So I have a 3 tap setup from keg connection that has never worked right. I'm not sure if it's me or them. I have my temp set at 35 degrees with a swing of 2. I've had nothing but foam from 3 beers. This latest one is a really great IPA that I've been trying to dial in using the tips that they...

So I force carbonated my Hobgoblin clone for 2 days at 30 psi. I don't have my lines balanced, just 5' on each tap; I got the setup from Keg Connection. My first kegged beer runs perfectly, no foam at all at 10psi but the Hobgoblin served at 8 has nothing but foam. I'm thinking the beer is...

So I went on vacation to Cali for a couple weeks and I transferred my hobgoblin clone into kegs and put it under pressure so that I would have it ready when I got back. I tried to pull a pint when I got home and got no love. I went and checked and I discovered that I forgot to open the cutoff...

My first kegged beer is fully carbed and it is delicious. It's funny because last night I tried it and it was still a little flat and today, perfection. I just threw in my second brew to cool down for a night and tomorrow I'll start carbing that as well. I'm going to Southern California for a...

Well after my keezer build, which you can see Here, I finally got the nerve up to get my Stout into the keg and get it going. Of course I didn't get any answers to my questions in my other thread:mad: about kegging but hey, nothing a little tinkering can't solve I suppose. I threw everything...

So I recently scored a 25$ 12 cu foot freezer that can fit probably 4 cornies. The freezer itself is a little beat up with some rust, but I plugged it in today and it works perfect so far. I was initially going to build a collar but the hinges on this one or located on the inside and they are...

So I scored a 12 cu kenmore freezer off of CL for 25 bucks. It could probably hold as many as 6 cornies so I was pretty psyched. When I was cleaning it out I noticed that the hinges are on the inside and go in and out of the lid when I open and close. I'm thinking I'm going to have to remove the...

So I spotted this Haeir (sp?) 5.3 cubic foot chest freezer on CL for 80 bucks and am going to pick it up tomorrow. I'm planning on having a 3 tap system from so that I can have two beers and an Apfelwein on tap at all times:ban:. What changed my mind was that my last batch is having a hard time...

I'm in my garage brewing up a summit IPA and was bored so I brought my laptop out. Gotta love wireless:D Dan

So I made my starter this morning for my brew tomorrow of my Summit IPA using Pacman. I have it in the flask with one of those foam stoppers that keep stuff out but allow C02 to escape. I went out for a ride and come back and check on it and the foam stopper has popped out. It was sitting on my...

So the SG was 1.071 and the projected FG was 1.018. I'm at 1.023 right now and have been since Saturday. I used an old smack pack of Pac man and was wondering if I should just bottle it this weekend or maybe throw some Nottingham in there and see if they pick up the slack? The taste is right on...

So I recently spent 30 bucks including shipping on a pound of Summit hops from Freshops only to have them lost in the mail. Without a way to track I'm pretty screwed. I don't know at this point whether Dave will do anything for me or not but I'm a bit peeved at the whole situation. I was...

So what should I be looking at if I wanted to have a 3-4 keg setup in a chest freezer? What do you guys use? Dan

So I sent an email out to a guy on CL about a chest freezer they have for 75 bucks. IT works and is in great shape. He says it's a medium sized freezer with a fixed ledge on the right side. I mentioned it was for a Kegerator and he said it could probably fit a couple kegs. Although I am not sure...

So this past weekend I brewed Edworts Haus APA. Things went well on brewday for once. I hit most of my targets and it was a fairly quick brewday. Well today action had slowed to a stop so I took a hydro reading. Turns out it fermented out to 1.009, which is a couple points lower than what Ed had...

Well if any of you know, I have been having a lot of difficulty nailing my AG regime and getting consistent results. Some of this definitely my screwups and other variables are out of my hands. Either way, I decided to try once more. So here is the recipe based on Edworts Haus APA. 9.5 lbs 2...

Man this stuff is delicious. Most of their other beers were excellent as well but this one stood out. Although I could only enjoy one or two before having to stop as they were 8.5% ABV:D Dan

So I warped my 10 gal cooler today after converting it. I tested it with some 200 degree water to see how it would hold temps. It did fine but there is a line going up the side of the cooler where the interior has pulled away. Hopefully it doesn't affect the function; tomorrow is my first time...

Today has been a nightmare. I'm done..it just isn't worth it to be wasting my time and money on something there is/can be so much variation on. I keep spending more money in hopes that things will improve but with a zero return on my investment I'm spending more money that saving at this point...

So I didn't get a chance to make a starter for this one but whatever. For a Hefe, do I need to do a protein rest in the 120's before I go up to mash temps or can I do a single infusion. Also do I need to do a mash out? Thanks! Dan
