Not anytime soon Mike. Still have quite a few bags yet from last year to use up.

He still has it.

A friend of mine is selling his 4 Tap Keezer I built for him a little over 3 years ago. He's asking $650 for it. Message me if your interested.

Yes, probably be next summer till the next bulk order. I stock up for a while when I do the order, it's a lot of work.

I think after brewing for well over 25 years I have discovered I am allergic to certain levels of hops. Had a very good Mosiac IPA from sarnac last night. It's a 75 IBU beer and I got a coughing fit and sneezing and runny nose from it. I've had a sneezing fit before from smelling hops before...

raiderrob67 I like the idea of roasting the peppers. Never thought of using red and yellow peppers but will try this in a beer. Now I want to decide which of my beer styles I'll use it in??

Yes Undeadfred, you gotta have temp control with this strain, otherwise it gets very active! I agree that 60 to 62 deg is a good fermenting temp for it. I love the Alt I made with it. Just brewed a 90 Schilling with it last week. Can't wait to try that in about 3 more weeks.

Put beer in the cold area at 38 deg, all the yeast dropped from the top to the bottom of the fermenter. Should be kegging next week.

Check this out 24 hrs after pitching a starter I made for 24 gals. This is at 62 deg right now!

When ferment is done, I'll cold crash it to 36 degrees and see how well it flocs out. Yes 1007 is a very good strain, like it a lot!

Using this strain for the 1st time. Here's the starter for a 24 gal batch I'm making on Fri. Shows a true pancake type top crop as the German ale strain should. Going to make an Alt with this strain. I'll post how the beer comes out in about a month.

Had to extend the return to right behind the evaporator. Brewed a helles, cz pils and a doppelbock in 9 days. 15 carboys, the fermentation room is full.

Bought the shelving units off of craigslist about 7 years ago. They came out of a Linens and things store that had closed up. Check around on craigslist and see what you can find.

temp control

Nothing to be jealous about. I talked about doing it for 5 years. My round to project, I finally got around to doing:)

Just finished hooking up the blower motor and thermostat control. Added more insulation to the wall and was able to get the fermentation room to maintain 62 deg without the fan. I now have the fan turning on at 55 deg and it cuts out at 51 deg. Time to plan two lagers for next week! I'll post...

The walls were 3 1/2" rock wool with two one inch 6.0 r value foam boards. The ceiling is five one inch 6.0 r value boards. The back wall of the building was filled in with spray foam from a guy that does commercial spray foam. All the seems were also sealed using that spray foam.

and the last pics

the original build last year.
