Well I received my 3/4" camlocks from Proflow today. I took a few pictures for comparison. The barb on them is very long with two barbs, I ended up taking the Dremel and trimming it down to only 1 barb and I am pretty pleased with the results. Not only does this eliminate the reducer but it...

OK thanks Bobby, I was hoping you'd chime in on this.

Not going bigger on the whole system just on the cam locks connecting to the pump to eliminate an extra fitting in the mix. Will post here as soon as I get them.

Since no one has replied I think I will order the 3/4" camlocks Monday and test it for myself. Will report back for anyone interested.

Hey guys I have a Chugger center inlet pump with the 3/4" mnpt threads. I currently am using a 3/4" to 1/2" reducing coupling to 1/2" camlock. In an effort to reduce fittings and threads in my currently being built system I am looking into the 3/4" camlock to 3/4" hose barb fitting at proflow...

Code please, thank you.

Here's a two coil parallel chiller I built a while back. 50 ft of 3/8" with 5/8" down tubes I believe they were. I regularly chill a 5 gal batch to 65 in about 7 to 7.5 minutes while whirlpooling with my gear motor stirrer. Hope this helps.

I couldnt get a bung to stay in my better bottle either until I rinsed the star San off the bung. Now I sanitize the bung and my hands then rinse with clean water and rub until no longer slippery, shake the bung nearly dry and insert. That star San is some slick stuff.

Here is the McMaster part number for the spring I use in my braid. 9663K26. Works very well. I like to really dig in and stir the mash well, you'll never crush that spring with a paddle.

Thanks for the quick reply bps

Hey guys I have an Amber ale fermenting right now, I used Wyeast 1056. I've never washed yeast before but I am thinking of washing this to use on biermunchers cream of three crops ale. As long as I am washing this and not just racking on top of the cake will I be ok as far as flavors are...

Ice water will read 32 regardless, but only at sea level will your boiling point be 212. Boiling point is dependant upon your elevation and barometric pressure. My elevation is 4354 ft above sea level and boiling point is 204.5 deg F. There are calculators online to determine your boiling point.

I also used swagelok fittings. All I had access to were non bored through. I went ahead and drilled them a bit small (I think it was 7/32") and then used a 22 caliber brass bore brush with different levels of polishing compounds on a drill to open them up to the perfect size as well as put a...

If anyone does end up using the stainless ferrules, a proper swage is finger tight and then 8 flats with a wrench (1 1/4 turns). FYI I've seen people tighten those suckers down to the stop or not enough and it is a compromised seal, but for our applications it isn't too critical.

That's looking pretty good! I have done a fair amount of boards with the toner transfer method, mag paper and clothes iron. If you are looking to doing this more in the future I would invest in a cheap laminator , it works wonders. Also look into using pulsarprofx paper and greentrf foil for a...
