This is an old freebee 2.5 gallon pin lock that needs some work + I would like to convert to ball lock. The problem: the gas post is 11/16" -18 and the liquid post is 3/4" - 18. Can't find any place that offers ball lock posts to do the job. Any ideas? Maybe I should just use it as a StarSan...

Anyone use a short (small form) precision hydro? It looks quite nice for conserving precious brew: SG 1.0-1.07, around 165cm tall (6 inches) vs the usual wide 1-1.17 range at 285-330cm (11-13 inches). The recommended sample volume is in the neighborhood of 140ml (less than 5 fl. oz.) vs...

As part of the process of tweaking my brewing game I am about to abandon my old and mostly trustworthy lhbs 0.999-1.17 hydrometer in favor of a precision hydrometer or two. To go along with this I have also nearly completed a new spreadsheet that works with either Plato or specific gravity...

None of the SG hydrometers I have found are calibrated to 20C. I have been thinking about a method or methods to do this conversion, but can't try them without, for example, both gravities for a 10P solution. The more complicated nerdy method starts with equality of mass of extract (wex): wex...

Since SG & Plato are often used in tandem for calculations (e.g. dH2O(20C)*SG(20/20)*Plato = w extract), it is understandable that most homebrewers use either a SG hydrometer and calculate Plato (my current method) or use a dual scale SG/Brix=Plato hydrometer - although I don't particularly...

I have been redoing my spreadsheet attempting (among other things) to eliminate gravity points from recipe calculations. Starting from m = V*SG*d*P m = mass (kg) extract V = recipe volume SG = specific gravity of wort d = density of water at 20C (kg/L) = .998203 P = degrees Plato Here are the...
