Beer Brewing, Wine Making, And Spir
This group is for those nudists who like to make their own. If that is you then this group is for you!
What is everyone doing with brewing lately?
Return to DiscussionsI'm building a jockey box beer dispenser. I am not sure if there's a better name for it, but it is just a small cooler with a large stainless steel coil and a tap. I can fill it with ice and have cold beer. Should make for a nice evening on the lake in a secluded cove.

Verry cool! And yes, that's what its called. So what type of beer do you brew?

What is the advantage of the jockey box over taking a small keg in a cooler? I have a single tap kegerator for corny kegs and use picnic taps and charge them with CO2 as needed. We have a gathering coming up in October and I was thinking I might have some Octoberfest Marzen ready to share.
Just kegged a Summer Ale, Gaarden Hoe, last night. It was my first pressure fermentation. I let it reach two points below final gravity, then sealed the fermenter. Two weeks total and it's carbonated and just about ready to drink.
It's been a fresher version of Sam Adams Summer Ale. I was concerned about too much coriander at 1 ounce, but it was just about right. We're pleased with the result. We still haven't had time to brew our Oktoberfest marzen, next week I hope. Jim
