Yep! I can maintain lagering temps in the left chamber (34 degrees or 50 during fermentation) and ale temps in the right chamber (63 to 88 depending on bier). All in all it's been a great investment.

YES it did! I have since then stained the edge and painted the front white. The next plan is to get some sort of signage so I can show what is in each chamber. I'll get pics next week. I'm out of town for work right now.

Good point, I didn't explain that. The lager chamber is cooled by the freezer with an 80mm computer fan pushing air around so the entire chamber gets cold air. The ale chamber has another 80mm fan on the lager side pushing cold air through a 3" hole at the bottom rear of the chamber. Then...

Here's my 7.3%ABV 2 week old Kettle Sour Saison. She's tart, spicy, delicious and not at all boozy. This one could be dangerous.

I have been planning doing this build for quite a while. A huge thank you to the plethora of people on here that gave me the inspiration. It was inspired by my dorm fridge I was using as a fermentation chamber breaking. Once that happened, I got the approval from SWMOB to create “The...

Daytripper - thank you so much! And thanks everyone who was so quick to jump on this. I took off the head and it spun. I then took the head apart and found a huge chunk of ice blocking the wheel from spinning. Oh the joys of winter brewing… Re-assembled and all is well. Sorry to sounds...

I have a plastic head chugger pump. I have been using it flawlessly for about 2 years now. I was about to transfer sparge water from my HLT to MT and nothing….I turn on the pump, there is plenty of water flowing through so it's not dry and nothing…The pump sounds like it wants to move…but...

I realize this may be a little bit of a cheat, since there are welds on my brew stand. But since I bought it like this and modified I technically didn't weld anything :) I bought the base stand from Academy sports, it's a 2 burner table. Then I cut out the propane tank holder in the middle...

I just got my 25 gallon Kettle delivered. Now I can get full 90 boils and fill a 1/2 barrel keg. This year, I'm not running out of beer at our Oktoberfest!

Has anyone heard of this program? I know they've done them throughout the nation earlier this year, but can't find anything more than that. Obviously I know I could become a BJCP certified judge, but ultimately my goal is to work for a brewery in some capacity (either brewing or on the...

Here's my 2013 Xmas ale label. Thoughts?

What size kettles do you use? As mentioned, I use full 15 gallon keggles and don't want to go down from that. It just looks a bit small to hold both of the keggles weight.

I'm looking for a transportable 2 burner brew system, and have stumbled across this as a cheap option. It's the Concord Double Burner Brew stand. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GHZR90G/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Has anyone used these? I like that I could easily add wheels to this thing...

Here's my label for one of our Oktoberfest party beers. In the printed version the hops look much more crisp - not sure why they're blending in so much online. Thoughts?

I just picked up a 6 port cold plate plus 6 pin lock gas qd's for $50! Gotta love when you get brewing toys for cheap! That never happens. It also has a soda gun on it...not sure what to use that for. Suggestions?

I can't bring homebrew to the venue we're having the wedding at, so we're hosting a "welcome happy hour" at our house for all guests after the rehearsal dinner the night before. I'll have everything kegged and served out of a tap box I built. Here's what I have going that night: Red IPA - 5...

I completely agree with the Schlafly APA. It's been one of my favorite go to beers for years. In fact...I'm going to go buy a six pack.

You can easily fit a carboy in it without modification. You can not however fit a bucket in it without the door being slightly ajar. I've lagered in in this kegerator several times. CHEERS!

Ha! Apparently it is! I like the label - it's a cool twist on the caution label. Also - it's very simple, which is nice. Nice job
