Located in SW Michigan...I am looking for 2-4 Sanke 1/4 barrel slim kegs. Who can help me out? My brewing process is constantly changing and I am looking to get out of Corny kegs and just ferment and serve in the 1/4 slims. Please let me know!

The krausen has fallen!!! Raising temp over the next few days for diacetyl release, then racking off to sit at 32 for 14 days! So excited!!

2 pkg W-34/70 dry…fermenting @ 56F Started fermenting this past Sunday.

Alright…I’ll bite… What does RDWHAHB stand for?

First time brewing beer…and I’m kinda freaking out. The white areas in the krausen is where it’s bubbling through “cracks” in the krausen itself. It’s not “fuzzy” or round spots as I would think a pellicle infection would look like. Am I overreacting? Sorry for the poor photo quality…

A jar…🤦🏻‍♂️ sometimes the simplest solutions are the hardest ones to think of. Do you happen to have a link to that rechargeable dehumidifier? That’s pretty interesting.

I actually did make a “hat” for it. I had a half sheet of 2” thick styrofoam in my attic (don’t ask) and cut 4 circles out of it to raise the top so everything fits inside. The only thing I think I’m going to change is the carboy. I usually use all glass (because that’s all I have) but I think...

I am considering getting a small (5-7 gallon) used oak barrel to add a little "something" to my cider/beer making. It will be a one-time use whiskey barrel...and my thoughts are to wash it then use Star-San to sanitize it. My first use of it will be to fill it with purified water and let the...

I can pick one of these up for CHEAP. It's 30" deep with a 21" inside diameter...which is a perfect fit for a 6-gallon carboy. What think you all?

Crap…didn’t notice that. You’re correct about the shelves. Ok…back to the drawing board.

Alrighty...not a lot of ambiguity in that answer. LOL

I am tired of switching my kegs from my Keezer to my fridge when I want to brew some tasty beverages...so I'm in the early planning stages of making a fermenting chamber. I usually only make 5.5 gallons of beer at a time (I like both cider and beer), so the chamber only has to fit one carboy at...

Correct. Do you think it would matter much if my fermentation temp is a few degrees cooler? Like 53 degrees?

PM sent.

Not selling the kegs?

Yep...

Anyone in the South West side of Michigan (Grand Rapids area, but am willing to drive) have a short 1/4 barrel they are looking to get rid of?

So, I recently acquired a 1/2 barrel and an older Sanke wing handle coupler and I want to convert it to have ball lock fittings. The “beer out” won’t be an issue, but the “gas in” has me confused. Anyone ever seen one like this? Is it even worth converting the gas line?

Ok...I know that this is kinda an old thread, but I want to give this a try. HOWEVER...this will be my first attempt at making beer as I've been tinkering with cider for about 5 months. Is this too complicated or complex for me to try as my first beer? I really enjoy Modelo and would like to...
