    Looking for 5/8" compression fitting

    I'm trying to build a pressurized barrel transfer tool with a 5/8" OD racking cane, and the last thing I need for it is a stainless compression fitting with a 5/8" bore that the racking cane will pass all the way through. Does anyone know where I can find one of these with either a 1/2" or 3/4"...

    PID recommendations for HLT

    I have a HLT that I am putting together and I need some advice on PID selection. I am using a 6000w 240V heating element, and I have the ability to recirculate with the tank I am using. I am looking for a PID that would be able to control both the heating element (via relay) as well as a 120V...

    I just wanted to take a moment of personal pride here to announce the release of my first commercial beer in about 45 minutes! The beer is a sour mash Berliner Weisse, named Afternoon Delight and releasing at Paradise Creek Brewery in Pullman Washington. If anyone happens to be in the area...

    pH control on a sour

    I have a dilemma that my current knowledge of water chemistry is not affording me an answer to. My wife was kind enough to surprise me with a Russian River Consecration clone kit for Christmas, and I have finally gotten around to being ready to brew it this weekend. I have gotten in the habit...

    The $7 brew

    So I just recently got into all-grain brewing, and I probably need to go ahead and get some brewing software, but in the meantime I'm looking for some advice on a recipe. I got a great deal on some bulk grains, and with a impulsive buy of a couple lbs of Belma hops from HD at $5.25, I decided I...

    Buying Crystal malt in bulk - Home kilning question

    Well, I am getting ready to put together a bulk order, and I am debating whether or not to get a bag of Crystal malt. I was thinking I might be able to get a sack of 10L or 20L crystal, and oven-kiln at home to darker varieties as I need it. Has anyone had success with this? How difficult is...

    Broken Diffusion Stone

    Well, I went to grab my diffusion stone to oxygenate my last batch last weekend, and somehow the stone itself detached from the stainless wand it came on. Has anyone fixed one of these before? I was thinking of just trying to epoxy it back on, but I do not know whether the epoxy is food safe...

    Blank 12-pack boxes?

    Has anyone seen these or know where to get them online (or elsewhere for that matter)? I am brewing a few batches to bottle and give away at Christmas, but not having any luck finding blank 12-pack boxes, just 6er's. I can always go the 6 pack route but I would rather do 12 since I am putting...

    First All Grain BAtch - Wary of boil volume

    Hi all, I am planning to do my first all-grain batch this weekend, and I downloaded the Beersmith software to help out. I'm not sure I am doing it or reading it correctly though. It is telling me that for a batch size of 5 gallons, I would need 4.64 gallons of water to mash, plus a sparge...

    Ball Lock Coupler Fittings

    I am sure this has been answered before, but I am not finding the answer to my question. If it is already on here, I apologize in advance! I am just getting started with kegging, and I am trying to figure out which sets of keg couplers to get. I have ball lock kegs, so that part seems...
