I am a long time homebrewer and have always strived to produce the very best product that I can, given the variables inherent in any hobby that involves nature and science.

One of the most difficult to control and most important to the finished product is temperature. Keeping close control of the fermentation process yields big rewards in consistency, clarity, finish and flavor profile.more »

Here is a project that was inspired by Doc at The Brewing Network. It was discussed in one of their first episodes when Justin mentioned how Doc had a great system to clean his kegs and carboys. Doc gave a brief explanation about how he used a submersible pump to recirculate cleaning solution through all the keg's orifices.

There is a main spray head that cleans the keg or carboy, and there are also lines that feed cleaning solution through the gas in and beverage out dip tubes. Once I heard about this it went to the top of my priority list.

Bottling beer is a pain in the (enter choice word here). I brewed 3 batches over 2 years before I bit the bullet and put together a kegging system.more »

I have a passion, a "sickness", my wife calls it. I love beer - and I love to make it. I have been homebrewing beer for about 11 years - ever since my friend, Ross, showed me how to do it on his stove back in South Carolina. It is the perfect hobby.more »

I wanted to convert my brewery to electric for a couple reasons, cost to operate, precise temp control, and the cool factor.

I decided starting with the HLT would be the most challenging part but the most critical to the process.

What sizes of keg is draft beer available in?
