Thanks for the info. Is the silicone gasket ok to put on the inside as well as the outside? I've been looking at some YouTube videos also on manifolds. I think I'm going to price copper tubing tomorrow. I'll let you know what I come up with. Big thanks again!! 🍺

Another question...what is the best material to make a manifold out of? PVC, copper, plastic tubing, something else I'm not listing,

It was leaking a little bit. I got it sealed for my last batch. Pardon my ignorance, but what is a silicone washer? I have a few rubber gaskets on there now. I was actually looking to permanently seal in the 2 1/2 inch nipple to the mash tun and set up a manifold.

I have Coleman converted mash tun. I am looking to get a better design and looking to see if anyone can refer me to a food grade sealant that can go on the inside of the mash tun. Please send pictures of your mash tun or any design specs that you would like to share.

I'm doing a Strawberry blonde ale and had in primary @ 72* (hallway of my house) for about 12 days. I got a refrigerator that I'm using for a fermentation chamber, but the highest I can get it to is about 53*. I just racked into secondary with the strawberries and put it in the fermenter. How...

Got this today, free from work. Probably going to use it for fermenting.

Here's the kegerator and the beer fridge, they are side by side.

What did you use to make the labels? Software? Program?

Hey all, first new thread here. I hope it's in the right place. I just finished kegging a maple wheat and I know it's probably not finished carbonating yet but I tried it yesterday and it has an off taste in the middle. First taste is kinda sweet, finish is smooth. Could it be the maple...

I'm going to be bottling this in a couple days, what would be better for priming...corn sugar or DME? I have both so neither is a bother. Just curious.

This is what I'm soaking my vanilla beans in with some vodka. How long do you all soak the beans? I did this yesterday and it is getting pretty dark already.

Just brewed this tonight. Bumped up the 2-row to 9 lbs. but other than that used pretty much the same recipe. I got about 5.5 gal in the primary and going to start soaking the vanilla beans after about a week. OG came out to 1.053.

Hey all! I'm in Hurst (near ft worth) and have been looking to see if any new brewers are out there near me to share ideas and recipes. I actually just posted a new thread a bit ago. Let me know if you're interested.
