Does this serve as a needle valve and an orifice? If so, how do I know if it's high pressure or low?

As the title states, I am having issues dialing in my new brew stand. I'm running high pressure bg 12. If I open up the regulator they blow themselves out. At lower settings I don't think I'm getting the type of flame wanted. About half blue half yellow.

So, I bought some 5 ft hoses from Amazon that were described as high pressure. When they came in the mail, they were labeled high pressure but the stamp on the hoses says max 1 psi. Be aware of hoses that dont list a max psi in the description. I was able to return them so no big deal. What I...

Does anyone have any experience with these burners? http://www.agrisupply.com/carolina-cooker-replacement-burner/p/75679/ And as a side note, Is that "elbow fitting" the orifice? or do I still need to get an orifice?

OK, Ive been reading through all the forums and have become confused. I recently built a thre tier brew stand and am ready to plumb it for propane. I will be brewing primarily 5 gallon batches with some 10 gallon batches. I am converting 3 sanke kegs to serve as HLT,MT and BK. From what I...

I don't have much experience developing my own recipes. Im aiming for a golden ale but this seems like it might end up a bit dark. I want to keep the abv at about 5-5.5. Any advice is welcome 8lb- 2 row 1.5lb - crystal 20L 1.5lb - carapils .25oz Galaxy @60 .5oz citra @15 .5oz citra@5 American...

Hello, I have a real basic amber recipe that I found on here a couple years ago. I like it but would like to tweek it slightly. I really dont know too much about what grain tastes like what, except the obvious ones. My goal is to keep the IBU's and ABV where they are but get a bit more malty...

Anybody ever use one of these or know someone who has? From what I can tell, they met their kickstarter goal back in 2012 but I can't seem to find them for sale. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/parasitx/the-beerbugtm-digital-hydrometer?ref=live Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Home Brew...

I have a batch of cider that has been fermenting in the primary for about 2.5 weeks. It was just straight juice, I didn't add any sugar. Is there any reason I can't add some more juice and sugar to it now?

So, I've been looking around the forum but haven't seen anyone trying this. I'm thinking of making a tincture with a couple spices and some cut up granny Smith's and everclear to add to my cider while bottling. Do you think it will pull flavor from the GS? Do you see any potential issues?

I plan on making my own immersion chiller this week. The need has arisen since I have moved from Seattle to SoCal and the water temperature from my hose is consistently about 80*. ( I used to just do an ice bath and chill my wort in under 30 minutes) The question is, can I just coil up my...

So, I was taking a sample from my carboy and had my airlock and plug in the sanitizer bucket. I also had a couple other plugs in the bucket. Without thinking, after taking the sample, I reached into the bucket grabbed a plug and pushed it into the top of the carboy. It fit ok, but when I went...

So I got the STC 1k from ebay, delivered promptly. I went to wire it up today and cannot get it to work. Was wondering if any of you guys that have experience with this thing can give me some pointers. I originally wired a cut power cord hot and neutral directly to the STC and ran the ground to...

Hello, I am using the west coast coast ale yeast(BRY-97) for the first time. While it was my intention to cool the wort to 70, like normal, I did not. Not sure what I did wrong or messed up but never the less I ended up dry pitching the yeast at about 87. I must have had my temp probe in a cool...

Just curious if anyone has figured out how to use a fridge/ freezer as a ferm chamber but keep the freezer a freezer

I am in the middle of doing my second BIAB. I've noticed that there seems to be a variance in the temps in the mash. I have a digital Therm probe in the kettle. When I stir the grain I can get as much as a 3 or 4 degree change depending on where the probe is, and its not just from bottom to top...

I have looked around the forum a bit. ( granted, probably not as in depth as I could or should have) I have seen some of the partial mash stuff, including some great how to's. Is the partial mash the same thing as Brew in a bag? I would think the brew in a bag is a complete mash, no extract...

On Friday I brewed a kit from the lhbs. (kangaroo ale-Australian style bitter) og of 1.061. It was super active for the first 2 days, to the point of blowing all the water out of my airlock twice but then subsided to only bubbling every 2 minutes or so. Is it normal for it to calmed that much...

I have been using an "extra" bucket fermenter to mix up and store my sanitizer (iodophore) for the past few times. It now has a slight yellow tinge everywhere. Is it still Ok to use it as a primary?
