Kegerators We have been asked 'what is a kegerator' and 'can I build one myself'? The answer is yes, you can build one yourself.

In order to reduce this risk, it is important for the wort to spend as little time as possible in this temperature range. Thus, force cooling is usually employed by home brewers so that the yeasts can take effect without the risk of contamination. The hot wort...

Homebrewers understand that if you are going to be "all grain brewing", the whole grains should be broken down into small pieces before they can be soaked in hot water. Traditionally, home brewers have used a rolling pin to break the grains, but this labourious task requires a lot of time and human labour. This is the reason why home brewers now use grain mills.
