    Keggle thermometer fogging - solutions?

    Built a keggle about 2 years ago with two welded SS couplings....one for a 3-piece ball valve and one for a combo Miljoco thermometer and sightglass. Recently moved and during my first brew since, the thermometer fogged up so bad I couldn't read the temps. Any ideas if this is fixable...

    Help me move from Extract to All Grain. Equipment discussion

    I've been brewing with extract for the past two years and I think I'm ready to move to all grain. Most of my buddies have moved on so I'm looking for additional suggestions to acquire the equipment needed to move to AG. I'd like to have the ability to brew average OG 10 gal batches or higher OG...

    Help needed for Keezer - and my 16 month old son...

    Long story short, I built a budget-build 20 cu ft Keezer using an old Admiral chest freezer from craigslist. Repainted it white, did a simple 2x6 collar, and threw a couple of cheap harbor freight furniture dollys under it to make it mobile. CO2 tank is loose on the outside, temp controller...

    Question regarding grain steeping

    A friend of mine introduced me to homebrewing back in June. He brews all grain and hadn't done an extract brew in a couple of years prior to June. Long story short, I am doing a full boil using a 15.5 gallon kettle and when he taught me to steep the grains, we started by using the full...

    Beer not carbonating in keg?

    Today is a week after I've kegged and carbed my 3rd homebrew. First brew was an Bells Oberon clone extract. Primary fermentation lasted only 12 days. Racked to keg, 20 psi for 3 days, then ~8 psi for a week before first mug. Beer was good and got better as it aged (lasted all of 3.5 weeks)...

    Old kegerator = fermentation chamber? Or not...

    I'll try to keep this brief..... Should I keep my old kegerator to use as a fermentation chamber, or sell it and use the cash to finish my keezer (and possibly have money towards a brew kettle or other brewing supplies) and then find a full size refrigerator later down the line? I recently...

    Keezer temp controller sensor location

    I've read some other posts, but I think my situation is slightly different. Recently built my keezer. Older 20 cuft Admiral chest freezer. Added a 2x6 collar and a Ranco digital temp controller. Originally I had the sensor going through a hole in the back of the 2x6 placing the sensor...

    Idea's for next Extract brew?

    I currently have an American IPA on draft, an Apfelwein in primary, and an Oktoberfest in secondary. IPA was just tapped and has less than 5 mugs out of it. Oktoberfest and Apfelwein should be ready to keg at the end of September. I need some ideas for a nice fall beer to compliment...

    Perlick 525SS order won't be shipped. What to get instead?

    I'm rebuilding my kegerator as the current equipment is broken and hasn't been used in some time. I decided to rebuild it right so I got all new lines, connections, faucet (Perlick 525SS) and a stainless shank elbow. I just received an email regarding the Perlick 525SS that was on order...

    New homebrewer - Rebuild kegerator or start fresh?

    I have a smaller, older kegerator that I'm in the middle of "refreshing". I haven't used the kegerator for draught beer in 2+ years....it's only used to house my bottled beer now. The exterior is a dark brown and there is some surface rust on the top where the faucet had previously dripped...

    New guy

    New guy here...craft beer lover, rookie homebrewer, father and husband from Cincinnati, Ohio. I had a short story explaining my progressions from "refusing to drink beer almost than 10 years ago" into "I prefer liquor, but I'll drink a Bud Light" into "Craft beer snob" and currently into...
