Yes Please

Code please, I need a couple 2.5s

Count me in

This sat in secondary for a couple months now tasted good before the extra lactose and vanilla,then I kegged it and effectively made 5 gallons of cough syrup!!! I sure hope the vanilla calms down, I should have gone with my gut and used beans instead of pure extract I must say if the...

your right, it seems to be much heavier that the food grade stuff I was using before, I also noticed that all of my o-rings seemed to have flat spots on them, I replaced them all and hopefully that will take care of it Thanks again for all the advise!!!

Used mine for the first time last night, this thing is Awsome it cut every bit of a hour off of my brewing

I have been using a food grade grease, should I change to a keg lube? I just bought new seals and all new disconnects as I feel that may be part of the problem

So I have one of my Ball Lock CO2 couplers that seems to leak if it isn't positioned right, I have new Orings on all my kegs and I can make it leak with each of them. so I replaced the coupler and am still having the same problem, am I missing something I don't seam to have any trouble with the...

It's a fairly thick slury, and not enough to get a good prime back on the pump, I'm going to do a couple more using bags or a hop spider and see if it helps, if not I'll just increase the boil amount to account for the loss

I have came to the conclusion that the issue is two things I need to move the dip tube to the edge as well as stop using the false bottom and use a hop spider so that I can pull the hops up and drain them, I believe most of that gallon is dripping out of the hops once they are above the water level

I have all Cam-lock Fittings and am using a 809HS pump, I have no issue with the pump once it is done pumping I just disconnect it from the kettle and lift it above my fermentor and any wort left in it drains right into the fermentor, however I still cant get that last gallon I may get rid of my...
