I bought 8 of them back in April 2008 and have enjoyed them many times over the last few years. These are "converted" sanke coupling 5 gallon corny kegs that I bought off the forum almost 10 years ago! The top is a welded soda lid and coupler with a custom cut spear for the keg. You can see...

So tonight, I'm bringing some homebrew to folks that I'm pretty sure have never had any. I've got 2x .5L of blonde, a .5L each of Nut Brown and Apfelwein. They all passed my QA tasting(the blonde is fantastic....) and even the SWMBO has said all three taste good. Here's to spreading some...

I've had the photos around for a while and figured I'd finally post them, in case anyone cares. I got some pretty gross Sanke couplers from a frat boy a while back. I figured they needed a complete tear-down. it's pretty self-explanatory, but anyways, onward! Material: Need to measure...

H'okay. This only applies to gas users, and probably only the higher end BTU guys at that. Definitely the Banjo burners. My Blichmann temperature gauge, valves, and hoses were getting singed, and since I couldn't find any solutions, I figured I'd post my answer with a quick write up. Maybe...

Anyone who uses a three tier brew rig knows the somewhat worried idea of having 7-8 gallons of scalding liquid in the air, with only lengthy hoses to distribute. With the propane delivery already working fine, I'm thinking that high temperature hosing beverage hosing + quick disconnects + a...

I sent Chriso a sample of Scottish 80/ w/walnuts and a SP clone. These are my first two brews/bottled ones I tried out Chriso's Scottish 80/- recipe with walnuts in leiu of pecans. Since I had a few of my Southern Pecan Clone with Alabrew's recipe, I threw those into the mix as well. I've...

First off, having a SWMBO that is a Graduate neuroscience student is awesome. When tagging along with her this past weekend to help carry stuff, we came across a huge pile of lab equipment including glassware. Above it had a sign "Free stuff! Take!". I grabbed an ancient dual-motor stirplate...

So after getting a bunch of sanke/sankey/sanky-modified soda kegs, I set out cleaning diligently. Reassembling them, I chose to use the spiral rings that were on the kegs. For the o-ring on the spear to compress completely, either a industry standard spiral retaining ring needs to be...

I don't know if anyone else here has this problem but transitioning between 1/4" barb fitting for Soda kegs and 7/8" beer nut for the sanke coupler is a pain! What you can do is take a 5/8" NPT-M to 1/4" NPT-F flared fitting and cut the gas flare off. Cut it off right above the threads, but...

Howdy, I'm setting up to get the rig built this week. I searched in vain of a parts list on here but I've got a good idea of what to build. It will be a thin, three tier with two burners mounted at the top and the bottom (middle is MLT) My main question, though is that if it's ok to use...

I'm planning on making my first fruit wine next month. Blueberries'll come into season here and I'll be able to find them at an affordable price! Before driving out to the farms an 1 1/2hr away though, I was hoping to get some good advice here and hopefully not make a n00b mistake. The recipe...

I just hooked up my Southern Pecan Clone yesterday. It's my first AG and homebrew. It's still VERY green, 3 1/2 weeks since boiling, but let me tell you. It tasted great. Slightly sweeter and maltier than I thought. I've got a 12 pack stashed away for later tasting. Why AG first? My roomate...

First off I feel stupid for not grabbing picture of it. I was at a wedding this weekend and saw three miller lite 1/2 bbl kegs. Two were stainless steel but one was entirely plastic it seemed. It was not rubberized in any way. Has anyone seen something like these?

I was reading instructables today and saw a piece about making a ghetto AC from a Car Heat Core, pumping the Ice cold water thru it to a fan where it would pull all the air through the manifolds and creating a nice cold air. I'm not much of a car guy, so I don't know if they are soldered or...

I'm posting here on behalf of my roomate, let's call him "Fred." He's just put his beer in for his second kegging. The first did not fair well for other reasons. Fred made his first AG, a Red Dog Ale, with gravities being hit(according to fred). It fermented outside of any container save...

I read somewhere that wine should not come into contact with brass. I'm getting ready to move some wine in the next 2 weeks. It will come into brief contact with the brass fittings as I push the wine through a rough filter and into bottling. Do I need to use plastic connections instead or...

I just scored two fridges today that are in working condition for $35. One is your average mini-fridge size while the other is a bit smaller. My question is should I use both to create a single massive cabinet that can handle a few 6.5gal carboys/5gal kegs or should one suffice? Here's a...
