AHS sells herb balls that are similar, so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use that one.

What up! Wife's from central Jersey, but she got smart and moved down to Texas with me. :mug:

I have the AHS immersion chiller, and use it until the wort gets down to tap water temps. Then I hook it up to an el cheapo submersible pump from Harbor Freight that is submerged in a cooler of ice water. I get 5 gallons down to below 80 in less than 15 minutes.

100 gallons? I suggest fusion.

Awesome. I'm usually there on Thursdays--just got my plate hung up!

Thanks for having me. In other news, just filled my first keg this afternoon, an AHS Munich Helles. Good stuff. I've been brewing for a few years, but just now got around to kegging. Slainte!

as a lifelong texas rangers fan, no, not really. :mug:

that's what she said?

good work. another example of 'RDWHAHB.'

aren't corona labels painted on? you're going to have quite a tough time getting those off with anything except a razor blade.

Hey there guys, happy to be here. I'm in Round Rock, Texas, in the shadow of the Dell Diamond, home of the Round Rock Express. Just built a keezer, now working to fill it.

here's mine. found the freezer on craigslist for $40. only one tap so far, though there's room for six cornies in there if i put two on the hump. :mug:

Good work! How did you build the distributor? I want to do the same thing.

when folks use these as fermenters, do they add another drain to the bottom, so they have one for the beer and one for dumping the trub? how does the plastic hold up to drilling and mounting another spout?

ha! that's great--i'd try that, but i don't think my wife would appreciate a box hanging from the vents in the ceiling.
