Reviving an old thread. I just bought this burner to use with the natural gas connection on my patio. I'm going to plug the outside tips (mentioned above) and give it a shot. It won't mount to my Dark Star - so I'll have to figure out another way, but have some ideas based on this thread. Lots...

Selling a new in box Grainfather electric brewing system. If you are brewing beer with pots and propane, the Grainfather is a great way to go all electric while also allowing consistency from brew to brew. It had a small footprint, so no more storing 3 vessels, and it also includes a...

Seems way too expensive. Its nice but I agree, there is nothing that stands out other than the room it provides to cool. If you decide to go it on your own, there are lots of builds out there. I bought a used freezer off craigslist for cheap and built my own. You don't have to be an expert...

In the dining room where it belongs...for now! Build details here!

thefolkmetal: did you get a chance to brew? How did it turn out?

Great giveaway - I'm in!

Happy Saturday!

In!

It's about time to re-brew this recipe. Let us know how yours turns out cantrell!

and how does it taste now? I have the same issue with my brown ale. Kegged without a hydro reading because I broke my hydro (typical). I have it carbed and its VERY sweet (likely stuck in the 20's). So - should I siphon to a carboy and repitch (maybe Notti) like you did? Did it turn out...

Did not see that issue; thanks for sharing. I've got the ingredients for the original recipe I posted and am looking forward to brewing it shortly for the holidays! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Andy - don't know how I missed your post, but I'm glad it turned out good. I really enjoy Celebration, and still think this recipe is about as close as it comes. I am looking forward to it coming out soon (although I'm enjoying Flip Side now). I just bought the ingredients to start brewing...

Cycl - Keglove has worked great. I like the smaller keg because of portability, but it's also easy to plan a batch size and fill. You either do a small batch (which I'll do as BIAB), or you make a large batch (7-8 gallons) of your favorite brew and fill 5 and 2-3 gallon kegs!

I just read an article in this month's BYO about no chill brewing. You basically brew your beer and then let it cool (generally overnight) to ambient, and pitch your yeast. In the warm months it is difficult to get my brew close to pitching temp using my immersion chiller, so I am considering...

Not so ancient orange mead (1 gallon version): Brew day blog: http://boykingbrewhaus.com/2014/01/11/brew-day-sweet-mead/

Educating my friends that a little trigger pressure goes a long way. The issue comes when they lay on the gas before checking carbonation, so encouraging them to pour first, and then give it a small shot of CO2 if needed!

KPR - sorry, don't know how I missed your question. I didn't find it difficult. I had to mount the entire hinge to the collar (unlike some builds where you can mount one portion to freezer and the other to the collar). Because the collar was secured well using both liquid nails and 8...

Thought I would share my portable draft system for anyone else who might be interested. I tried to keep it simple and easy to bring with me (and a 3 gallon keg made that easy). If you're interested in how I did it (again, pretty simple but very useful), I wrote it up here...

Added a DFH cap catch (against a piece of stained oak) and a fan to the inside of the keezer to keep the temperature even. I've been using Eva Dry to try to keep moisture in check, but it doesn't seem to be working. I've ordered another Eva Dry as well as Damp Rid. I just need to get some...
