I P A Ultimate Hop Head Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 02/25/08 Posts: 1798 Loc: Miami, FL	Originally Posted By: D Thought that might be the case. Drilling holes on a rounded surface can be a pain. Saw cuts across the tubing with a hack saw would work too and may be easier to accomplish. Just a thought $\:\)$ I think I saw both in a recent pic posted by Andy. _________________________ Keg #1: Pilothouse Pilsner Keg #2: Sticky Wicket Oatmeal Stout ______________________ Carb'n: Cascadia Pale Ale Carb'n: Show Me The Honey Raspberry Lager ______________________ Cond'n: Cond'n: Toutle River Tart Cherry Cider ______________________ Drink'n: Mad Dog IPA Drink'n: Bombay Bliss IPA ______________________ On Deck: Witty Monk Witbier On Deck: Junk Yard Dog IPA Website: http://ipa.mrbeerfans.googlepages.com/

D Brewaholic/Postaholic Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 01/13/08 Posts: 1539 Loc: St. Marys, OH	Can't take credit. Saw this version on another site and knew from experience working with PVC it is easier th saw cut than drill. Hope it works out for you. _________________________ Hi, my name is D and I am a brewaholic/postaholic Fermenting 1: Fermenting 2: High Country Canadian Draft w/booster and about 1.25 lbs of DME using lager yeast.

IPA The one I was describing is very close to the picture on the left, but instead of cuts it has holes drilled in it. _________________________ SSSST.....Hier Rijpt de Beagle "ich braute dieses Bier mit meinem Hund" Life is indeed short: Get a Beagle and a Beer Owner and Proprietor of Howling Beagle Farmhouse Brewery and Winery.

OCD Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 03/25/08 Posts: 754	Originally Posted By: poodietae I had a batch of Wit blow off ...I still have to clean the ceiling. I'm both impressed and shocked. How does that happen, I thought the vented cap would have helped avoid geyser activity? Would putting a gasket under the lid, and then drilling a hole for an airlock have changed anything? Or are your brews just too BIG for Mr.Beer? Edited by OCD (04/14/08 06:42 PM) Edit Reason: grammar

D Brewaholic/Postaholic Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 01/13/08 Posts: 1539 Loc: St. Marys, OH	So far I have managed to avoid the doghouse with brewing mishaps (now I have probably cursed myself ). Good luck on the cleanup! _________________________ Hi, my name is D and I am a brewaholic/postaholic Fermenting 1: Fermenting 2: High Country Canadian Draft w/booster and about 1.25 lbs of DME using lager yeast.

Or are your brews just too BIG for Mr.Beer? Don't be impressed ... I'm scrubbing the floor $\:\)$ It was a 5 gallon batch so I was not using a MB fermenter. I though I had plenty of room. It looks like it will hold 7-8 gallons(I'll be measuring that). First time using White Labs yeast, that stuff REALLY gets going! Temp is 70F-72F. I just hope it's not ruined..
