What do you guys think of this conversion kit for an upright fridge?
This kit will get you where you want to go, but I would probably piece it together myself.
The shanks and faucets in that kit are chrome plated as opposed to stainless steel, the regulator has sketchy reviews on Amazon (Single outlet, but same body), and I would probably never use a line cleaner. It's much easier to replace the 6 feet of line if it gets funky.
Putting the kit together on your own may be slightly more expensive, but at least you get what you want.

Finally kegging my Porter tonight. Hopefully this one turns out as good as the last one.

Either what LSUgrad said or check Kegconnection or Morebeer for one of those kits. See if you can spec Perlick faucets and skip on the line cleaner system. I just run pbw through lines and all through when cleaning kegs.

Fwiw I got a 2-tap system through keg connection. Couldn't have been simpler to install in the fridge. Toughest part was finding a cheap garage fridge

Stay away from chrome unless you feel like replacing your faucets and shanks several years down the road. Invest in stainless perlicks.

An interesting look at which yeast and bacteria are fermenting Cantillon lambic at different points of time.

Skimmed through, but look forward to reading inddepth later. Right off the bat, the amount of enterobacteria is a surprising to me, as well as the lack of lactobacillus in the cooling phase. I'm pretty sure it's enterobacteria that caused my no-boil to turn into garbage water.

Has anyone tried their hand at brewing Kombucha? I am interested in giving it a shot but have done little to no research on it. Figured I would come here first.

never tried it, but it certainly sounds interesting.
I know there is some guy on craigslist who is always selling Kombucha starters/cultures.
damn, those bacteria cultures can look pretty nasty...

Apparently we search for the same things.
That shite does look gnarly though.

The little guy was so anxious to hop in the truck and go for a ride. Little did he know he would be handed over to stranger in a parking lot, taken to that strangers house and forced to live in the garage with his top ripped off. It's for your own good Dusty. Rds will take good care of you and you'll come back stronger than ever. I know you'll be sour about this but I had no choice.

Dusty survived his trip to the far north country and is now resting peacefully in the garage next to another bucket with an old yeast cake in it. I pulled some wort out to build a starter from some Crooked Stave dregs. The rest of the wort was left open in the garage for some good old fashion spontaneous fermentation. So this will be a mixed fermentation wild ale when it is all said and done. I also tossed in about an ounce of aged hops b/c I couldn't remember what Zap said about hops for Dusty.

I need some crooked stave sitting around to ferment with

Your box has a bottle in it, I just need to get it mailed!

Just finished the boil on my beer kettle soured with Omega Labs lactobacillus blend. In addition to Lacto D and Lacto B, this blend contains lactobacillus plantarium that was cultured off of malt. One of the benefits of lacto P is that its extremely aggressive at low temperatures.
After talking to the owner he assured me their blend worked best between 75F-95F. Typically when kettle souring with grains this invited all sorts of nasty critters.
Anyway on Wednesday I pitched a 2L starter into 8.5 gallons of 1.040 wort at 85F. I held it there for 48 hours and the pH dropped to 3.4. I would have liked that pH to drop a few more points (3.2ish), but these results essentially replicate what Omega Labs found in their testing at this gravity.
All in all it's a nice blend that I would use again if it's ever available locally, but there are too many other choices I can pick up at LAHomebrew and not have to pay shipping on.
The plan for this batch is to pitch a big starter of 'Brett Trois' in the morning, once fermentation has settled down to rack it onto 6lbs of blackberries, and eventually serve it at Zapps.

I tried to build up some CMY brett off the dregs of WWB batch 100. Ended up with a nice big starter of brett and pediococcus. It was like a huge sour malt colored booger.

Jeeze christ. You got lice in your ears son? probably 60 ibu....but no gypsum.....dont think lacto knows no difference in water chemistry.....more hops is good though.
