More info on the fire and safety shop in Langley? How much for a fill? I've got a 5lb tank, do they fill on the spot? Cheers, G

Folks, Wondering if anyone has taken a glass door beverage/wine cooler and had success converting into a kegerator. I'm wanting 2-3 corneys and will be building sort of a show piece bar (polished corneys, etc.). Anyone with any experience? I know some say that certain coolers won't get...

It's a Silver based lubricant/coating for both high temperature and to prevent galling during break/remake of the fitting.

So I'm thinking about building a keezer, holding two to three corny's at serving temperature, and maybe use for lagering in the future. What sort of longevity are users seeing from the compressor. A freezer is designed to freeze, and overriding the temperature with an external controller must...

Says the stand guy! LOL!

Sockeye, send me a PM - interested in what you have in mind.

We did brew 10 gallon batches between the two of us. Keep or rebuild, I still want to maintain the 10 gallon capability. We talked and sorted out a reasonable settlement, but I have to do a cost analysis on where I'd like to take the current set up as opposed to selling up and starting again...

Best way to determine market value?

So, just over a year ago I built a single tier wooden sculpture, HERMS, polished Keggles, March Pumps, etc - quite a nice system. I built the rig with one of my friends who is a neighbour of mine and was really looking to get into homebrewing. We each invested about $500 to build the rig, had...

Folks, Quick question on a pending BIAB conversion of sorts. What size SS basket is idea for an American Sanke keggle? Got my rig up for sale with the idea of starting fresh with Bayou pots and basket, but I'm probably able to reuse many of the components I already have on my current setup...

I got a vacuum packaged bag of hops, 4.3oz. of organic Magnum from a friends farm about a year ago. I've kept these in my freezer until now and am hoping to use them in an IPA this weekend. Still good? Or should I get some more from the LHBS? G

Dryhop with Magnum? 0.25oz? 0.5oz? 1oz?

You're absolutely right, I must be blind. Thanks!

Ok to use Nottingham Ale yeast with this one? Planning a batch for this weekend.

Hi Des, Thanks for the insightful post! It seem like you've got a comfortable operation going over there, Prost! Some more background information on this venture - the need for a separate brewing facility, namely commercial lease, leasehold upgrades, etc, sort of puts a stranglehold on...
