You can do what I did and buy an elbow shank. You will need to lower one tap in relation to the other, but it is possible to fit two taps onto the 2.5" tower. Here is a picture of my setup. I'm pretty sure we have very similar kegerators. You can use the original tap assembly that...

nope, you will still end up with beer, just slightly less alcoholic. I made the cream ale kit from BB, and it turned out quite well. Let it ferment, bottle, enjoy. RDWHAHB

jaimesbeam - you are correct that this ill be used for a magnetic stirrer. However, you wouldn't want to set a carboy on top of one of these. I think the largest size container most people use for magnetic stirrers are the 1 gallon jugs, also pretty common are 2000mL erlenmeyer flasks

I have the same kegerator and that small gap hasnt posed that great of a problem. the kegerator keeps temperature very well and doesn't kick on more than 3 to 4 times a day

depends on the size of the room this is going into. a room 10x10x10, the 1050cfm would be fine bc the entire room is vacated with air in one minute.

did you buy a beer brewing kit or a recipe kit? they make both. I own the brewers best brewing kit that came with everything needed but the s/s brewpot. Its worked great for me through 10 brews so far. the recipe kits are also just as great, they make very good beer and help you start off...

When i first naturally carbed a keg, i did not seal the lid with enough pressure and when i poured the first pint it was completely flat. Left it on gas for 2 weeks, at 40 degrees F at 12psi and all is well.

Just cut the slots in the socket, when i got my first keg i couldn't get the posts off. I looked online for a special socket and decided to make my own. 6 bucks and 15 minutes later, all done with both posts removed.

I don't think a filter would help an infection. IMO, there would still be a small amount of the bacteria still in the beer even after filtering. I hate to say it, but i think it has to go down the drain. Anything added that might kill the infection, will probably ruin the beer in the end...

Good luck! Hope all goes well. 2 weeks to drinking the fruits of your labor

Im in rockford as well. I went out and purchased a refurbed unit off ebay and learned how to weld using that. Are you trying to weld stainless? Check the yellow pages for a welder, I am no where experienced enough to do the welding for you. Or check out a Forest City Brewers meeting, there...

I don't use RO water, I just use water Rockford, Illinois's city water. I've used it ever since I started brewing. I looked up the water report to try to add Rockford's water to my Beersmith program. They didn't list certain salts. I can post the report if needed. I always figured it was...

I agree. Honey itself is just going to ferment out. Up the honey malt to 1lbs. Other than that, looks pretty good. Good luck with the brew!

wow, thanks for the awesome explanation hampshirebrewer. Much Appreciated. I think im gonna try the original recipe and see what happens. Whether its a stout, sweet stout, porter, etc i should end up with at least beer in the end. Thanks for the input everyone

The 20mL of hazelnut extract flavoring added at bottling, is that 20mL of flavoring added to the bottling bucket or 20mL added to each bottle? Thanks everyone

adding roasted barley will make it a true stout i take it. Thanks for the input guys, i really appreciate it. I am actually going for a fuller beers, each beer i make seems to be thin and i would like more mouth feel. Ive never made a porter, maybe ill try this as a porter recipe and then add...

Was wondering what you guys think about my stout recipe? First recipe from scratch, just need wanted some input on if this is gonna turn out horrible with my hop selection or malt selections. Thanks everyone 7 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) 1 lbs...

I work for a large grocery store with an extremely wide variety of selection of beers in the liquor store and we have a no refunds policy. However, if the beer/wine/liquor/etc is bad, we will either refund the money or replace the product with new product. So much for the no refunds policy...

I agree, build a heat shield

If you are using a round 10 gallon cooler, than 5.5 inches would work out really well, however, if you have a square cooler than that is way too short. Not sure on the 50 mesh part.
