Awesome, then you deliver to me! I know my ingredients/equipment is in good hands. At least the things I can’t get at Bet Mar. Are there any other brew shops in town that I am unaware of?
Hey all, I just picked up this thread. I have been away from homebrew for awhile but trying to get back into it. I think it’s great what you all do here. I live in Lexington. I’ll be following this group now.
From what I understand it’s not a complicated process but you will obviously need a different air tank, regulator and so on. If I recall you can’t use a CO2 regulator on a Nitro tank.
In short, I know it’s done just most folks don’t want to invest in equipment to run both a CO2 tank and a...
I would read that as 1.01. I suppose anyone can get real picky about their readings but I use just try to get in the ball park. Hell, some home brewers don't even take readings (that does sound a little silly to me). I personally use both a refratometer and a hydrometer because I like to compare...

I would suspect the bottles. Complete pain, but if you don't use a bottle brush and either soap or bleach on the preliminary scrubbing your likely to get bottle bombs or gushers. Starsan and Iodine only sanitize a clean surface.
That being said I would replace any rubber tubbing and go through...
Just cut 2 with an angle grinder. They look great. I second the fact you can probably go no larger than 13" with an angle grinder.
However, why change everything around an immersion chiller when you will probably want to upgrade to a counterflow chiller or a plate chiller in the future?

Welcome to the area! Bet-mar is a solid shop. Disappointing to hear of the shop closing down in the old mill. Also there is the Keg Cowboy on main. I've never been but I looked on their website and they say they still have home brew supplies.
Not that my two cents matters but I would vote for a dorm refrigerator or a small freezer both utilizing a temperature controller. I tried swamp coolers and styrofoam boxes with fans and frozen 2 liters and it all seemed a pain. A nice freezer and temp controler is a set it and forget blessing...
