Thanks, do you have a picture of the silicone hose connection?

I have a couple of 5/8" OD immersion chillers I use. The connecting tubing keeps getting chewed up by the clamps I'm using. In addition the connection sometimes leak. I was wondering if there any fittings or disconnects that anyone has used for their chillers.

I'm looking for a piece of equipment that would allow me to squirt a shot of co2, e.g., into an empty carboy before racking from my primary, but I don't know what to call it. Searches for co2 gun returns various kinds of pellet, paint ball, etc. What is that equipment and are there any...

IMHO, good beer can be had with all grain and with extracts. One downside of all grain is that it introduces more variables and chances for error, not to mention another hour or two for the mash step. On the other hand it provides for more creativity and personal satisfaction that 'you did it...

Thanks for the replies.

I'm doing a kegerator conversion and would like to put in a couple of gas lines for an external tank with a double regulator. (That would allow me to have two different pressures for initial carbonating and serving.) The gas lines are 9/16 OD. I'm leery of just pushing them through a 9/16 hole...

I generally print my labels on paper with a color laser printer then glue on with standard 'lipstick' glue. (I've tried milk, but that's not very reliable). This is fine if I know the beer will be refrigerator chilled. However, I need something more substantial for beer that may be chilled in...

Interested in buying a 2-3 tap kegerator in the Northern Virginia area.

Still trying to learn how to use my brewpi. One thing I note is that the power plugs being controlled by the unit are connected to the 'normally on' connectors of the relay switch. Both relays are engaged, which means, the plugs would not be getting power if the unit was connected to power...

WARNING: Python geek speak! This is for people building the html user's manual for BrewPi from the github repository. I solved one problem, but I seem to have run into another. Compiling the manual to html requires running a python tool (sphinx) against the repository files. I had one...

I understand that wbarber69 was kidding. Still the basic info I'm trying to find is some type of user's manual for the brewpi. I think I have it up and running, but need to run some tests (that would engage the power to the chiller and warmer) before using actual power. Then the basic usage...

I found the docs on github. I downloaded and installed python, pip, and sphinx. I set the path and SPHINXBUILD environment variables. However, whenever I try to compile the documentation into html, I keep getting an error message that the SPHINXBUILD variable needs to be set. Any idea what...

My BrewPi now seems to be working. Where can I find information on using it, like a user's manual or thorough on-line demo? The docs.brewpi.com site seems to have been taken down.

I purchased the Raspberry Pi 3, the Arduino UNO R3 ATmega328P and the rest of the parts and built by control box. I was able to install the OS on the microSD and am able to see the brewpi page in my laptop browser. However, the main page has the message "Could not receive version from the...
