Here are the kegerators for reference.... Non-stainless kegerator: EdgeStar Kegerator (Black Dual Faucet) Stainless door kegerator: EdgeStar Kegerator (Stainless Steel Dual Faucet)

I've been homebrewing for a couple years and my DIY cheap fridge-kegerator died. Looking to replace it with something I can store not in the garage :) EdgeStar has a 2-keg kegerator that has a regular (?) door and one that has a stainless door. The stainless door is $40 more. Does anyone have...

Second update: Now that I've been able to try it several times, I would probably cut back a bit on the volume of cucumbers used. I'd probably use 66% or so of what I've used. The cucumber flavor is a bit strong for my taste, but my girlfriend (who loves cucumbers) thinks it's great.

Update: I decided to go with just cucumber in the cream ale instead of cucumber + basil. I kegged it yesterday, and the sample I took for a final gravity reading tasted surprisingly great! Cucumber flavor is definitely present but it's light/not overwhelming. I added 3.5 lb of peeled and thinly...

If you had to try again, would you still add them to the whirlpool? From what I've read it sounds like many people think that high heat may change the flavor profile; it sounds like the general consensus is to add them to secondary.

Classic mango supply surge. 😂 I'm going to brew something with cucumber and basil in a cream ale next weekend. Still in research mode. Currently thinking ~3 lb. of peeled cucumber and .2 lb of a basil tincture in secondary. I'll update.

@Kunal Vanjare how did your experiment turn out? I'm also looking into making a cucumber (or maybe cucumber+basil) cream ale for my girlfriend so would love to hear how your experience turned out.

Yikes, my late night arithmetic is horrendous

Am I reading correctly that the revenue does not cover rent?

My go-to is generally streaming NPR over my smart speakers. If I want to listen to music instead, it'll be bands like Hippo Campus, The 1975, Arkells, etc.

Have the grain scale and the flask also sold?

Got it. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I just don't want to spend a lot of money getting a new dual regulator...would rather alter my current setup cheaply. :) So is it possible if I just take off the CO2 bottle pressure gauge, put the second regulator where it went, and add the CO2 bottle pressure gauge back on...

Ah. I'm assuming that I can't remove the CO2 tank pressure gauge from the side of the primary regulator and attach it to the side of the secondary regulator, because by the point the gas reaches it, it will already be "regulated" and not give a good reading?
