I have a Magic Chef MCBR440 (I think it's an older model of the 445). From everything I've seen Magic Chef minifridges seem to only have cooling lines in the freezer shelf. Has anyone seen otherwise? I'm hoping to drill two holes through the side of the fridge to run lines for a radiator...

Be been checking Craigslist religiously, contacted some local breweries, etc, still no luck. I don't want to put a deposit down and keep the keg, so where else should I look? Thanks for the advice!

I'm not trying to shoot out a spam message, nor am I getting paid for this, but I did want to share some appreciation for Bargain Fittings, if this is the wrong place, well, sorry. Anyway, I ordered a bunch of fittings for my build recently and a few pieces were missing, when I inquired about...

Seems to me this would be one of the simplest ways to make a ss fb for the round cooler MT's, maybe someone has already mentioned it, though I didn't find it whilst searching, either way, anyone see any problems with this? Parts: 12" SS Round Cake Pan (12" can be hard to find, this was the only...

So I'm building my mash tun tomorrow...my brew kettle is done, and I'm raring to go with an AG batch as soon as I can get it cleared by the swmbo! That being said, I want to do a few SMaSH's before I go into anything crazy to get a good feel for the grains and hops that I'll be using. Any...

I've been reading How to Brew and some threads in here, but my water report (from the company itself) was a little light in general. Here are the numbers I found that seemed to relate: Chloramines: 4 ppm Alkalinity: 18.92 ppm Total Hardness: 23.58 ppm Also listed was: pH: 7.78...

This weekend I got a brand new brew buddy: Weighing in at 7lbs 15oz and 21 3/4 inches long Charles Augustus said hello to the world on February 4, 2012! He's my wife and I's first child, and he's pretty much the coolest thing ever.

Tax returns are a wonderful thing, especially when you're getting a whole lot more than expected. So what better way to blow through some of that money than by setting up an electrical brewing set up? That being said I don't want to spend too much, and I'm running with a few limitations...

Alright, I know all the advantages of a 240VAC system, and would love to go that route, however, as I'm in the military and moving a lot, it's not very practical. I don't plan on doing more than 5 gal batches (at least not until I can bump up to 240VAC), so from what I've seen it's possible to...

I am considering getting Maple Syrup Dark Ale from Midwest and the directions are for a 2 gallon boil. I'd prefer to do a full boil, so how do I need to adjust my recipe/brewing?

So last weekend I made Cheesefood's VCCA and it came out with an SG of 1.067, which was high according to BeerSmith (by about .01). I also forgot to add the irish moss, but from what I understand that wouldn't change anything except clarity (right?). Anyway, now a week later I'm still at a...

I'm currently fermenting a batch with Wyeast German Ale yeast and it's sitting at about 73 degrees (give or take a degree or two). Unfortunately in my apartment I don't have a lot of room and my primary (a 6.5 gal carboy) is in a closet. I'm pretty sure the temperatures are constant but how...

So, I found this on my krausen about 28 hours into fermentation: It's sideways, sorry. If I didn't know better I'd wonder if my dog had dropped a deuce on it. Any ideas what it is?

Does the feel of success upon seeing the airlock begin it's bubbling ever fade?

First and foremost, I soaked my bottles in starsan, then when I bottled I just pulled them from the solution, dumped them, and bottled on top of the foam. Anyone see any problems with that? The other question I have is this: Is this normal? I'm assuming it's just trub, but I've never...

So, I made a starter last week for brewday tomorrow. It's been in the fridge for about 5 days and I was told I'd probably want to restart it. That being said, when should I do this? Tonight, for brewing tomorrow afternoon? And is the following procedure correct? Decant the current...

I know these are all over hte place but I made a starter and it over flowed (I didn't realize how much it was krausen). anyway, it's overflowed and definitely lost some yeast to it, though I'm pretty sure I could still pitch it and be okay, my question is about contamination...what with all the...

When making a starter how early do you smack the pack? If it's over the 3 hour mark recommended do you refrigerate or just leave it out?

First and foremost, I know Britton is spelled wrong...I'm working on this beer for a friend. That being said here's the recipe I have so far, just wanted your alls take on it before I started ordering ingredients: Malts/Extracts: 6# Light DME .5 # Crystal 60 (45 minute steep @155) Hops...
