I'm trying to collect everything I need for a new brew keggle and have seen people use about everything. My question is I'm building a keggle and I would like to install a thermometer in the side. I have seen people use the 2" all the way to the 6 or 8" thermometers. But I have also seen...

I have been reading a lot about this and I actually already have a chest freezer that I was planning on building a Keezer out of, but I may go in another direction temporarily . I have several questions but first is if you were going to set up a system to build off of, such as 1 or 2 kegs for...

I am looking for ideas on building a Coffin style keezer with a tower, but also with storage access for bottled beer without having to open the whole top. Maybe just accessing one side for the beer bottles. Please share pics if you have done this. Thanks

How do you guys clean your fermentation buckets? I've been washing them with soap and water after fermentation is over, and then before I use them again I use Star San before adding the wort. I am on my 7th or 8th batch now and have noticed that my bucket has a pretty strong beer smell to it...

Well I know you guys get tired of seeing these threads, but I don't know where else to turn. This is my 4 batch and this is the first time I have seen my beer look like this after fermenting for 3 weeks in a primary. I already bottled it on Sunday, but as you can tell I took a pic because...

Ok I have in my opinion been successful in brewing, fermenting, and bottling 3 brews so far. All of the beer has been very tasty, but my last brew which was a German Weizenbier that I filtered with a paint strainer and used a homemade hops spider all in an attempt to have a cleaner, clearer...

What if any are the advantages of the different type of 5 gal kegs? I see ones called Cornys, I see some called Ball lock, and some called Pin lock. Some with 2 handles some with one handle and some that don't appear to have a handle at all. Also are all of the connections on top the same...

I have read all kinds of stuff on this, and just wondering what you guys think. When transferring from the boil kettle to the fermenter do you strain to remove the left over residue from the grains, and hops. On my first batch of Belgian Wit I didn't but on my second batch I did, and of course...

I see a lot of guys doing this to spray things down before bottling or transferring from primary to secondary. My question is how long does it stay active and does it hurt anything to leave it in there for extended amount of time?

Has anyone ever used this model for a Keezer? Just don't want to buy something that I can't convert easily...

Has anyone ever used one of the plastic water bottles they sell at Lowes or other home improvement stores with bottled water, for a secondary fermenter? I was in Lowes the other day and they sell these around $13 full of spring water. I don't really need the water but I could use it for a brew...

New to the brewing group so go easy on me if you see any rookie mistakes. I received my stainless steel 30qt pot Friday and that is all I was waiting on to brew my first batch of Belgian Wit from Wilmington Home Brew. It took a little longer than I thought but I learned a lot and we enjoyed...

Hello everyone. I received a Brewers Best Beer kit for Christmas, and I have been reading and watching videos on the process ever since. I just found this forum yesterday after a search to find out how to determine what material a keg is made of, and joined. This is my first post, and since I...
