Hi @Hoppyland You only need an 80 parts per million solution to sanitise equipment, so using neat bleach is a bit of an overkill. I use a solution of bleach and vinegar as a no-rinse sanitiser.

Hi! Me: tablet, THBF Master of the Blue Horizons: tablet, Candy Crush, Crossy Road, Jewel Slide etc etc. Tranquility reigns in our house.

As if we would do anything so deliciously low! Now, where's my phone!

Hi @Mavroz My rule of thumb is to condition at fermentation temperature.

You would need to open the full lid only rarely. You can get "castors" for heavy white goods to sit on to make it easy to move them, but that's more expense. Two steps forward, one step back!

Hi @Ghillie Here's another idea. Post No. 10 here looks interesting, and post No. 26 on this page is quite innovative.

Hi! I was concerned about a good seal and firm adhesion. I would also worry about fixing the hinge to the freezer body, but hey! I'm a worrier! I thought that perhaps a couple of fastenings could be fixed on the inside of the collar to hold the folding section tight when not folded.

Hi @Ghillie Five kegs will be a tight fit, but they will fit! Any problems removing the front kegs could be resolved by removing one of the rear kegs, "shuffling" the others around so that the front kegs move to the rear. A faff, I know, but do-able. A less pallatable solution would be to space...

You are a prisoner of the Dark Side - the nightmare never ends :D

Hi @Banbeer It looks very much like a hand-in-pocket job, as @Dutto wrote.

. . . spots you wouldn't go within a mile of, normally :D

Hi @Springwell19 I assume you de-pressurised the keg to add the finings? You will have lost a lot of the hop aroma by doing this.

Power shower :D

Hi @SteveElder Saw this on another thread - https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/ghillies-keezer-build-thread.80693/page-2#post-803861 The taps seem to be screwed onto the keezer collar.

Hi @SteveElder Your plan depends on several variables. Is your wall single or double skin? You may be looking at quite a long shank, and this will push the cost up. The shank diameter means that you will be drilling quite a large diameter hole. Do you have a large enough bit, or are you going to...

Hi! If you can make a 2 litre starter, you might consider pitching 1.5 litres and storing 500ml in the fridge, which you can use to build your next starter.

Hi @Ghillie My own choice would be to carbonate before storage - you have a closed system like a bottled beer. The carbonated beer will continue to mature in the keg. However, I doubt whether a keg of flat beer that has been purged of O2 and put under a bit of pressure will leak. My own...

Hi! I would build a starter from what you've got there.

Not so much The Gold Rush, more The Old Mush :D

Hi! I thought that this forum did not allow offensive posts. :D
