Anyone own one of the Concord 60 QT Stainless pots? I'm tempted...

I assume this is the American Black Ale or Black IPA style you're referring too. If so you should try Sublimely Self-Righteous by Stone. It's very good. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/stone-xi-anniversary-clone-51521/index20.html I converted ChemEMc's recipe from this thread to...

About a year ago I saw a video of a home made tool that someone made from nuts, bolts and washers for creating a flat area where the weldless ball valve attaches to the keggle. I think the idea behind it was that the keggle would be less likely to leak if the washer were on a flat surface...

I'm not set up for kegging so it will be a few weeks before I can tell how bad the damage is. I'll make sure to update this post when I try it for the first time (probably 2-3 weeks after bottling). I won't have the hops for dry hopping until Monday so I figure I'll bottle Friadyish to limit...

Thanks for the info. I guess the idea of my beer being clearer is the main reason I use a secondary. Not sure if it's actually true, but I hear ya. I may just stick to primary for now on. Do you dry hop in a primary?

It's probably just as you're picturing in your head. I did not take a reading when I transferred. I have a light bubble coming out of my airlock every 15-20 seconds (transfered 2 hours ago). I'm not sure if this is any guarantee that the CO2 will fill the carboy up and purge the O2 though...

So I racked my Two-Hearted Clone to a secondary after fermenting for 7 days. Normally when I transfer my wort to the primary, I filter it through a mesh strainer. Forgot to do that this past time so I figured I when I racked to secondary (carboy) from primary (bucket) I would attempt to filter...

Don't spaz out yet! Leave it be, bottle it and try it again in six weeks. Some of my beers were very very bitter from primary to secondary and even secondary to bottle (almost undrinkable). After 4-6 weeks they mellowed substantially and turned out great (they were IPA's though). I haven't...

Please keep the pics coming. I'm enjoying this one!

Or you could do it this way... He purchased extra hinges from the freezer manufacturer. What would be really cool is if he made the lock on the front functional... Edited to add second image...

Awesome!

I actually meant to say 1 x 8. My question had more to do with the keg on the shelf having clearance. Any thoughts? How high is the shelf from the bottom?
