I'll take $200 or best offer.

Pasadena.

2 keggles cut with ports 1 keg 5 Corny kegs 2 LP tanks KAB4 burner Copper immersion chiller 2 CO2 tanks. This stuff hasn't been used in several years and definitely needs cleaning. Burner probably needs a new hose, and the tanks probably need inspection. $300 for all of it as is. I'm not...

I brew with a three keggle system. I would agree with the priority: first keg becomes brew kettle, second keg becomes HLT. The reason the mash tun is the lowest priority to make out of a keg is because the cooler is just fine and has the advantage of staying at temp better. I did a lot of...

I can't say I've used the KAB6 for 5 gallon batches, but I use one for 10 gallon batches and I bet you could turn it down to where it would be fine. That said, if you're serious about the 10 gallon batches, keep it.

I'm going to second the StarSan suggestion. Use it. Love it. Don't fear the foam.

Yes. I tried it on one of mine. That's apparently what 12 point means. Still works on regular style too.

I've only done one partigyle and it was a while ago, but I did use BeerSmith. What I did was create a parent recipe that was as if it were not a partigyle brew at all, but without hops and yeast and stuff to calculate the mash. Then I created two child recipes that were done to calculate the...

My first homebrew way back in 1992 was a porter because I was a fan of Wild Goose's porter. Now it's tied for first as my favorite style, along with about ten or fifteen other styles! ;) Still, Porter is a sentimental favorite.

Sorry, got too busy for Homebrewtalk for a while there and, unfortunately, too busy to brew for some of that time. Three kids will do that to you. Just got back into things with two batches a few days apart. To answer the questions about the window unit A/C, at first I was kind of...

Any hefeweizen or blonde ale is always a good candidate. I've done both with fresh strawberries. About half a flat of strawberries in 5 gallons works well. Add them after primary fermentation has wound down for the most part. A Mild Ale would probably be nice too, but you might want to try...

I was feeling pretty excited that I found this wrench for the same purpose on my own and was going to post something about it here, but I see, as usual, HBT has already covered this. Great wrench. Makes cleaning kegs way easier. It's a vast improvement from the adjustable wrench I was using...

I too did an extract batch recently after a long stretch of all grain, mostly because I wanted beer and didn't have a lot of time to brew. I just steeped in my full boil volume and it was fine. In fact, possibly because this was the first extract recipe I've ever done with a full boil, or...

I brew 10 gal, so I have two Cornies of the same beer in my kegerator right now, and both have been force carbed at the same pressure. They're on a split hose. I tapped the first keg two weeks ago and it was really foamy, so I just moved the liquid line over to the other keg which was...

I'm really new at the homemade soda thing. I just got a Carbonator cap recently, used it to carb the beer that wouldn't fit in my kegs. After I drank that I made a two liter batch of Tazo Passion tea, sweetened it with 1/4 cup of sugar and carbonated that to 30 PSI at 50F, before moving it to...

It's not an issue. They only put 15 lbs in there! It's a rip off, but it's not an "issue". ;) http://www.bluerhino.com/BRWEB/Help/FAQ/Tank-Exchange/How-much-propane-does-Blue-Rhino-put-in-its-tanks-.aspx

Two tanks is pretty mandatory in my mind. I wouldn't even start a brew without knowing one was full.

Blue Rhino, Amerigas and the other tank swap places put 15 lbs in a 20 lb tank. Around me they're $20 to $23 for a swap. I have a hardware store that's only charging $16.99 for a real 20 lb fill. Unless you have no alternative, tank swap is a rip off.

I brewed with friends for a few years doing 10 gallon batches on an SQ-14 and we were getting about two batches per 15 lb tank, same as the OP. I recently started brewing by myself at my house and am using a KAB-6. I'm getting my tanks filled at a hardware store for $16.99 for 20 lbs, but I'm...

I actually tried it on Memorial Day and it gummed up my two roller Valley Mill. For the little bit that worked properly, I could really see that the husk was more intact, but then I had to widen my gap to crush the rest of the grain bill. I wasn't too happy with the remaining crush. Does...
