    8 tap keezer build

    Can I ask where you sourced the LUKR side pulls? I'm looking for one and the source I've found is Draft Choice. Do you have a preference on the 2 models you have? I prefer the look of the one you have mounted to the right on your keezer but want to make sure that if I'm spending $300 on a single...

    Finally building my new kegerator ( keezer)

    Really like the overall look, the top looks great. In regard to the ventilation question above, the main issue with wrapping a freezer in wood is a freezer doesn't dissipate it's heat around the compressor, it dissipates it through the walls of the freezer. When a freezer is running properly...

    Basement Ventilation Ideas

    I built my hood out of painted birch plywood and built a box for the fan that can be pulled out of the window when I’m not in use. Prior to the hood I would have condensation running down the basement walls. With this setup you can see it collect almost 100% of the steam from the BK. Fan is a...

    Central Montana Homebrew Club - Great Falls, MT

    As I've mentioned before, you can view event details (dates and times) of the meetings without signing into Facebook so you don't need to "be on" Facebook to get the information. And if you're too paranoid to view Facebook from your own personal computer because Mark Zuckerberg cares who you...

    Sour Kettle Berliner Weiss - No Fermentation

    I've been preparing to brew a sour wort berliner for the past couple weeks and one of the most common suggestions given about fermentation has been to pitch a big, active starter due to Ph.

    End of the night tap clean...

    I clean my lines every 2-3 weeks. I built a line cleaner with a tiny pond pump. The pond pump recirculates BLC through the line and faucet. I only use a cap full of BLC and about 2 quarts of water in a bowl and recirculate. Takes about 15 minutes per line. Between pours I let the faucet drip...

    Montana FS: Quick Disconnects

    When I purchased my brewery from High Gravity Brewing Supply, it came with CPC plastic quick disconnects. I wanted more bling in the brewery so I switched to stainless cam-locks and these have been sitting in a box for a couple years. I added everything up and I have nearly $300 in fittings just...

    Dark Mild Reaper's Mild, 1st place 2011 HBT Competition

    PID/thermocouples tested out OK along with all of my other brewery thermometers. I can't think of anything else other than the yeast crapping out early so I'm going to give Wyeast 1098 a shot. Thanks for the input guys.

    Dark Mild Reaper's Mild, 1st place 2011 HBT Competition

    I'm going to check my PIDs on my brewery controller with ice water to see if there is a problem but I can't imagine there is due to all of my beers before and after these two batches hitting their numbers perfectly. I use a refractometer prior to fermentation and a hydrometer during/after...

    Dark Mild Reaper's Mild, 1st place 2011 HBT Competition

    Brewed this recipe twice and could only get it to ferment down to 1.020 both times. I hit suggested mash temps and gravities both times. I used the recommended Nottingham yeast from Danstar, re-hydrated and active each time. Oxygenated the wort with pure oxygen. My heat/cool ferm chamber can...
