Hey guys, so I'm looking into getting a couple 5 gallon kegs. Up until now I've been bottling and I'm ready to make the transition. This post is about keeping those kegs cold. I have space in my basement for a small chest freezer that could hold 2 or 3 kegs with the co2 inside. What size freezer sho...

I've been batch priming from the start. I do it for two reasons. One, it's far less time consuming then adding sugar to each individual bottle. and two, every beer in the batch comes out equally carbonated. I started out using regular table sugar, but for the majority of by batches I use corn sugar....

These fermenters are really popular on the Facebook "Home Brewers" page. Guys really seem to like them. I'm currently a wide mouth glass fermenter and although I have made some great beer in it, I hate it when it comes time to clean it. a 7 gallon glass vessel is obviously fragile and I'm ...

bump. need keep this at the top of the list

Do you guys know anything about electricity? You don't need to wire a GFI outlet any differently than a standard outlet. If the outlet doesn't trip, the outlet itself if faulty.

Thanks for all the replies guys! I think I'm going to get myself a 10 gallon pot!

Hey guys, I'm looking to dive into all grain brewing pretty soon and I think I want to start with BIAB. But I'm confused about the equipment I need. Specifically the pot. What size pot do I need for 5 gallon batches? What about a 3 gallon batch? Also, I have an extra large burner on my gas range tha...

This forum is dead lately. We need an update on this thread. I can't wait any longer

Man, wish I would have seen this post first. Oh well. It's a hell of a nice gesture !

I picked up this hobby a little over a year ago and it's amazing how much stuff I've acquired in that short time. I think my next pricier purchase will be equipment to start doing all grain batches. I'm not quite ready to do it yet. Up until Christmas the largest batch I had done was 2 gallons. But ...

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up pulling the trigger on the $55 50 foot stainless one off amazon this morning. I'm thinking it'll get the job done even though it's probably not the most luxurious thing in the world. Sure beats an ice bath!

Yeah, $160 is a little steep for me. I was wondering if there's anything decent in the $50 range. Do I need 25 or 50 feet for a 4 gallon pot of wort?

Also, what is the difference between the stainless steel and the copper models?

After doing my last 5 gallon batch I realized I could benefit from a wort chiller. I think I spent 45 minutes trying to cool it down to 70 degrees last time and I don't want to do that again. I've seen what is offered on Northern Brewers website but they seem a little pricey and I'm not even sure wh...
