    Cheap-a-draft $20 kock off

    Drilled a 15/16" hole in a 3L soda bottle cap. I drilled out a 5.5 stopper to accept two 5/32" beverage lines - gas in, beer out. Two adapters to connect the 5/32" to my regulator and picnic tap and there you have it. I'm planning to discretely run the gas line into the fridge and stash the...

    Internal Fermentation Chiller

    Any thoughts on this? Similar to SOFC in that it uses ice for cooling. I'm working on this for an engineering school project. This is our crude, stripped down prototype so far. (forgive the poor insulation) Pumps ice-cooled water through the coiled aluminum heat exchanger. Extended...

    Temperature Control - Do you have any?

    I've never brewed a lager before. I've always been limited on equipment. Recently a few fellow students (ME students from Georgia Tech) and myself decided to develop a home brew temperature regulation system (without a refrigerator) for those who want the ability to precisely control...
