cu ft from Lowes - Built to match the in wall bar adjacent to it in the basement Currently a Brown Ale, Black Lager, and a Double IPA on tap.

Here is the completed product (less handles) in place in it's new home And a pic of the adjacent bar that it matches Cheers!

I don't know what effect it will have, but I will let everyone know if I experience any problems with it. Do you suppose I affected the warranty?:D

I will post in the kegerator thread, but I figure I'll wait till I at least get it out of the shop and into place. It'll look a little more at home there.

It's just 1/4" plywood. I think it'll be ok - it's been cooling for two weeks with the left and right sides on, front's been on for over a week.
