I'm looking to the forums for some help. I brewed a Raspberry wheat for a wine mixer. I'm not a fan of wine, wanted to bring some beer, but also wanted to stay in the spirit of things. The beer turned out okay. Good raspberry flavor, a little tart (which is fine with me), but it was lacking...

I recently got a 2.5 gal corny and I'm looking to do my first transfer from a 5 gal corny. I've read up on the forums about the jumper method, but my question is: How do you know when the 2.5 gal corny is full? Checking with my fingers to see if its cold won't work because I plan on...

I'm trying to refine my process. I'm using a 10 gal round cooler with a SS false bottom. When I collect the first runoff I see quite a bit of grain in the first 2 pitchers. It cleans up but I'm still getting some grain husks and small particles in my boil. I've never noticed any off flavors but...

A couple of more additions... it never ends.... Since the keezer is in the garage i wanted to keep bugs out so I got some faucet caps. The SWMBO filled out the chalkboard for me (hobby lobby on sale for $5). I have a dartboard on the other side of the garage so I added a shelf as a place to...

fruits of labor!

finally done! Got the faucets friday and installed everything. I put a foam "camper" insulation around the inside along with with weather stripping on the bottom, then I put the collar on. It was a nice snug fit, no need to attach. I finally taped the inside with some shur-lock tape i had...

Spent the last two days sanding, staining and applying two coats of poly. Faucets and shanks came in today. I checked the fit and 7/8" was the perfect hole size. I plan on adding a insulated tape on the interior and installing tonight. I should be able to enjoy my first beer out of my new...

Update: I didn't get to much done last night. I'm training for a half marathon so I had get a run in. I got the shank holes drilled and sanded exterior down to 220 grit for a nice smooth finish. I went with a 7/8" hole which was the general consensus on the forums. The faucets and shanks...

Like others have said, it fits two with CO2 inside. If you build a big tall enough collar you could probably fit 4. But I would also think that a large collar would encounter more problems with condensation and warm tap lines?

I didn't change the freezer at all, I got it at lowes for $159 on sale and added the 3 year full coverage warranty for an extra $24. Holiday 5 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer (Color: White) Item #: 75729 | Model #: LCM050LC

yeah, i plan on adding insulation after I get it sanded, stained, and add a couple coats of poly. Is the condensation bad? Summers in KC can get pretty hot and I was worried about putting a collar on just for that reason.

more pics!

Update, I did some more work last night. First I picked up a 1x2 which I attached with some wood glue and my nail gun. For the exterior, I picked up a 7' piece of 1x6 red oak (I decided to splurge). I wanted to miter the oak and I'm terrible at making cuts, as you can probably see from my...
