    GE Mini Fridge Conversion?

    I was given a GE Mini Fridge and after dropping down the freezer section 1 ball lock keg fits perfectly. I would love to put 2 ball lock kegs in the fridge but it appears I only have 16.5 inches of free space and it looks like I need at least 17 inches. Is it possible to take out the interior...

    Armadillo Ale

    I am by no means a lifelong brewer or even a great brewer but I am a bit excited about this one. An easy drinking 4.6% Ale. Just enough hop bitterness and flavor for what I was aiming for.

    Plastic tubing questions

    I recently acquired a 3 way CO2 manifold that I was going to use to connect to my 3 kegs. In my excitement at the thought of having 3 kegs to choose from I neglected to pick up an extra gas line from my regulator to the manifold. I have some extra plastic tubing and a 5/16 barb. Is it okay to...

    Noob all grain question

    I have done 2 all grain batches, the first being a quite tasty Stout and the second an Amber Ale fermenting nicely but I have found that maybe I have been doing my mash wrong.

    How long to wait for fermentation?

    I brewed a batch last night and pitched 2 packets of Wyeast 1214 Belgian Abbey. One packet swelled pretty well but it took 3 days to start showing signs the other, older smack pack took about a week to swell maybe halfway. It has been 24 hours and I still do not see much in the way of...

    Switch to Keg or All Grain?

    I am pretty new at this, 3 extract brews with varied results. Nothing bad or undrinkable, just some were better than others. I have put a little away to help build my hobby/addiction and am deciding do I want to start buying equipment to go all grain or buy equipment to start Kegging. A...
