I have this keg just sitting here. the top is cut out and it has fittings welded in it. Im in cypress if anybody wants it i could use a couple bucks.

welcome. Trust me the hydrometer directly in the beer is just one of the many mishaps you will have. at least that one isn't messy. I usually make a huge mess or something rediculous like that. Good luck and welcome.

I was making a starter for the batch I am going to brew on friday. The starter is bubbling good but thr beer still has no action. Hopefully it was just a slow vial of white labs.

So i was brewing and making a starter at the same time the beer I was brewing was in the sink cooling and icracked the yeast for the starter. It poped and flung some yeast into the wort. The yeast that I pitch should dominate it as long as here is more cells right?

Welcome.

No it was good. I was just kidding. Good beer good people. I'll go next week again.

I am down. How do I set this up? I am ready whenever.

how much was that? what area are you in?

IT WAS GOOD. $5 SEEMED A LITTLE STEEP FOR THE 5 SIPS YOU GOT BUT ALL IN ALL IT WAS OK. i THINK THE LADY WAS KIND OF A BITCH TOO.

any suggestions on a pump? cost vs quality? would it be easier/cheaper to just buy a keg, modify it, and buy another burner ?

does anybody know where I can get an empty keg or does anyone have one for sale?

I guess I could fill the HLT then put the lid on and lift it then. Is there an easier way that more inexpensive than a pump such as an electric heater?

I just bought it today. I got the one without the fittings then will just weld them at my shop. It is way cheaper for me. thanks for the help

So now that I am soooo close to having all my equipment to do my first AG brew I was wondering what everyone does to get the liquid hot in the HLT? I will be using a cooler cubefor a HLT

I only worry about doing this on lighter colored beers. On the beers that are like porter, stout, dunkelwiezen, brown's, etc. I wouldnt worry about it so much.
