    No airlock lid?! Blow off Emergency setup

    When I first started I had the same issue. After getting everything done and prepped for the airlock I couldn't find the top to the 3 piece bubbler. So, I decided to put a tube on the top end and put the other end in a quart - half gallon jug/jar with star-san. After a while I found this worked...

    Upright Keezer, 8 taps, 11 kegs

    Bit the bullet and made two holes to the right and above the inside back panel (hump). This was done with a 1/8" bit and barely drilling through. Then I used a 12 gauge bare copper wire to probe the hole. Nothing but insulation so I enlarged the hole using a larger bit that was the same...

    Upright Keezer, 8 taps, 11 kegs

    Thanks for the reply back. Yes, I'm familiar with the old cornstarch method of finding the coolant lines. Used to have a little Sanyo two corny keggerator that was sweet before it bit the dust. That seems like a long time ago when everyone on here was doing that type of conversion. Then came...

    Upright Keezer, 8 taps, 11 kegs

    It's been a while since I've posted on this site so bear with me. I recently purchased a Fridgidaire 20 cu ft model (frost free-no coils in the shelves) to convert like the OP. I have gone over all of the replies from everyone here. My concern is that do I really want to drill a few holes in the...

    frist batch of beer quetion

    Give it a couple weeks in the secondary and then see what your gravity reading is. The yeasties appear to be eating again. Keep checking on it and take gravity readings the last 3 days of the second week. Like I stated in last post a Hefe yeast should have attenuated down to 1.012 or 1.010.

    frist batch of beer quetion

    Hmmm.... 1.020 and it's been about 4 weeks? That Hefeweizen yeast should have attenuated down to atleast 1.012 or 1.010.

    poor efficiency

    I agree with djsethall. Do you crush your own grains or do you have your LHBS do the crushing for you? Not sure also if it could be a bad batch of 2 row. Sometimes that can happen. If that's the case then you could try a different mashing method. Try this link...

    frist batch of beer quetion

    First of all... relax. Not really sure of what it could be. All I've seen is that you have a wheat based beer that has been fermenting for the past 3 weeks and you seemed worried about the raspberry flavor. Once again...relax. Also you are asking questions about a beer and haven't provided a...

    DIY Motorized grain mill...

    Nice and Sweeeeet! You'll like the fact that you have the mobility for the cart. Also at 40 inch lbs of torque you are right there for a good crush and it shouldn't bog down at all providing you have your gap set. I like the fact you have a reverse on the switch too. I wish I had bought my motor...

    RIP Sanyo 4912 Kegerator ??

    No icing of coils. Damn thing won't even turn on to cool. Just wondering if being low on freon would keep it from cycling on at all? Comments?

    RIP Sanyo 4912 Kegerator ??

    Bump ditty Bump! Well my little sanyo 4912 has bit the dust. I was working around the house the other day and it was beer thirty. So I went to pull a pint off of the keggerator and didn't think too much about the foam issue from the new keg of pilsner I made. I came back to top off the pint...

    Sanyo 4912 Freon Line

    First- How old is the 4912? Second- How about taking a little more time and try the cornstarch method. If anything atleast you could take advice from ebeer and try his method. But watch the pilot bit for the holesaw. Depending on what brand of holesaw you can use it will depend on the...

    Tepache!

    What's the ABV of this pruno wine? Someone posted that it was a low alcohol drink. BTW like the idea of the fermentor. Cool!

    Soldered a copper dip tube but its black...

    Assuming you used a flux that was rated for copper pipe you should be good. As for the "blackened" places on the copper.... well that's just where the flux had gotten too hot and has left soot on the pipe. A wire brush will take it right off. I would suggest cleaning with soap and hot water...

    Weissbier Bee Cave Brewery Bavarian Hefeweizen

    I made a hefe last month using the 3068 strain and I fermented at 62F for two weeks. I kegged 5 gallons and had enough left for a 12 pack. It's been in the keg for a week now and to me I would say that the banana and clove aroma/taste are more pronounced. I've made hefe's before using the same...

    That will buff out, really.

    how old was her car? Just want to know if there is a certain "age" that the lens will start to "fog" over. In my case I have two vehicles that I will need to perform this function on in the near future. One definitely. Thanks for the info. Yeah, before and after photos are priceless.

    Motorized Barely Crusher

    Personally I think you have a great "motorized grain mill". Also, if it works for what you need and and your efficiency is great then screw all the other naysayers. As far as pulleys and sheaves are concerned then by all means do what it takes to make it safe and keep it cost effective. Sorry...
