I understood most fitting, available through large homebrew supply stores, to be brass. Last I checked, brass was widely available at local hardware stores. Does brass not work appropriately for an all grain cooler set-up?

Does anyone have a parts list for starting an all-grain cooler set-up. I am in and around most major hardware stores (Lowes, HD, Ace).

Thanks for the advice. Based upon the opinions of individuals whom have commented, I am moving forward with a convoluted counterflow (Chillzilla/Midwest knock-off).

Sadly I have found myself with a desire to upgrade my chiller from a standard immersion. I am looking at either a counterflow or plate type. My residence is in the Southeast so water temperature is generally high. What are the pros and cons of each? I will add that I am nearing the end of...

Bobby_M: One persons opinion is just that sir. If I feel it is non value added I will state so regardless of how you feel about it or understand my response to be. Don't take everything you read in a forum personally as it was not meant to be. Some people are very matter of fact and to the point...

First: The comment was directed at the other indivdual who posted a reply about liabilities. My original question was not centered around legalities or liabilities related to the cylinder getting into the hands of a novice scuba diver because it never will. Furthermore any scuba diver, novice or...

I doubt there would be a concern of it entering the water starting a liability suit with a novice diver but thanks for the non-value added feedback. If o2 cleaned again, all impurities would be removed rendering the inner walls capable of accepting CO2 or nitrogen. SCUBA air is very pure and...

Unfortunately I have come to the point in my brewing hobby that kegging is a necessary. Having to buy an old freezer and convert it along with kegs just has to be done. Currently I have an aluminum 80cu ft scuba cylinder that hasn't touched the water in years and is sitting around. It can hold...

The starter is not still going but was pitched about 2.5 weeks ago. I saw little activity in the flask with almost no kreuzen build up. No stir plate was used during the process. I didn't see a need to pay for one considering cost and had not looked into building myself. Something tells me they...

Made my first yeast starter a few weeks ago for a porter recipe. How much activity should I be present in the flask while everything is happening? Thanks for the help!

agentEhrman: The yeast sat outside of the refrigerator for roughly 3 hours before pitching. I slapped it the day before and left it outside of my fridge to ensure viability. After it started to swell slightly I did place it back in the fridge until a few hours before brewing yesterday. I keep my...

I brewed a honey wheat yesterday and pitched at 81F using 1010 American WHT WYEAST slap pack. Unlike other brews I've done this one is lagging if doing anything at all. My last brew was a british brown ale with WYEAST 1945 pitched at 79F. It took forever to become active. Am I pitching at to...
