Wow guys i feel terrible, i started this post however so far haven't done any due to a family funeral and lots of other things coming up at the wrong time. I am planning on making this an ongoing thing so maybe post 1 post with all 7 brews at the end of their period. I will start mine as soon as...

Completely agree about documenting measurements, also a few of mine may only be 1Liter containers as we have around 4 of them and not many 2 liters but should still be good :)

Sorry for the late reply guys, looks like we have a fair amount of people @saramc: We would all make whatever not all make the same things :) The 7th sounds good Is everyone else ok with that? PICTURES: picture every day of the new brew This would end on the 21st when everyone will...

Love the idea of Chili wine

Fair enough, however for anyone else interested its only 7 2 liter bottles that wont take up much more space than a brew bucket, if not people can do 1 liter ones as its more the amount of different ones than the volume of them. Stocky_s

No i haven't gone clinically insane (yet anyway). I was sitting down looking at brew related googlestuffs, and decided i wanted to make a neutral-ish flavored alcohol. Soooo looking around home all i could come across was a melon, so i boiled it, mashed it added 500g of sugar, let it cool to...

oops fogot this the finished product...

Finally finished the build today... firstly i had to fit the tap, so i cut through the metal of the door as you can see i have added a layer of ply wood to stop the metal bending. to do this i cut the insulation to the size of the wood, drilled a hole then i had to make...

Quick thing i forgot to add the fridge has the chiller at the back, which is just in line with thte top shelf, i plan to use this for storing bottles of my brews. it also saved on bending the chillers as you have to with some fridges.

My main brews are cider and theres nout worse than having a nice cider getting warm on a summer day, this left me with no option but to come up with a way of cooling it, after messing with tons of ideas, from ice buckets to water cooler machiens, i decided a kegerator was the safest and best...
