Im thinking of building the same system as was discussed on Norther Brewers site http://forum.northernbrewer.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=61167 and am wondering, if using a system like this, how many of these one gallon kegs can i expect to get full carbonation with a 2.5g co2 tank? Thanks, -Dub

Im getting ready to bottle today and have my beer sitting in a V-vessel conical fermenter. I dry hopped it last Saturday with 3oz of citra pellets that are still floating on top. I need to prime the beer and normally do it in a bottling bucket, where i pour my priming solution in first and as...

I've been looking for a used Berzomatic Oxygen regulator for a while now, and the new ones are always sold out at all the usual HBS's. I ran accross this gem on amazon and am wondering if you guys think this will work with some minor modifications...

I purchased a used Ranco ETC-112000 on ebay and wired it up. Its a 24v unit, running through a 24v transformer. Its the same model as the etc-111000, just 24v. I'm running into an issue that is showing the incorrect temperature. Its showing that the temp is 137. Obviously its no where near...

I have a racer 5 clone that i will be bottling today, but during the transfer to the second, i only managed to collect 4 gallons of beer. My priming procedure has always been to boil 4oz of corn sugar with 2 cups of water. I don't want to over carbonate this batch. How can i achieve proper...

I am planning to brew a Racer 5 clone tomorrow and am wondering how i can tell if my yeast starter is ready. This morning, i made a starter using 1 Cup Light DME and 900ml of water and some yeast nutrient (Per morebeer.com's recipe). I cooled it to 70 degrees and pitched in my vial of...

So i am thinking of this sort of chiller design. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-wort-chiller-for-homebrewing/ What are your thoughts on this? It seems that this would be a really efficient way to quickly chill the wort and only waste as much water as can fill the cooler...

Does anyone know the inner diameter of a round orange 10 gallon RM cooler? I work near a sheet metal fabricator who may be able to cut me a round piece of SS so that i can fabricate a true false bottom. I want the fit to be good.
