I've got a 1/4 hp pump and it's been more than adequate

Awesome project. I did some looking online for something like that in Canada, and I found your motor/gearbox, for $45... Any tips for finding something cheaper on amazon/ebay/aliexpress? (Keywords, websites, etc.)

Hi Bobby_M, looks like you're out of stock of these pieces. Any clue when you'll be getting more in stock?

I'm part way through my keezer build. I didn't have any tools aside from a hammer & drill, nor did I have any woodworking experience. I'm making great - albeit slow - progress by borrowing tools & learning as I go, so I wouldn't rule out woodworking for those reasons alone. That being said, the...

Thanks for the comments YeastMode. I've built the base to allow 3.5" air space on the sides & 1.5" space on the front. If I were to add the 1x4 oak trim straight to the base (opt #2), I was wondering if I'd be able to do without building a pine frame inside the oak one to keep it simpler &...

Hi all Just starting my coffin keezer build which is also my first major woodworking project. Freezer with base (currently doing double duty as ferm chamber) Side view of base/casters Now I'm trying to decide between 2 options for the body: Attach oak panels to base, attach oak trim to...

It sounds like I'm in the same place you are. I've just started amassing parts & pieces for my (eventual) keezer build. Here are a few things I've learned/heard: Freezer - I went with Kijiji, scored a 10 cu ft. for $50. I'm not super concerned with efficiency since the freezer really won't be...

Are you using any lactose? It's an unfermentable sugar commonly used in milk stouts, so it will increase your FG (and OG).

I had this problem too. Turns out it was because my language settings were set to English (Canada). Once I switched them to English (United States), the installation went off without a hitch. I plan on doing a clean install after the weekend. To change language settings: Control Panel >...

Yes.

Temperature affects how much sugar is required to carbonate your beer, but it's the highest temperature the beer reached after fermentaion, not the current temperature of the beer. This is because the solubility of CO2 is temperature dependant. As the temperature of your beer increases, CO2...

I took a look at their site, but their shipping prices (to Alberta) are no match for OBK. For 25# grain, it's $25 to ship with OBK vs $55 with TNBS. Unfortunately that means that any savings from buying less grain are negated by the more expensive shipping. Thanks for sharing the site though...

I've been brewing for nearly a year now, and I've had a great time progressing from just pitching yeast in pre-made wort (I know, I know) to extract and finally all-grain BAIB. As a Canadian, I can't get ingredients cheaper that from Ontario Beer Kegs, with the exception of bulk bags of base...

Have you considered going all-grain via BIAB? It's way cheaper since you only need 1 vessel (10 gallons for 5 gal. batches is a safe bet), it takes less time since you aren't sparging, at it makes the exact same beer as a 2- or 3-vessel system.

Great write-up, and definitely demystifies trying to objectively describe my beers as beginner brewer. On another note, can you share the recipe for your farts, hot dog & pineapple beer? Sounds like a winner.

Looking great; keep it up! I'm subbing to this thread for when my keezer time [eventually] comes!
