I've made 3 all simcoe beers in the last year; 2 pale ales and one IPA (dry hopped). I can't get enough of the stuff!

You could use a corny, but you'd have to let out the co2 after every pour, or at least soon after pouring, otherwise it will get carbonated.

Well I did move up there to get away from NYC. Born and raised in Rockland, NY. Burlington is Awesome, very relaxed and chill. Not as much money to be made though, so I just moved back to Rockland, and I'm making 3 times as much as I was up there...

If you have coils on the back, you should be good to drill. (someone else back me up on that!) What kind of fridge is it? And if you think you still might have coils inside the insulation for some reason, drill a small hole through the sheet metal, and then poke around with a screw driver to...

As long as it has a #1 on the bottom and NOT a #7 it will work fine.

My wife hates almost all beer, the only think I could get her to actually drink was a Frambois. That being said, I keep a keg of cider on tap, and it keeps her happy...

HAHA I did the same thing! And I was at my girlfriends house. What a mess!

Don't worry about the fermentation smell. It will go away.

Well, the earliest I could get there was 6 which is when the last session started, and the line was about half a mile long, so I decided to go to the Three Needs instead...

I had to work last night, didn't get done til 9, and I have to work today, but I should be there tonight..

NO!!! Dont do that!!! The longer the line the better. Helps equalize the pressure so you dont get as much foam. If anything I would use 10ft of line.

What size and how long are your beer lines? Lines that are too short or to big will cause it to foam.

Well also, I've had these Kuhmos for a year and a half and the side walls are dry rotted like crazy. Never had a tire do that after such a short time. I don't think I will be using Kuhmos again.

I went with some fairly new all weather Kuhmos last winter. I have an Audi A4 quattro, so didnt have any problems getting going, it was stopping that was VERY hard. I think I'm going to get Blizzaks this year.

I haven't used a secondary in 8-10 batches. They've all come out great! I'd say just use it as a primary. Leave it in there for about a month and then rack to bottling bucket or keg carefully.
