Backstory: We have started brewing bigger batches and as such have moved to using larger (50 L) kegs for ease of storage and reduction of cleaning. The issue with this is that my keezer cannot fit very many of these. I’m used to being able to hold 6-7 20 L kegs in the keezer, but now I can...

Hey all, After moving to 1/2 barrel kegs, I find that my chest freezer kegerator is just not big enough anymore. I can only fit two 1/2 bbls and one corny, whereas before I could fit about 6-7 cornies. This is hurting my beer selection and I would like to come up with a solution, other than...

Hey all, I have this very frustrating issue with my Arduino controlled electric brew system. I use a PC with a C# interface to communicate over serial with the arduino to send commands such as desired temperatures and to enabled/disable elements, contactors, etc. Well, there are actually 2...

And there it was. Good thing I have some spares on hand!

Hey all, Since it takes so much water to chill a batch, which essentially just gets tossed on the lawn, I was thinking about making a more "closed loop" cooling system to chill the beer. What I'm thinking is, getting two large containers (ie. rubber trash cans) and fill up one of them with my...

I'm looking for some feedback for a new electric rig I've got planned. I've done a lot of research on this site (and others) but I'd just like to hear some comments/suggestions from here. I've been brewing 10 gallons with an electric kettle (5 kW) for about a year now with no problems, but...

Hey everyone. I've been brewing 10gal all-grain batches for a few months now and I'm looking to get a bit more through-put. I'm brewing 1-2 times a week now and the labor is getting to be too much! My equipment can handle the 10gal batches fairly easily (20-25lbs of grain in the mash tun), and...

I've been lurking these forums for a bit and I've started my first extract brew about a week ago. This forum has been a life saver! There was a very aggressive fermentation within the first day or so, causing the airlock to clog and pop the lid! Not a big mess, fortunately. Next time I'll use...
