The compressor worked fine but all the methyl formate leaked out because of a broken line. I had to install R-11 Freon into it because I could find not find no one to sell me methyl formate. It's on a watch list, go figure. I also had to remove the float needle seat and install a capillary...

Here are a few pictures of my restored 1932 Monitor Top refrigerator I turned into a Kegerator after restoring it back to working condition. It keeps the beer a cold 36 deg. I have on tap A Bavarian Kolsch and an original Oktoberfest beer. On the third tap I will have a homemade root beer for...

I have an old frig and I made a temp. control for and will use that. I been looking at the kits from Northern brewer and Midwest. You catch it with a 15-20% off not to bad a price. I really like to find the taste I had when I went to the Octoberfest in Germany years ago. Thanks all for the info.

The beer was clear with a light tint of brown. I am also kind of wondering if it was a real stout also or just a good sounding name they came up with. Most likely that. It was still a good beer one of the better ones you could find in Cincinnati at the time.

I can't seem to find or it does not seem that no one has an idea of a beer we had in Cincinnati called Sir Edward Stout made buy the Hudepohl-Schoenling Brewing Co. So I am kind of looking to see if I can maybe make it with an extract. I have no ides if it can be done. The stout was very creamy...

Thanks all. For my first beer I want to make a Kolsch Extract from HB. Should be interesting.

Hi Again. I read over the articles on the links. I liked what they where saying and how to do it the right way. My only problem is they keep opening the primary and stiring the fermenting juice for 7 days. To me this is a good way to get the fermenting juice contaminated.. What I was thinking...

Hi all. I just bought 6 huge watermelons from Aldi for 3.00 a piece. Before I really start making the wine I was wanting to know if I should pitch the yeast like I do beer on my home made Maelstrom for around 24hr or don't I really need to do this. I was just thinking this would give the yeast...

Hi All. I am kind of just getting back into beer making. I guess what kind of got me into it again was I had a strong yearning for a Cincinnati beer called Sir Edward Stout. It was brewed by the Hudepohl-Schoeling Brewing Co. . it been years since I had any but I remember I always liked it. It...
