In! Thanks kindly.

'Nother chunk o time, 'mo progress dun. :) Tin slapped on in a somewhat linear and aesthetically pleasing fashion, 3/4" plywood acquired, cut and installed, giant holes drilled and many beers consumed. All in all, a slow but enjoyable progression towards an agreeable end goal which is now in...

Not just you Piston_Pounder; local Lower Mainlander here that agrees with your entire summation. I really *want* to enjoy their other offerings (I like their labels and facility, etc) but the beer just falls short.

Ahoy there, fellow AA initiates! It's been a long 8 months of non-keezery related things, so I thought it was time to necro bump this thread with some progress I achieved over the last week so that I might actually finish this project within my lifetime. And hopefully before the wedding I...

Absolutely beautiful work, BrewMongerCo! I'm a huge fan of the copper and giant bolts/frame strut base pieces. Looks like some nice sheet metal bending that'd make an HVAC worker blush too. :) Quick question about the tippy; I can't seem to figure out how you made a tippy without a base...

I bring to you, my boozy brethren, another update of the keezery kind. Borrowed a 1/2 - 14 NPS tap from a friend with a major metalworking background and got to work reaming out the NPT holes in the bushings/reducers. A liberal amount of cutting fluid and a surprisingly small amount of effort...

Thanks for the question! I hit a snag that I wasn't anticipating... the 1/2" NPS (the S is for Straight) male threads of the shank aren't totally compatible with the 1/2" NPT (the T is for Tapered) female threads of the bushing/reducer. I can thread it in about a third of the way, then the...

Does anyone know where those bushings/reducers (tapered metal piece between the tap and the black iron pipe) are from? I would love to use those instead of the black or chrome ones. They look like a solid stainless chunk tapered from 2" to 0.5"

Whoa... I just ordered 4 of these taps from OBK. Is there something I should be checking to prevent this from happening?

Thanks for all the info drgonzo2k2! I think I figured out at least a half assed solution to the foaming issue here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=43072 Figure I'll run two sets of copper pipes on either side of the keezer all the way to the bottom, and run two beer lines in...

Thanks mongoose33, I appreciate the tip! The plan at the moment is to run the lines through pipe insulation, of which there are even tees to use. (like these: https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.tundra-seal-34-tee-pipe-insulation---master-pack-12-pieces.1000163126.html) This should take care of...

Heyo fellow HBT'ers!, Yet another keezer build for everyone to gaze at in wonder and awe... ;) THE 6 TAP KEEZER BUILD YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! Our journey begins with the hapless hero (beero?) scouring Craigslist for that elusive cheap freezer deal you just can't pass up. A few...

Interested! My dad would love this. I love my ITC-310T! :D

I'm only 220lb but hoping to improve soon with all this beer making! ;)

Hah, no problem! To get the most out of your BIAB if you choose not to sparge, you have to squeeze or wring the bag full of grains. Typically, you transfer the bag to another container and let it drain and cool some while the wort in the pot get to boiling temp. Once it's boiling, you squeeze or...

Thanks for letting me know kombat. :) I did try that initially, but all my pictures ended up rotated 90 degrees, and when I attempted to click the 'Edit' button (where I assume I would be able to fix the rotation) it shows a page that says 'Error' on it. :( Apologies if anyone else has issues...

Pics of my keggle build process.

Thanks very much! I totally get it now when people say they ended up enjoying the process of building projects for brewing as much as the brewing itself. :) As to your query about the lid, they do have a lip if I understand what you mean. Here's a pic:

Heyo fellow HBT'ers!, Tired of burning your hands getting the last drop of sugary ambrosia from your grain bag? I'm looking at you BIAB'ers; trying to squash, squeeze and wring that hot ass bag of grain to maximize your efficiency before the boil. I feel your pain. My hands have also...

Heyo fellow HBT'ers!, Thought I'd document my keggle build process seeing as that's what all the cool kids are doing these days. They're eventually going on a three tiered gravity feed rack, once it's built. I currently brew using a single pot BIAB, and plan on continuing to use a...
