I use them to ferment in. I have two 14.5 gallon salt containers I bought off of eBay.

I bought one of the tan pumps. I used it today and it worked pretty good but there were a couple times when the pump wouldn't prime. However I think that was more user error than the pumps fault. It was also the first time I used a typical cooler type mash tun. In the past I would mash in a...

Ya know thank you for putting my perspective straight again. Sometimes in my quest to do everything on the cheap I over look whats really required. I'd spend more adapting these pneumatic fittings than I would if I just bought what I needed. Just spent 67.56 on cam locks at bargain fittings...

So I bought a cheap pump on ebay, the one from THIS thread and I wanted to get some fittings for it. I checked out the cam locks at bargain fittings and it added up to almost 100 bones of fittings and hoses to hook up my 20 dollar pump. I was wondering why couldn't I use brass air fittings...

I really love Brew Mate. Wish they had an iPad app.

Man the largest I've done is 17lbs for a hg 5 gallon batch mashed in my 9 gal pot. Use only 1 Lowes paint strainer. I like the Lowes strainers better as the HD ones have a tag that I have to remove. A dozen plus or so batches and no issues. With 21 lbs man I would double wrap that rascal...

I found with the pumpkin there's a lot of sediment. I didn't brew this exact recipe, but made a pumpkin porter for my wedding and there was a ton of trub. That said I only used a primary and a long secondary. Rack from the primary when the fermentation slows significantly. I hate taking...

I've bought two of those loose handle kegs myself with the new lid from them and I've had no problems with the two that I have holding pressure. The two that I got are in way better condition than the ones that are shown in the pictures. The lids don't have as positive of a snap to them when I...

Cascade doesn't sound like the right hop to me either but thats what came with the kit so that'll be what I use. I like marris otter a lot and I think it will add something very nice to this beer.

Thanks for the congrats guys I used a chainsaw and plunge cut everything. A new blade and spinning a high rpm on my father's husky was key. I actually came up with this idea for the card box and carved our initials in that. I needed a cool way to showcase the beer so I made the faucet to...

Sorry guys hopefully I fixed the links pics

Hey guys I just wanted to show off the beer dispenser faucet that I made for my wedding last week. I made it out of black walnut and made the handles from the wood that I took from the center. I used 3/8-16 concrete anchors in the end of the handles and got the perlick faucets of ebay for dirt...

I know this thread is a bit old but thought I'd revive it seeing as I just bought this kit and plan on brewing it sometime this week. I was wondering how your modified brew came out? I am planning on turning this kit into a partial mash and mashing the grain from the kit along with 3lbs of...

Yeah I poured the wort in with the puree and all into the fermenter. Plus I dont strain out the hops. I just let everything settle out in the primary. So with all of that I lost more than I usually do plus I messed up on another step and only had about 5 gallons going into the fermenter...

I think Butternut Squash or sweet potatoes would still be pretty good but might not give the same flavors as the pumpkin. I was able to find pumpkin at a one of the huge Top's International Supermarkets up here. I used three cans. I scooped them out into baking pans, like the ones you would...

I wanted to bump this thread because I would like do basically the same thing sort of. Except I have a full-sized old school general motors fridge that is currently my beer fridge. I just started kegging beer and would like to be able to have the beer cold without having to have the kegs...

How do you carmalize this? You said that you put it on a cookie sheet? Is that right? I just feel like this could get real messy putting canned pumpkin on a cookie sheet in the oven.

Did you ever get a responce on this. It's one of my favorite beers as well and I was just in the process of devising a recipe. Though I wasn't going to add any caramel itself. I was going to use a lot of 120 and I was going to add special-b as well.
