So been a while since I posted, brewed or built anything. Well here are a few more tap handles I recently made. Hope to make more during Christmas break. May try making some to sell.

Looks really kool. I would almost suggest collapsable outriggers for stability on brew day. Something that just folds down and locks into place to keep it from tipping.

I like the Demented Dubel. Sounds like your brew day for your first Bret went like mine. I shall follow this and see how it goes.

Finally decided to get an idea out of my head and into steel. This is 100% scrap steel. The clover is the only non-stainless material. You can see what I cut up to get that. The shaft portion is part of a sanke keg tube from one of the many tips I have laying around. Inspired by and will be...

Brewed a father and son cream ale yesterday. 406.5+5= 411.5 gallons

As you can see yes you can use a stainless steel keg as a brewing tool. I have used one for all my brews except one. My current keggle does not have a ball valve as I have not had the money nor the setup for one yet. I simply chill then rack to primary. Worked for about 20+ batches so far. Lol...

My two cents. Do NOT use harbor freight disc. They are cheap and dangerous. I've had them explode on me while I was notching a truck frame. Thank god I wear safety glasses and a face shield. I got some decent ones from Lowes. Under $2 a piece.

Bad arse man! I have a bit of fabricating background and am dying to get my funds together to build a stand. I really like the idea of partially automated.

All cleaned up and bigger blowoff tube used. Now to get the temp down. It's heated up from the inside.

Fixing to. It's still like a friggin volcano. Going to use bigger blowoff tube this time.

Brewed my first attempt at several things. First black/brown double IPA, first double IPA, first time pitching on an existing yeast cake and my first experience w/ an OG over 1.100. Well decided to start fermentation at a cooler temp and left the Black Abyss in the garage. Glad I did. This was...

Ha nice thread. I often wonder how many looks I get. The immediate neighbors know I brew. The down side is I live in MS so it IS illegal. I never worry though now it appears a MS highway patrol officer is moving in across the corner so we shall see.

Thanks! That was my second ever AG batch.

This was mine last week when I brewed. It's a basic 7% pale ale dry hopped w/ 2oz of Amarillo hops. Was my first ever on keg. I've bottled every bit up until this.

Update this thing turned out pretty good and easy drinking. It took a few weeks to age and not taste so green. It's got a good cloudy color and nice floral aroma with a creamy white foam head.
