    Whats your keg set up?

    Drunkel that's a really helpful post. Its just an old fridge I picked up from a buddy who was moving. I have a thermometer in there to gauge the temp and it reads 40-45f. The frozen foam was shortly after I turned the fridge up to the coldest mark (before it was at a 5 on a 1-9 scale). I'll...

    Whats your keg set up?

    Most Interesting Brew Day

    Learning moment here... What causes such an undershoot? My first batch came in 22 pts low. I boiled 3 gal instead of 2 based upon the recipe I had. I also think I have less than 5 gallons fermenting right now. Any words of wisdom? Its an amber, extract with white labs Irish Yeast. It also took...
