You can always get another cat... That might help justify the 20 lbs of DME. :-)

Saw that on Midwest brewing website. Price was not too unreasonable but the DIY one on this one speaks to me more... Thanks for the post. Redbeard5289

Kegged my 5 gal batch today. FG came out at 1.012, had a beautiful orange hue with a malty aroma. Hydrometer sample was malty with strong hint of Munich and Vienna. Can't wait for this one to get carbed up. Not sure if I can wait :-)

Brew up this recipe on Monday. Had to sub crystal 20 for crystal 10 but the rest was spot on. Went with Wyeast 1968 for my yeast since I had some on hand. Can't wait for this to finish fermenting and drop into a keg. Yummy!

Awesome.... Will dig in deeper when funds are available Redbeard5289

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but this fermentation chamber build is exactly the thing I've been searching for for my garage. Thanks for the posting. Redbeard5289

Great thread... Was looking for a way to get less keggle loss after cooling. Thanks! Redbeard5289

Awesome write up! Thank you for sharing. Going to have to build one soon... Redbeard5289

So I am in the process of planning out a fermentation chamber build and have a question to those who have made their own fermentation chamber. What thickness of pink foamboard is doable for a fermentation chamber? Is 1 inch thickness to thin for side walls of a fermentation chamber? I...

plankbr... your recipe looks good! Have you done a side by side comparison? te-wa... let us know how she tastes, keep us posted. Redbeard5289

nice... can't wait to try it. Redbeard5289

Are you looking to recreate it at home? :cross:

Definately going to run Electricity to the Brewshed as well as having some type of heating and cooling system in place. (Probably going with propane heater and window AC for that since I have those at my disposal) Have put some serious thought into trenching in water/waste water lines since...

I'm currently on winter break from college and finished up a couple of brew sessions in my garage in this hot and humid weather of SE Minnesota. :cross: During this last brew session I noticed that my brew space in the garage is lacking in both space and permanent aspects. This got me thinking...

My mother would always say "That all of the outdoors is a man's bathroom". Relieving oneself in the suburbs is an art form as well as a bit daring. I find that by placing some misc. material (scrap lumber, garbage cans, gardening posts, etc.) in an "L" shape fashion behind my 3rd garage stall...

I bought my keg setup from Keg Connections last year. Great company. I added a second regulator along with a extra gas connection and a split valve on one of the regulators (Serve two beers off of one regulator and carb up another off of the other regulator). I explained what I wanted to do...

Butch Otis my wife, Bobbi-Jean and my son, Bubba I see I have some kinfolk on this thread :D

Harbor Freight is a good place to go for tools you plan to use every so often or for that one DIY project. They get the job done and they won't siphon the money out of your wallet. If you are looking for a tool that you plan to use quite a bit or for multi-projects then go with a higher...

This is the one that I have.... http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/brewing/brewing-equipment/bottling/bottle-cappers/super-agata-bench-capper.html I inherited it from my brother so its about 15-17 yrs old but still works like a charm. At >$40 its a good investment for those that bottle...

My neighbor and I came to the conclusion that that the handheld capper that comes standard with each brewing kit caused a lot of the cracking/breaking issues we were seeing on bottles. Those handheld cappers put all of the stress of capping on the top 1/2 inch of the bottle just underneath the...
