I'm heavily biased owing to injury: Fuggles, EKG's and their immediate relatives seem to have a mild muscle-relaxant property that other hops lack, particularly when combined with dark to amber malts...after that; Magnum, Willamette and Citra. I suspect the harsh labour conditions of the...

YES!!! Radio-Flyer and either acquire and butcher, or build a faux vintage cooler to put in it..something like this: Would the "Cool" factor be enough to get spousal support? ...I know that mine would love it (as long as one of the kegs held cider :P )

I'm also puzzled...Which part are you connecting to which part? Can you post a picture? My first thought reading this; was that you have an MFL out on your regulator that you want to go to 8mm OD EVABarrier and I'm wondering why you don't just use the duotight/FFL...

Maybe they do have one, but Janet Jackson's lawyers suppressed it?

I don't even think of it as 'dumping', rather; I Harvest the yeast when it looks like I have a good crop and things are mostly settled, usually 3-5 days. :mug:

My own reason for giving up glass carboys was disability... Before I gave them up I did get the orange cap with a racking cane so I could do closed transfers and if I still had my health and reflexes I'd probably still be using them, but the sheer weight of the glass itself, even empty for...

I read this and then had a few beers so I could meet the criteria to respond in this thread.... I've been out of the tech loop for 10 years now because of the brain injury, but here you're touching on a subject that was of utmost importance to me in my old life from which I stll have shelves...

That looks like an ideal way to avoid the annoying cavity inside a kettle you get with TC fittings. Is this a good place to ask your opinion on the "Ideal Kettle"? I'm still trying to decide on a new kettle myself and I'd prefer minimal cavities that the CIP ball might not reach for removing...

Do you weld or have a friend who welds? You could just start from scratch making it to fit your requirements exactly; Make a sheet-metal box, sized to your kegs, make a wooden outer shell and insulate in between, mount the thing on wheels with a pull-up handle and whatever CO2 accomodations...

Just take a reciprocating saw and cut the entire top of the cooler off, including the hinge and seal then build the collar as an extension....paint the wood and use silicone sealant. Just a thought.

Have you considered going with the cheaper Coleman and building a keezer-style collar? How DIY are you feeling? :mug:

I found this one on etsy; :bigmug:

I did a stupid thing early on and I should have known better, (but since the injury I've done a number of such stupid things) I stupidly washed a carboy out with extremely hot water and only after bottling the beer did I notice the layers of fractured but seemingly intact glass that was now the...

UPDATE: I just finished my utility rig EVABarrier upgrade so just for the heck of it I dug up a redundant 8mm OD EVABarrier line, cut it into 4 pieces and stuffed them in a pop-bottle...Fit quite nice and loose: So yeah...do yourself the favor of passing on the Ultraflex for EVABarrier.....you...

It sounds like the kegerators you're looking at are the re-badged @KegLand Series-X...if that's the case; You will not be able to fit the regulators inside..they just don't have the space even if you used strap handled kegs however; Like @Bobby_M said; you can fit 3 EVABarrier lines per...
