I feel dirty and ashamed for leaving this classic out for so long- www.youtube.com/watch?v=952h-AJ3Bcg&feature=related

One of my favorites-

Did a batch of this per the recipe, one of the best beers I've made- great roasted jalapeno flavor and a light spice flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

Flowers on the Wall- Thanks for the posting tips Dan! Who says beer can't make you smarter!

If only I were smart enough to post a you tube link... Statler Brothers, Flowers on the Wall counting flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all, playing Solitaire til dawn, with a deck of 51, smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo, now don't tell me I've nothing to...

I finished a keezer with the same design and same approx size (5 cu ft) about a month ago- hinges on the collar topped with a piece of plywood instead of the original lid. Seemed like a good way to get the alignment correct. I used 1" foam board and caulked all the joints, doesn't cycle on and...

18 with 2 planned this month to get to a total of 20 in the first year-

first 5 gallon batch- used 1# corn sugar & 1# dark brown sugar- still fermenting! 22,692+5= 22,697

It's a Frigidaire, not sure of the model- it's a few years old and i bought it on CL for $40. It works great, haven't had any issues with it and has a decent amount of room for how small it is. I just started kegging, and I'm sure I will eventually get the "bigger is better" bug, but for now it...

Ithaca labels come off easily- someone gave me some Amstel Light bottles that i threw away- nightmare! Also dead on with the Southern Tier- great beer and easy labels to remove.

It's from a soft serve ice cream machine a friend didn't need. I glued a piece of wood with countersunk screws facing out to the side of the freezer. The holes in the tray line up and I use wing nuts for easy on & off for cleaning until I get the plumbing hooked up.

Small 5 cubic ft keezer- had to go small, I don't have a lot of room for something larger. It fits 3 kegs, currently have 2 on co2 and plan on adding nitrogen for a tap in the center. I drilled and plugged the center tap hole so I have no choice but to add on!

Sorry about the ice comment, I use a stem thermometer that's 0-220- looked at the pic of yours after posting and thought :o oops,...

Put your thermometer stem in a glass with ice water- more ice than water (60/40ish) and it should read 32 deg F

In the Jan/Feb issue of Zymurgy they have a gadget article and someone submitted that they use plastic Chinese food containers- a lid with 3/8" drilled holes that attaches to the bottom of the container drilled with 1/16" holes. A shallow layer of ice melt is put in the bottom of the container...

Here is how it looks all together- gonna start out using the hand crank to get in shape for golf season (blatant lie- after knocking down the wist list definitely gonna invest in a drill to run it). Also looks like I need to straighten my Guinness print! Cheers!

I used a 5"-4" reducer for a grain chute into the bucket with the edge notched to get it to set as close as possible to the mill. I was going to run screws through the sides of the bucket, but I wanted the top to be removable. I drilled pilot holes and used plastic screw anchors and screws for...

I've been doing extract/steeping grain home brew for almost a year, and it's time to move to partial mash & all grain. I bought a Victoria mill to grind steeping grains, so to start with it is what I'll use for grinding grain. I have seen a few set ups like this on here, so I decided to give it...

Here's some pics of the lid with all the lines ran- up and running great, just need to get some beer in it! The last picture is of the finished product. Thanks to everyone who have posted projects and inspired us to do this-

Faucet holes cut and the faucets temporarily mounted- now some insulation, running lines,... Cut an extra hole to add an additional faucet in the future- thinking creamer with nitrogen. Not sure if this is just a bad fantasy idea, but I can always add without nitrogen after doing enough research...
