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...

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...

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

All, Hoping some people can shed some light on some lingering questions I have in my research as I go on my own journey of perhaps "going pro". Questions mainly for those who have gone pro with a Nano System (<3BBL): 1. Did you keep your day job? If so, do you maintain your career full...

Hey all, Just got our all grain rig up and running and we're planning on brewing an American Pale Ale this weekend. I've been using Homebrew Formulator and it's working pretty well for me. I just wanted to post the recipe and get some feedback on anything that may look out of place...

The wooden rig is near completion and I wanted to post up a few new pictures to track our progress to date. I'd started this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/got-wood-189818/ but was unable to change the post title to reflect the addition of...PICTURES!! From the last post, we've...

The old Brass v. Stainless Steel conundrum. Until yesterday, we were planning on plumbing our single tier HERMS with 100% copper tubing and Swagelok Brass fittings. Can someone please put my mind at rest on the whole lead contamination thing? Temperature has also got me thinking...what...

...and we're building a brew rig! Finally!! It's going to be a three vessel HERMS system, complete with 58L keggles (one being only 50L). We're being careful to construct so as to avoid scorching the frame, and we're using 3/4" OD, .065" wall 316SS tubing as supports for the keggles. I"m...

Wife won't let me brew on the stove anymore (just moved to a new house) but she's given me the go-ahead for the garage brewery I've wanted since I started brewing. Of course I've done lots of reading here, especially the DIY section on the HERMS/RIMS, electric/propane etc etc. Initially I...

Thinking about doing batch of wine but I don't want to produce ****e. I'm willing to spend a considerable amount on the right kit but wonder how it will compare to commercial wine? Thoughts and opinions?

Hello all, I've searched and searched and I can not for the life of me find a source for the 10 gallon bev. cooler for MLT use. Located in Vancouver, BC...if anyone has any ideas, save a trip to the USA, please let me know. Cheers, G

Hello, So I've been able to secure most of my starting equipment but I've yet to select my kettle because I'm not sure what size I need. I'm going to start with extract brewing but want my first kettle to be versatile enough to handle partial mash brewing. What size do I/should I go with...

Hi Folks, First post here! Been a beer lover for some time now but only got interested in brewing my own when visiting my sister-in-law's farm in Sorrento, BC. The owner of the property is the master brewer for Crannog Ales: Crannóg Ales - Certified Organic Ales brewed on-farm in British...
