Bought a few years ago and never got around to making the setup. I've got the PID, its in my current brew box,I'm going through my stuff and thought about setting this up to run my fridge. i just updated the firmware. I tried to setup and i'm apparently not smart enough to make it work with...

How much are you asking for the 6x 1/2" hose barb to 1.5" Triclamp? I'm interested in at least 4. probably all of them. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm also guessing that with my smaller volume batches that I should probably go with a 1.5 inch rims tube?

Most of you guys are going to ask why I just dont go with a larger mash tun. I've got a square stainless insulated ice chest for free. It will hold 4.5 gal volumetrically. From what I can figure this should work out about right for most of my beers and desired batch size. My thought is to...

Where did you buy your valves from ? I'm trying to find a place with stainless that doesnt cost an arm and a leg. Automation would be great, just dont want to spend so much on a system. Thanks!

So I got started making a few wine kits and was waiting on some kegs and I spaced off this cream ale. Its been in secondary probably 4 months. Should I pitch some new yeast in it to bottle (still dont have all my parts for kegging)? There is a small yeast cake at the bottom, I did transfer...

Not sure if I should put this in this area of the forum or not. I've started making more fruit beers and meads. I have just been hand squishing the fruit, but I'd like to come up with a better way. especially with the beer, I am not as worried about the fruit contaminating the Meads. I...

Thanks!

Cool. Thanks for the info Guys!

Sorry, I typed in ice wine instead of ice cider there. Good to know on the yeast. I'm going to have to read up more on the fusel alcohols. I was just worried that the yeast would mutate as well as producing undesired things. I may have to toss out my ciders that fermented up there in the...

Do you have a parts list? This is just about what I'm looking for. I've also got a few questions: 1. What size of CPVC is on the bottom? 2. How did you glue the risers to the feed pipes? 3. Is the 1/4 inch riser pipe in the drip irrigation isle? I can only seem to find 1/2 at the...

Thanks for the info. I was just thinking about using it because it was in there, and because from what I was thinking Nottingham was used alot for cider, and from what I understand Ice wine is a sweeter, "thicker" tasting cider. Correct me if I'm wrong. But I dont want to waste 3 gal of...

On the correct yeast, I'm not sure. I'm hoping to get a 9 to 12% ABv, and from what I've read thats what nottingham tops out at. I added nutrient and entergizer to the yeast while it was on the cider already. I'll plan on adding it if i put the ice cider must on it. A few other questions...

I just made up a batch of hard cider, 3 gal worth with a packet of nottingham yeast. I went away for the weekend and it spent 3 days at a temp of about 75 to 78 degrees fermenting. I'm hoping it isnt going to be ruined, next time i'll make sure to check my air is on. One think I've been...

Just wondering if you ever finished this up? I just picked up a sink from a place that went out of business, and I've soured it down, but now I'm curious to know if it would be worth my time to buff it up? Any problems with it staying clean being that shiny? Thanks@
