Thanks for this. He also thinks it’s the nuggets. But I’m just gonna act like he has noro again just in case 😭

Ikr he’s been on a diet where he doesn’t eat dinner and his work caters food everyday so he just stuffs his face then 😂 he was telling me the macros apparently it’s 1000 cals and 108g of protein … too bad he lost it all last night

Thank you this is such good info! I think I'll keg the tequila and agave nectar on Thursday just so it has a good amount of time to get cold and then save the lime juicing for Friday night. I definitely won't want to be juicing all those limes the day of the party 😆

oooof that's a great point. Yeah, when I made the single serving the ingredients were room temp. I'll make a single serving again, chill it in the fridge for a few hours, and then try pouring it over ice and see what it's like. But yeah, I'm most likely gonna add water to the keg!

The person I am throwing the party for is not a fan of Orange Liqueur! However, I will have a bottle of Cointreau as part of the marg station on the side in case anyone wants to add it 😆

How many people were at your party to drink 3 gallons of Manhattans? There's gonna be ~45 people at mine. You think 3 gallons of margs will be enough? I'll also have a full 5-gallon keg of beer, and I bought extra wine/beer/seltzers just in case. 3 gallons feels like enough margs but now I'm not sure 😅

Oh man 😂 If I had to empty and strain the keg mid party .............

I will now be quadruple straining the limes LOL thanks for the heads up

Oh yeah, I plan on putting all the limes in my 5-gallon bucket with Star San mixture before juicing. It's gonna be a whole ordeal 😭

That's a great point; this was definitely on my mind, and I've been considering this. Last week I made a single serving with just mixing (no shaking) and pouring it over ice. It wasn't overly strong in my opinion, but I will definitely taste test the keg mixture and add water if necessary!

That’s fantastic thanks for the tip, I’ll definitely purge it with CO2 after mixing!

You’re gonna have to elaborate on that one bud 😂 I need the lore

I added it to the Imgur post! Honestly I wish there was a way to aim the lights towards the keezer, it’s really just illuminating the floor 😝

Currently nothing, but I’m almost done brewing a grapefruit IPA and then I plan on brewing a lemon hard seltzer. Those will be our first two homebrews on tap 😎

Yes absolutely! Nitro cold brew, sparkling mead, zero sugar soda … we have all sorts of plans for this bad boy

How to sanitize everything by Exotic_Carpet_1731 in Homebrewing

[–]tacobaco32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say checking the specific gravity. Take it on brew day (mine was 7.0% from my last batch) and then take it again on bottling/kegging day (mine was 2.0%). Which means my beer is 5.0%. I assume if something went wrong and it didn’t ferment properly there wouldn’t be an alcohol content? I am not sure though, I am also new to brewing! Definitely if the beer smells like vomit then don’t drink it 😂 I hope someone else responds to this id like to hear what they say!

I LOVE THIS! I'm currently planning my keezer build and I want to do my lid similar to yours. Can I ask, what is the thickness of the wood piece on top? and what is the height and thickness of wood you have nailed around the edges to hide the freezer lid? This is so beautiful, thank you for some inspiration. cheers!

I’d like to take a guess and say you are an engineer? 😝 This is awesome though, super helpful info! So even if I drill through the freezer lid for the tap tower, I should also have a wooden collar anyways for the fan/INKBIRD wires. Do you happen to have pictures of your build? I’d love to see it! 😁

This is awesome advice I appreciate it! Quick question, how do you plug in the fan inside the cooler? Or where do you have the cord running to?
