    And I assume, he spent three videos doing Woodworking and carpentry work and then the very end of the last video hooking up prefab kegerator components. Was hoping he was actually going to do a better explanation of his plumbing and setup. The bar Tower he built. Could have been bought pre-built made of stainless steel or brass. With insulation already injected into it. Far better than you can do yourself. I hate to say it but this is actually disappointing build unless you have some sort of a hard-on from doing a lot of woodwork for no reason

    Good Lord this guy spent forever making a wooden box to put around a freezer. You should have called this wooden box carpentry video not how to make a kegerator. So far all I've seen him do is drill cut and screw wood together. Nothing to do with the hardest part which is actually making a Kegerator function correctly. And not create a bunch of foam on every pore I have a bet you that this guy is going to buy that pre-made as a kit

    On mine, I find putting a wide water pan on the bottom shelf as a heat shield helps a lot with the hot spots. Makes the heat distribute more evenly, and keeps the air moist, so less spritzing is required throughout the cook.

    To add on this video, there is plastic box right on top of electrical box youtuber took out. Once you pull that out (electrical box), you can access that drain tube, then you have to bend it to that plastic box on top, it has square share but it has big hole to inside, you can pull drain tube out. It is not easy to do both side but you can. Becareful your hand, you might get cut but you can pull that drain tube out through that plastic box. After that just connect extra tube to drain out. I just wanted to add to Jay youtube video. I did not understand how he pull it out. Thank you Jay.

    wouldn't it be easier to just drill a hole under each side of the car? right at the seams where the water is supposed to drip from pillar A into the chassis floor

  • @JayJenkins
    @JayJenkins2 ай бұрын

    I thought about this but the problem would be the water is still draining into a cavity in the vehicle hoping that it drips out. The water is meant to drip out the pinch weld all along the side of the vehicle from front to rear, most of the time people find the issue in the front but if you park your vehicle on a slant leaning back you will most likely develop this issue with clogs in the rear. If you only put drain holes in the front then if your car is consistently parked slanted backwards the water would collect in the back. I imagine you could drill holes all along the panel from front to back and it would work. I'm not 100% sure on this because I didn't test it, but I do know that mine is draining out the bottom of the car now and my floor is dry.

    Great info. I just ordered this smoker and i have a lot of modifications I do plan on doing before I use it one it, like repaint it. I do like your idea about the reflector and the charcoal tray, great ideas. I bought a small smoking unit, no heat, to smoke cheese that I will install. I find that the Dyna-Glo website isn't very good on info, like specs. Do you know the thickness of the walls on the cookbox and the measurements of the smokebox? Some of my ideas was to install a Char-Griller firebox in lou of the firebox that comes with the unit to cook burgers and such and a Cast-Iron Propane Burner Head in the cookbox. Again great show and good info.

    If you are going through the trouble of dry brine and injecting, that is far from a simple cook. A simple brisket smoke is Salt, pepper and straight on the smoker. I almost lost my mind when you said cook till 250, but then you pulled it at 205 so I assume that was just a misspeak. That stated, you are trimming off way too much fat cap. You want an even layer over the entire flat. This wasn't bad and I absolutely commend you for putting this out for us to watch, but I really recommend you spend a little time watching Mad Scientist BBQ. I spent years cooking very similar to how you do and I discovered him years ago and learned some better methods and the why of certain techniques. The why being the important part as he goes into great detail on why certain things affect or do not affect your final outcome. Good luck and keep smoking my man.

  • @JayJenkins

    No, the door frame backs up against the Jack stud so the hinge screws should be long enough to hit the Jack stud and if you use longer screws the king stud also which is a full length stud.

    I’m new to home brewing and looking to setup a fermentation chamber like this and you just answered a question that’s been burning in my mind: won’t the Inkbird constantly be turning on and off the fridge and heating element. I guess it’s gonna take a little experimenting. I’m curious if I even need this except for doing a lager. My room temperature (downstairs where I keep my fermenter) fluctuates between 66-68F. And my fermenter fluctuates between 67-69F. The only time the fermenter temp rises above 69 is like the first day I add my yeast and it goes up to like 78-79F for about 15 hours but then smooths out. Would a fermentation chamber really benefit me that much?

  • @JayJenkins
    @JayJenkins4 ай бұрын

    If your temps are that stable and you always ferment at that temp then the juice might not be worth the squeeze. But.... As you saw it's fairly cheap and easy to make, and it will give you not only the ability to know your temp is stable, but to ferment at slightly different temps for different yeast and flavor. Even with ales, fermenting at the lower range will yield a different flavor then at the higher end. It also allows you to easily do a diacetyl rest. Also, as you said it will allow you to make lagers.

    The big dog was the controller. I got that from ebrewsupply.com. I believe it was around $1500 at the time. I got it fully built and wired. With that, the 2 heating elements, weldless fittings, triclamps, the power cables, and other stuff, (I had to add a 240 circuit and a breaker myself) maybe $300 in additional parts, so $1800 ish total to convert my system to electric.

All your sugars are converted in the first 30 0:10 minutes and then I clarify the wort for the last 30 minutes. Works very well for me. Enjoyed the video sir.
