Does. Not . Compute. As for your lines, let a strong PBW solution sit in it for 24 hours. Flush with hot water, followed by StarSan. You should be good to go. However, if the lines were sealed the whole time with beer/foam/CO2 in them, then I'd worry even less.

Hey everybody, So I kegged my EIPA last night, very hoppy and young/green tasting, which is ok, all that will (should) mellow out with a bit of time. It was VERY cloudy, however, which I am thinking is largely due to the dry hops (1.5 oz EKG in each carboy) because I took a gravity reading...

Thanks guys! So you think leave it one the yeast for a bit longer to help clean it up? It's fairly well hopped. 2.5 oz of 8.7% Target @ 60 and 1.5 oz of 6.7% Challenger @ 15 and 5 each. Estimated IBU's is mid 40's. I'm hoping that, plus the 1 oz (maybe 1.5 oz) of EKG each carboy will get might...

Hey guys, A batch of EIPA I brewed this past Sunday was furiously fermenting away last night and, pressing the palm of my hand against each carboy, I noticed a discernible difference in temperature between that and the carboys of Scottish ale that are sitting quiet and happy after 2 weeks...

Hey guys, Below is a link to a pic of my SS braid system in my MT and I've been thinking lately that a similar set up in my kettle might help to filter hops, freeing me from having to use a mesh bag. Thoughts or opinions? http://imageshack.us/a/img21/5140/bmg8.jpg Cheers!

Hey guys, I used a SS scrub pad as a hop filter wedged under my dip tube and I noticed that a ~1" wide grey film had formed a ring around the hop bag for my hop spider and around the inside of the kettle, both at the level where the boil roughly started. Never saw this before and I can...

Yeah, my plan was to have the ball valve on the "out" side slightly open until I see that the water/wort has gone into the pump, then close it, turn the pump on and then open the ball valve slowly until I have the flow rate I want.

Yeah, probably, but not by much.

Bump. Anyone?

Hey guys, Finalizing my set up before next weekend's first brew on it, and I'm wondering about the height difference required to prime a Chugger Pump efficiently. I currently have the outlet from my BK and HLT at 4" above the top of the pump head and about 7" above the bottom. The inlet...

Most of the htreads I look at seem to have that problem. I'd say at least half have had photos stripped....

Same here.

Any ideas why I can't see photos anymore? Almost all of the recent posts that, judging by the responses, seem to have photos/pics, I can't see them!

That is awesome Makes me glad I bought a Chugger! (with all due respect to March pumps)

I had the same problem with mine. I just used a few washers that had a smaller OD so they would fit in the indentation.
