This was my return to homebrewing after a couple years, for the AHA Big Brew Day, and it was a fabulous one! I managed to pull off most of the brewing stuff without too many issues, except being without a hop spider or hop bags. Wellllllllll... I should've gotten a packet of A09, dangit. A...

Entered!

I got my Mark II Keg and Carboy Washer up and running, today. It's been through two Better Bottles (one with some caked on crud from an English Mild), one 3 gallon keg, and it's working its way through the next 3 gallon keg. After that, it'll get a five gallon keg, into which I'll rack cider...

Tree beer is one of my favorite things. Kulshan Brewing is a local and they do it yearly - see here for a shot of the tree-in-the-kettle. That said, I've used a number of the ingredients here (ginger, molasses, LME (very funny), and others) and not had a problem. Probably the worst I've...

The important questions are how you will get it in tallboys and whether it will make you feel like a cowboy. On a more serious note, can you give units on your grain bill?

Picked up a 4-way CO2 manifold with check valves for a song a couple months ago and had it on my doorstep in two days. Just put in an order for a keezer setup and hoping it goes as smoothly - it saved me a whole bunch of dollars over other retailers.

The upper one is my upright freezer, which has 3 x 6.5g carboys, but is not managing active fermentation and is holding at 45 (grumble grumble, the pilsner did not ferment out, grumble). It's significantly more capable of chilling. The lower is the chamber, managing 1 x 6.5g fermenter with...

I finished this up today! The door was mounted on the sort of shoddy mount. On the next go around (I'll need another one of these), I'm going to build it a proper rail and actually frame the door up. I went through about half a roll of aluminum tape, 1 and 2/3 of the foam boards. All but ~2' of...

Seriously! I really just need an hour, tops, to get it done, so I'll hold off brewing if it comes to that. Tiltednotion: I'm using the 2" thick, R8.5, foam from Lowe's. I picked out the 2"x2'x8' boards to simplify cutting it in their parking lot and two of those boards will be just slightly...

Go for it - I think it's fairly common anyhow. Back to working on this - I've finished three of the walls in the chamber, setup the door mounts (they're baaaaaad), and put the fridge in the frame. I'm without a powerstrip liberator (which will allow me to control the fridge and a small fan on...

BACK TO IT! I managed to ignore this project for almost a month (because that's how I do every project) and walk around it a lot without going nuts. Then I found myself with free time today and an itch to finish it. So, the first shot below shows: - Awful tolerances. I think there's a half-inch...

Bump. Willing to consider trade for smaller chiller plus cash.

Making more progress today, but also finding flaws. - 3-1/2" deck screws were totally unnecessarily long. That said, this is the first wood-thing I've built, so I opted for more-holding-power and am okay with it. This relates to... - I wish the 'B' boards, the ones between the long rails on the...

First, my inspirations: mwill07's thread IOnceWasLegend's thread Xakk's thread I'm pretty good at making beer, food, and messes. Figured I should try my hand at making a fermentation chamber. My plans are pretty butt-ugly/not-to-scale, so they may not appear on here. Mostly, a lot of stupidity...

I have a brand new Duda Diesel B3-36A 60 plate chiller, unused. Water inlet is female garden hose; water outlet is male garden hose; both wort inlet and outlet are 1/2" NPT (had intended to use tri-clamps on it). Selling because it's absurd for my batch sizes (5-12g) and want to pick up a...

Tagging another post onto this - I brewed it up, using the extract malt bill (usually go all-grain, but wanted this busted out) and this hopping schedule: 1oz Cascade @60min 0.5oz Chinook@30min 0.5oz Chinook@5min 0.5oz Cascade@5min I am utterly floored by how freaking delicious this is...
