    The Blue Light Special Keezer

    Sharing a few pics of my recent (almost completed - minus drip tray) Blue Light Special keezer build. Once I started the project I was on a mission to keep cost as low as possible while making it presentable. I recycled many of the parts involved in the build including the lumber for the...

    Caribou Slobber Brown Ale Extract Kit from Northern Brewers

    Curious if any of you have tried the Northern Brewers Caribou Slobber Brown Ale. If so how pronounced is the roasted coffee flavor it claimed to have? I love a good smooth and balanced Brown Ale but not a fan of coffee and was debating getting this kit based on the rave reviews.

    Temp Controller Display Setting Question

    I ordered the temp controller below off of eBay. It appears to be a copy of a stc 1000 I believe. I liked the fact it reportedly read in F and not C like many others eBay controllers. (The single stage does not bother me since I will not be heating and only cooling.) My issue and question is...

    More Hop/Bitterness Please

    Extract Brewing Topic - I like a good smooth balanced beer. Not crazy about double or triple IPA's and all a heavy bitterness. But I have notices I am struggling to get any real bitterness in batches for the last year. I am thinking it may have to do with the fact I have been doing smaller...

    GE 7cf Chest Freezer/keezer

    As a newbie to the world of Keezer's, I was wondering if anyone has had luck with converting this GE 7 cf freezer? For the price it would appear to be a good platform for a small Keezer's project.

    Aluminum bottles?

    At a Christmas party this afternoon I couldn't help but notice 16 ouch aluminum cans resemble 22 ounce bombers (but smaller). Has anybody filled and caps these aluminum cans? I had to open a fresh one and then recap it to to see if it held pressure or leaked, it did great. Thoughts....?

    Carbing and Conditioning at the same time.

    Is there any draw back to carbonating while conditioning beer in a keg? In other words I typically do a two week primary fermentation then it goes into a corny keg for few more weeks for conditioning. I started putting approx 10 psi of CO2 on the beer the last week or so of conditioning to...

    Ball Lock Corny Styles

    Q1:How many styles (internally or externally) are there of ball lock corny kegs? Q2: Can I assume all ball lock gasket kits are the same even with these differences below? My first corny keg has a bent Dip Tube that feeds from the bottom center dip of the keg. My most recent corny that...

    Lunar Yeast Cake
