    8 year old hops stored in the freezer

    I have many, many ounces of frozen, vacuum sealed hops. I opened a small package and they still smell like hops, no off odors. Anybody have any experience brewing with anything close to this? I had kids and took some serious time off but now thinking about getting back in. I never threw these...

    Storing Keezer on it's back?

    I've been out of the homebrew game for a while, sidetracked with life. I've been using my 5CU GE for years just as a beer fridge but now need to store it or sell (NOOOO) it. The only place I have to store it is an elevated crawl space that will only allow for me to put it on it's back. I've done...

    Foamy firstt pour from keezer

    I've been gone a long while so maybe this has been addressed. I can't find it. Every time I go to pour from my keezer the first beer is pretty foamy. I've found my beer line actually has air pockets in it. I'm currently tapping commercial sanke kegs with about 10' of line to compensate for the...

    Angle grinder or cut off?

    I've been mia for a while but am about to cut the top off a keg I got. I was going to get a cut off wheel (3") from harbor freight but then I saw the angle grinder (4"+) that looks more heavy duty. I assume the bigger the better but anyone have any input...

    Home Brewing Calendar

    Glad I could be of service. I've just relocated for work and am on a brewing hiatus. I can still plan and research right?!

    Home Brewing Calendar

    I'm sure many of you saw this in the last BYO but I thought it'd be worth pointing out here. I was about to do this on my own and when I saw this it made me happy I didn't have to! If this link ever dies I have the PDF. http://www.homebrewing.com/articles/home-brewing-calendar.php

    Identifying + and - on DC power supply

    If you're just hooking it up to a 6 or 12v computer fan it will either run in reverse if the wires are switched or it won't run at all. This is what happened with me. I take no responsibility if you burn your fan though.... Low enough voltage to just give it a try IMO.

    Guide to set internal chest freezer thermostat to >32F; Eliminate external control

    I'm nervous to let it go too long b/c I've got 3 kegs in there. It was already cold and I couldn't hear a click while I was turning. I assume it still clicks while unplugged?

    Guide to set internal chest freezer thermostat to >32F; Eliminate external control

    So far no luck on my small GE. Turned it in all the way and the compressor was still running after I plugged it in. I'm now afraid to go counter-clockwise too much for fear of unscrewing the thing completely. Thoughts anyone?

    That's good! Use that for fermentation and use this for kegs!

    Glass Carboy ID needed

    If I had to guess total capacity I would say it was 18QT since I put 4G in it with some head space still. It came with a plastic lid that looks tight enough. I guess my post title didn't have to say "Needed", more like just curious. Whatever it WAS it's now a secondary for something. Maybe...

    Glass Carboy ID needed

    Anyone seen one of these? I put 4G in it and it almost come to the top. Would probably on 2ndary with it or maybe ferment 3G... but I'm thinking it's metric for some reason.
