Here's my set up.

A ceramic pumpkin.

Keg is almost kicked. Need to brew another batch. It really cleared up nice.

The photo is a little dark but the zd is clear and the head is thick. Thanks for the great recipe.

rounding up the ingredients for this recipe. Have brewed this twice and love it. Especially sitting outside on a fall night by a fire. Will be trying this with BIAB for the first time. I hope the wort will drain ok from the bag. Thanks again for this recipe.

Count me in. Thanks

Here is my setup in a small brew shed.

Im in. Thanks!

Finally was able to dimple the Hoff Stevens keg.(after going through 2 of the copper reducers)

My brew shed setup.

That's a good idea. Thanks for the info.

After my success with the kettle I decided to try it with a Hoff Stevens kettle. The keg was much thicker material and the pvc coupler failed. Not sure if a new coupler would have fared better. I went out and picked up a galvanized 1 inch pipe coupler and will try that next. I will update later.

I applied all the heat from the outside. I took my time and directed the heat to an area about 6 inches surrounding the joint and then put some heat on the top of the fitting but never directly on the solder. It took about 7-8 minutes.

Thanks.
