hey, i see we're supposed to buy tickets, but the page isn't working (at work, with firefox) any suggestions?
yeah, the tix are $15 I guess. No idea, I just tried it on Firefox and it brought me to the paypal page...
Patrick! Sweet keg setup! That's the #1 best brewery addition in my experience!!! Just last night, I picked up a bunch of kegs cheap (the deal was too good to pass up) and in this group, there are three pin-lock kegs in good condition. Would you be interested before I put them on Craigslist? hit me up, yo! $30 bucks / keg.
yes, yes i would be the shorter kegs fit much better in my fridge in the basement (between the shelves, but can't have the disconnects attached _
I get mine filled at Minneapolis Oxygen. Dowling exit off 94 on Washington Ave. about $11 to fill a standard 5lb tank. They have punch cards too. 6th fill or something is free. http://www.mplso2.com/
Let's hook up and get these things to you. I drained the juice out of them last night and let them soak in hot PBW for about 20 minutes each so they're clean. I would absolutely recommend getting new o-rings and seals and crap for them just so you start fresh and new. Also, when I popped the bleeder, they all had pressure so I assume they hold, but because I can't get CO2 into them, I can't be certain of it. If they don't let me know and we'll work it out. I usually swap my tanks out at the Waconia Farm Supply. It's a bit more expensive than Midwest but I can get there in 8 minutes from mah house.
brewed my first partial mash - a copper ale cambro worked well since i didn't need a ton of space and the grain bag worked amazing well in lieu of a false bottom
Well done! Can't wait to hear how it turns out! Next up try a full mash! Ala brew in a bag or put a cooler mash tun together, always makes for a fun project.

dust buster charger and irrigation timer don't pull much juice. And it's the closest GFI in the garage.
Went to northern brewer on black friday for their sale - that's about the only thing that could drag me out of the house on that day, picked up 12 pounds of marris otter and some fuggle for a SMaSH. This will be my first smash and my first brew in probably a year
Joined the cool club of Home Brewing. Got this from my GF for Christmas.Going to start out with a Java Stout.
Not sure if we have discussed this yet, but I found this pretty cool: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/09/01/ale-chief-white-house-beer-recipe No political discussions please, beer transcends all that crap
Well believe it or not, the keg of copper ale is tapped out. That actually means it was the first of my batches so far to tap out! I've got at least a little of everything else I've made so far hanging around. So it's a sad day: fermenters - empty, secondaries - empty, kegs - empty At least I still have a small mountain of bottled beer
Sad day coming here too. One half keg of Barley Stout left otherwise all fermenters are empty and far too cold out to wanna brew in my garage.
I have a non-air-tight-bucket-fermenter that I need to get kegged SOON. Both of my browns are just about empty - I got sediment in a pint last night - I'll probably dump the dregs tonight and wrack-off the dice hopped IPA that won that qualifier. 2 kegs Final Round batch #1 2 kegs Final Round batch #2 2 kegs Brown Ale 1 Keg Turkey-day blonde (6.5%boom!) 1 Keg Bill and Ted's ale adventure
Now that's cooking with beer! http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/02/0...-beer-as-source-green-energy/?test=latestnews Beer Powered Beer!
Wait there is a home brewers thread on MNSubaru? of course there is! Just brewed my second batch on Sunday night. Dead Ringer IPA extract kit from NB. Yes I'm a complete newb. Made a 1300ml starter a day prior and it's going nuts.
Hell yeah! That is one happy looking fermenter! Keep that pipeline filled. I'm hoping to get a couple fermenters filled with a Simcoe Two Hearted clone by this weekend.
Right now I've got a Summit Avenue kit in it's second week of secondary, and the next will be the 9 month fermentation Strong Ale
yep, that's the picture above - I built that one. What questions do you have? Here's the thread that I went by: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-stirplate-cheap-easy-build-86252/
126 pages, I should find some ideas there. Your's looked too pro, so I guessed it wasn't homemade. It certainly looks like I better have a cool box to build it into. What kind of magnets did you use?
Thanks man! It doesn't look quite as pro in person. I didnt take my time with any of the cuts or anything, I pretty much threw it together. And it very well might fall apart in a week. HA! I had my in-house nerd at my office grab me a fried hard drive from an old computer and took it apart to nab the batteries.
