Homebrew Kegerator How to build a kegerator kit or homebrew kegerator with a Sanyo SR-49XX or Sanyo SR-40XX refrigerator 6/2013 Update 2: I found another DANBY, Model DAR125SDD that should make a good conversion - the dimensions are right and it does not have an internal freezer. This model is available from BestBuy, Wal-Mart or The Home Depot. 6/2013 Update: As far as we know the only reasonably priced candidate for this conversion is the DANBY Model DAR440W. This is the white version of the DANBY Model DAR44BL that Wal-Mart is currently out of on-line. But they also have the Midea 4.9 cu ft beer keg refrigerator for $399.00, not a bad price for a ready to use kegerator. 8/15/11 Update: Sanyo mini-fridges have become almost impossible to find but not all is lost.
The Mad Fermentationist - Homebrewing Blog After almost three years of blogging about sour beer (among other things fermentational) I think most of what I have learned about brewing them at home is buried somewhere in the roughly 250 posts on this site. That said there isn't anywhere on the blog where the bulk of my opinions and experiences have been coalesced for easy reference. I did put up a lengthy post about Brettanomyces a year or so ago, but that covered just one aspect of sour beer production. What follows is essentially based solely on my experiences, so I won’t talk too much about things I do not have first hand experience with (like biology, pH levels, traditional practices etc…). Enjoy the data dump and please let me know if I failed to cover any topics that you think should be covered here.

How to Make Kimchi: A Step-by-Step Guide I attended a most fabulous kimchi pickling workshop earlier this week hosted by Cham Korean Bistro, my favorite restaurant in Pasadena. The event was held at the restaurant’s R&D kitchen in the little-visited city of Vernon and was attended by all sorts of food-adoring media types including my pals B-Side, H.C., Javier, Valentina, Esther, and Eddie. We were all eager to learn the ins and outs of fermentation and to expand our knowledge of Korea’s beloved dish.
Ted's Homebrew Journal: Brewing One Gallon Batches I've brewed a good number of one gallon batches (view the list...here) in my day, and I'd like to share some things to consider while trying it for yourself. Overall, its a great way to experiment, to get in a small batch of something simple, to brew a batch as a yeast starter, or to use the vessels for tertiary aging with added flavors. Both my Mother and Grandma drink cheap bulk Carlo Rossi wines by the 3 & 4 liter jug.

Many years ago when I started home brewing, the quality of dry yeast included with many prepackaged kits was poor. However much has changed, and now home brewers have dry yeasts available to them that are just as good as liquid yeast.
Home Brewing Beer Blog by BeerSmith Over the years, I’ve come to realize that the basic principles of beer recipes design are often misunderstood and rarely well articulated. This week we’re going to look at how you can design a great beer recipes at home using a tried and true process. What follows is an what I consider an overview of the essence of beer recipe design.

This is not to say that the style defines the whole beer as there is plenty of room for interpretation and creativity, but by starting with a beer style, you establish the baseline for the beer you are going to brew.
