    Supercharging a natural gas BG14 burner

    So, I'm working on my new brew rig build and messing with the BG14 burners. I know they don't put out the same heat as the wok/jet burners, but I needed to do some testing to find out what the real output is. My testing was really focusing around changing burner heights to allow better...

    Upright Keezer, 8 taps, 11 kegs

    I recently built a new keezer that I keep in my garage. I was previously running 6 taps and I wanted to expand just a little more, but I also wanted to add storage for a few kegs to cold condition them. I decided to go with an upright (frost-free) freezer for the smaller footprint...

    4 Tap Keezer (not mine) on CL from local home brewer in SoCal

    http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/app/3279720563.html This is a nice 4 tap keezer from a local home brewer. It's listed at $450, but he's flexible on the pricing. I've seen it first hand (and had many brews from it) and it's in excellent condition.

    Masterbuilt or Bradley electric smoker opinions?

    I'm in the market for a new smoker. I've been using an electric Brinkmann for several years and it's just about at the end of it's life. I really think I'd like to stay with electric as it is easy to deal with and I don't want to have to mess with propane tanks. I could do NG if it is an...

    Trying to be helpful...

    I was in Lowe's the other day pushing my cart around when I collided with a young guy pushing his cart. I said to the young guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." The young guy says, "That's OK. It's a coincidence. I'm...
