Projects
Multi-Purpose Fermentation Chamber
While there are tons of designs for fermentation chambers to be found, this build incorporates smart design, a clean look, and repurposed equipment to create a unique system.
Serving Cask-Conditioned Ale
An easy to follow guide to getting your homebrew served on cask.
Club Kegerator
Arrive to the show in style with this homebrew club kegerator build.
Build a Draft Jockey Box
You have your kegerator set up and running smoothly; your friends love to drop by and drink your homebrew on tap. But now you (and they) want to bring your finely crafted brew out and about to parties, picnics, and other social gatherings. You could build a portable kegerator, but there is a cheaper and simpler alternative that also opens up the possibility of serving multiple kegs on the go: a jockey box.
Nitro Kegerator
With very little time and money (if you are frugal, that is), you can serve up nitro beers at home without having to do any permanent modifications to your kegerator.
Build a Kegerator
In this project, I’ll outline how to build a basic, two-tap kegerator. It’s not a cheap project, but the benefits are tremendous and well worth the money. Before you can get started
Carboy Spray Wand
Probably every homebrewer’s least favorite part of the hobby is the sometimes staggering amount of cleaning that is required to produce a sanitary, contaminant-free batch of beer. And one of the most
Rebuild a Keg
Used Cornelius style kegs are widely available at reasonable prices. A considerable amount of money can be saved if you buy kegs that have not been worked on in any way and
Portable Draft System
Build a single-keg setup in two different sizes to take your finely crafted draft beer on the road.
Counterpressure Bottle Filler
Kegging is convenient. it eliminates the bottling process, and cuts out days of carbonating time. When you bring a keg to a friend’s house, however, you’re bringing a lot of beer. The more beer you bring, the more beer the friends drink. You may never get a full glass for yourself. These are the times that call for bottles.
Build an Electric Heat Stick
Sometimes it helps to get that extra boost to get up to mash temperatures and then to a boil. Build this electric heat stick to give you the on-demand turbo heat you need on your next brew day.
Build a Cooler Mash Tun
The heart and soul of any all-grain homebrewing system is the combination mash/lauter tun. “Mashing” is the hot water steeping process that results in sweet fermentable wort, while “lautering” is the
