    Banjo burner delivered today - no threading for the jet and oxygen damper too tight

    Just thought i'd throw this up here real quick to see if anyone had any hints or tricks I could try while I try and figure out how to return this thing. I ordered a KAB4 off of Amazon, with the full intentions of using the burner out of it when I complete my brew stand. It arrived today, so...

    Help with Compact 3 Tier Brewstand

    Subscribed! This is exactly what I have been drawing out and wanting to build as well. Please keep this updated as I would love to see your progress. I'll be setting mine up more like a 1550 though, putting the BK on the middle tier and the MLT on the upper tier. Do you plan on adding...

    What's the trick for whirlpool...I can't seem to get it!

    Well, I have to give you mad thanks for going through the trouble! I'm extremely pleased to hear about your results. Your set up is exactly where my goal is set. I'm glad to hear it works. How fast do you whirl? For how long? How long do you let it rest after whirlpool before draining? Thanks...

    What's the trick for whirlpool...I can't seem to get it!

    That's just it...when I siphon down, the last few inches seem to just be a sludgy mixed up mess. I'm not really seeing solid matter resting on the bottom. It's almost milky, and tends to sit on the bottom in a inch or two layer across the whole bottom. This leaves me with either sucking up a...

    What's the trick for whirlpool...I can't seem to get it!

    I can't say whether or not i'm getting a good hot break...I don't see any difference over the past couple of years. I do use a whirlfloc tab at between 10 and 15 mins, and unless specifically attempting a whirlpool addition I immediately turn on the water through the IC. I'll try and keep some...

    What's the trick for whirlpool...I can't seem to get it!

    I do not have a pump, but have always attempted a spin driven whirlpool. I have NEVER come even CLOSE to having a nice pyramid of trub. Every time i've drained i've ended up with a very liquidy layer of crap on the bottom that just shoots up the cane or out the valve. I've whirled fast...

    Bend, OR...what's hot, what's not?

    Going to Bend this weekend to partake in the local beer scene...where are the hidden gems? What are the places I MUST see? What places are over rated? Good food spots, breakfast lunch and dinner? Must do breweries? Off the map spots? I want to make the most of my day and a half...and do...
