Carboy and Keg Washer

Yes... yet another version of a keg and carboy washer...

The first time I heard of a "keg washer" was listening to Dr. Scott describing his brewing gadgets on The Brewing Network's Homebrew Gadget Show (clip is about 105 minutes in) back in December 2005. I also came upon a cool post by Dave @… Continue

One thing to note: Steve Hulse and I brewed the Dusseldorf Alt. Not sure why he's not on the Keystone site. I'm pretty sure I included him as a co-brewer on the entry form. Oh, and Ty Currier works with me. This was his first batch ever! One thing…

Tom Kehoe (Founder, Brewmaster) and Steve Mashington (Operations Manager) of Yards Brewing Company visited the ALEiens at our July 28th, 2009 meeting. They were also kind enough to bring a freshly dry-hopped firkin of their delicious IPA.

Hmm, I brewed 13 batches -- 5 gallons each. So...65 gallons total last year. But 3 down so far in January!

Eeek, I just went through my brew log, and it looks like 23 brews in 2009, 5 gallons at a shot. Didn't seem like that much at the time. Also explains the extra girth I started they year with. Of course, we're not even through Jan yet and I'm starti…

I'm upgrading the entire brewery in the next month or so, and this would be a great addition to it.

Sam Scott replied to Tom Cassidy's discussion 'When to filter?'

Just make sure you don't have a blow-off tube in a gallon of sanitizer. I did that once and the extreme temp difference created a vacuum and sucked all the sanitizer into the carboy. When fermentation subsides, I always replace my blow-off tube with…

At 5:51pm on January 26, 2009, D Walter said…: im glad you enjoyed it like i said before i have had mixed reviews but i like it and im the one who matters:)... as for the yeast im pretty sure it was white labs german ale yeast im not sure of the number... what are you doing in that pic culturing yeast from the bottle??? thats pretty sweet let me know how that works for you...

At 9:45pm on January 4, 2009, D Walter said…: Yeah unfortunately they are all bottle conditioned i dont have the ability to bottle from the keg yet hopefully i will remedy that soon... the feed back so far has been mix i think mostly due to the fact that it is not a popular style with not too many commercial examples if any ... but anyway let me know what you think :) ... also i seen the picture of your brew stand that is awesome!!! and i have a couple questions about it if you dont mind... where did you get the materials ( angle iron, burners, gas lines ect.) and the kegs where did they come from and were they tough to get??? and what do you use for fuel natural gas or propane and if propane what size tank do you use??? i ask only because my brother and i were just talking about trying to built something just like that... Thanks see you soon
