    Kenmore 5.1 Keezer…

    Ahh... Looks like you got 2 ball locks to fit in the bottom there. I'm still using pin locks which are a little fatter and can only fit one in the bottom and had to build a shelf and collar to get the other two to fit. I don't see why you could not just throw a 2 tap tower on it, you may need...

    Best plate chiller for the money?

    I also have the duda diesel b3 -23a 30 plate chiller (long one) and I love it! It seems to chill as fast as I can pump the wort through. I run boiling water through it both before and after (back flush) then pump a little star sans in and let drain. I have not had an issue yet with it. I also...

    Black stuff in the fermenter.

    Yeah I agree! I thought dumping the trub was pretty sweet, pulling a sample to test gravity was a piece of and cake not to mention Co2 transfers. Very happy with it so far. I don't "need" half the stuff I have but all the bling makes people think I know what I'm doing :) Thanks again for...

    Black stuff in the fermenter.

    Sweet good to know. I got a 14.5 gal stout tank. I really like it, but the black crap kind of freaked me out too. I cleaned it first with bar keepers friend and sanitized with star sans. I was kind of worried about the welds on the stout tank. I mean they look really good but who knows. Is...

    Black stuff in the fermenter.

    Sorry to bring up an old thread but how did the beer turn out? I just kegged an amber from my conical for the first time and saw the same looking black crud in the ring. Also did the black crud return on other batches?

    Chugger Pump Customer Service is OUTSTANDING

    I have to agree. I had an issue with a rattle in the motor of my new pump. The pump worked fine but I thought I would see if there was fix for it. So I emailed the question and had a new pump sitting on my door in a little less than a week. Awesome customer service from Chugger.

    Weissbier Bee Cave Brewery Bavarian Hefeweizen

    Tapped this yesterday and it turned out great! My wife loved it. I hit all my numbers, fermented for 14 days at 68 in my new new fermentation chamber. Got a real nice banana flavor with no sulfur at all. Definitely a keeper. I used German Red Wheat and Canadian Pilsen (all my LHBS had) and...

    What's the worst craft brew (commercial) you've had?

    Epic Ales Cinco Plantas brewed with epazote. So bad!

    Midwest Supplies

    I decided to cancel my order after only sitting for a few days in processing (4 days). I asked about time frames and was told it could be up to 3 weeks or so as some stuff was being drop shipped from Blichmann. After reading all of these horror stories I decided to jump ship before it turned too...

    Vancouver, Wa.

    Hey there, My Brother lives down there and he heads down to Brew Bros. in Hillsboro for bigger purchases. When he does I have him grab me sacks of grain :) He can get me a sack of 2-row for less than 30 bucks. There is another brew shop in Vancouver he hits up for quick items but the name...

    False Bottom and FB stand build

    Yeah I hope the center pickup tube I ordered from bargain fittings is going to work. I went ahead and made all this stuff without all the pieces in hand. I hope I don't regret it.

    False Bottom and FB stand build

    First thanks everybody for all the great info. I have stolen all of my ideas for this build from you guys :). I'm in the process of building a single tier stand after acquiring a couple kegs for my MLT and HLT. So with my tube order I added in a sheet of 12 X 24 perforated SS with the hopes...

    SP10 and SQ14 now both 10 psi regulator

    Yeah this is weird. I just got the SP10 from amazon and on the box it says 20psi regulator but the when I look up the model number of the regulator it comes up as a 10psi (JYT-GYA7/8). I'm kind of bummed out because of this. :( I don't know if I have a leg to stand on because in the amazon...

    Kenmore 5.1 Keezer…

    The MDF is holding up fine as of now, I'd say go for it if you got it. I did paint it with an exterior paint to seal it. The exterior paint will flex a little more and has more of a mold inhibitor in it which sounded right for the application. I would seal it someway if you decide to use it...

    Kenmore 5.1 Keezer…

    Sorry about getting back to you late, we were out of town. The inside measures 15" X 22" and it is 18" deep on the hump. The hump is like 15" X 9" and at the deepest spot it is about 26" deep. Hope that helps.

    Does your Brother brew too?

    Yup, my older brother got me hooked on homebrew. He lives about 4 hours away and we brew together every now and again. But we pass recipes and techniques back and forth on a weekly sometime daily basis. Even brewed the same beer simultaneously once. :rockin:
