    24 Cubic Ft. Chest Freezer - DOA. Converting to Fermentation Chamber via Portable AC

    I wanted to hold 10 kegs at serving temp in my garage. I found a used 15 year old Revco Chest Freezer for 100 bucks on craigslist. Picked it up, worked when I loaded it into truck... had it sitting properly as it would operate while transporting... got it home, unloaded and the compressor...

    Turning "12 Gallon Poly Barrel" into Fermenter

    Nice. Thanks for the info. Have you converted one of these poly barrels into a fermenter yourself? If so, any off flavors in the beer afterward or other issues I may need to look out for?

    Aeration of Wort using General Pump Brass Inline Water Filter

    I have been doing a lot of reading about different ways to aerate wort. I was hoping to eventually pump pure oxygen into the wort on it's way from kettle to fermenter... I also like the idea of being able to see the wort as that happens... so, I've seen some different options for doing this...

    High Temp O-Rings For Weldess Ball Valve / Thermometer - McMaster?

    I can't seem to find anything similar to the red, high temp o-rings that come with the weldless thermobob kits from Midwest or Northern Brewer. I was thinking maybe McMaster has some but haven't looked into it yet. I know they have the o-rings for corny kegs... so assume they'd have the...

    Turning "12 Gallon Poly Barrel" into Fermenter

I don't want to cut a bung hole into the lid, I was thinking maybe McMaster might have the grommets... anyone ever do this? Or know the part number for McMaster? Or...

    DIY BoilerMaker Clone

    I've done a bunch of research online... and found I can get 25 gallon SS Stock Pots on ebay for about 100 bucks. I've also seen some articles about how to build your own Thermowell for a fraction of the price a new one costs .. using compression fittings, bulk head and some copper pipe...

    Turning "12 Gallon Poly Barrel" into Fermenter

    I think these are explained really well... I feel comfortable purchasing them... for sure.. however, shipping is going to kill me. I am hoping that the ones in question will pan out because they're local for me... and I can get pretty much as many as I want / need. Although... it's good to see...

    Turning "12 Gallon Poly Barrel" into Fermenter

    I asked the seller about all that... he didn't know. Seems like he gets these in bulk and sells them however... but since I asked a lot of questions, he didn't want to lie and since I rather be safe than sorry... I am collecting info and your opinions before I move forward... I plan to buy a...

    Turning "12 Gallon Poly Barrel" into Fermenter

    Hey All... I'm brand new here, never posted before but have been brewing for years. I'm recently working out what kind of set up I can use to ferment large volumes of beer. I am going to use some plastic conicals... but also hoping to use some of these if I put some valves on the bottom, and...
