[MrMarbleHead]

Starting to compile a list of all the how to's and DIY's in this forum, and make it a sticky. If i miss any, mods feel free to edit as necessary. I know that there are some in the "Brewing Techniques and Practices" forum so look there too for any I may have missed.

Here is a list of the How To's and DIY's that have been posted up, if you see any that aren't listed here please let a mod know and they can list it here.

[sanders5x]

That is nice! We needed something like that.

[Redweasel]

Hop Stopper should be here.

[MrMarbleHead]

still working on it, i got distracted earlier, i was working backward through the forum from oldest to new. so I still have a lot of work to do.

[Ó Flannagáin]

Way to take the reigns on this one, WOP. Thanks!

[MrMarbleHead]

Did some updates to the list today, let me know if i missed anything guys.

[Jester369]

Opinions from folks that frequent (or used to frequent) the other place:

Should I post up pics of the Keezer?

[Barley-Davidson]

Yeah, man. That keezer is sweet.

[MrMarbleHead]

Hell yeah Jester, why wouldn't you post up pictures of your kegerator? Do you have a "How to" writen up?

[Jester369]

Yeah, I did a whole thread on the project as I was building it. I'll condense it down to just my posts and put it up in the next few days :D

[Ó Flannagáin]

You rock, Jester. Thanks for contributing to the growth of this place!

[MrMarbleHead]

Awesome man, we needed a good Chest Freezer How to on here!

[ben the brewman]

i just added the style guide lines update for promash on the download section.

[Redweasel]

Isn't there a diy randall post? I can't seem to find it.

[MrMarbleHead]

I don't think that we have a Randal Post on here yet Red, but if you build one you should put up a DIY for sure.

[Redweasel]

I was thinking of the Hopback from Mr X. Should add it also. I bet you could use the same concept for a randal.

[Ó Cairealláin]

Dunno if you'd want to add my mini-keg tap (http://www.homebrewchatter.com/board/f59/mini-keg-tap-build-log-t6240/) to the list. I could try to write up a more concise how to, but I like how this shows the thought process of what went in to making my decisions.

[MrMarbleHead]

I added it OC, if you do rewrite it, remind me to update the list.

[sanders5x]

could someone add my boil kettle?

[Barley-Davidson]

could someone add my boil kettle?

Added

[zoebisch01]

Dang, do we have a DIY for a hopback that works?

[MrMarbleHead]

Dang, do we have a DIY for a hopback that works?

This one doesn't work? (http://www.homebrewchatter.com/board/f18/first-run-with-the-new-hopback-t2012/)

[zoebisch01]

Man the video for the mash tun and the hopback are on broken links.

[garrad21]

This one doesn't work? (http://www.homebrewchatter.com/board/f18/first-run-with-the-new-hopback-t2012/)

Nope. Neither does the Keezer link.

Great idea though Wop.

[Copper_Stein]

Nope. Neither does the Keezer link.

Great idea though Wop.

The Hopback should link back to here (http://www.homebrewchatter.com/board/showthread.php?2012-First-run-with-the-new-Hopback)

And the Jester's keezer thread should link to here (http://www.homebrewchatter.com/board/showthread.php?3694-The-Keezer-Project)

Could a mod take care of this? Thanks

[Copper_Stein]

Nice to see the OP got a facelift. Now just need to add any new builds that aren't on the list.

[ohiobrewtus]

Ya, well the OP is a lazy bastard. It's about time he did something around here.

OP = Original Post.

But I see what you did there.
