Hello All, Just thought I would pass this information along. About 6 months ago I brewed a lambic using aged hops and did not have any nylon hop bags on hand to use for the boil. Instead I found some new Trimaco brand paint strainer bags in the garage and decided to use those. I used...

The gas lines I bought are definitely HP LP rated to 300 psi or something like that. I went home yesterday after work and really cranked down on those fittings and now no more leaks. Guess they were'nt tight enough. Thanks again for all your guys' help. Kevin

Gas flare fittings are universal are'nt they? The fittings are brand new. How tight should I be cranking on these things to get them to seal?

What do you mean by "check the labels on the gas line"? The flex gas lines are 1/4" high pressure propane hose with 3/8" female flares at either end. I got them made at the local hose supply. My manifold resembles the idea of that of the blichmann top tier. If the teflon tape stops the...

I have assembled my manifold for my brewstand but I am getting leaks where the 3/8" male flare and flex gas line are connected. I am not using tape at these connections and I have tightened these connections down as far as they go and still leaking. Is it safe to use teflon tape at these...

Hello, I am building a gas manifold for my single tier system. Currently it consists of 1/2" black pipe to gas ball valve to 1/4" ID LP gas flex line to the burners. Will the regular gas ball valve work ok in this situation or is a needle valve just a better investment all in all...

Thank You guys very much

What I meant was do I need teflon tape for the brass connections? For example, the propane jet that connects directly to the burner.

Does tefon tape/pipe dope need to go on the threads of the high pressure propane jet to burner conection? What about for the high pressure propane jet to jet adapter connection? Thanks

Is there a certain order in which to assemble the gas pipe manifold for a single tier brewstand? Do I start the assembly at the burners, or start at the bottom of the manifold? Thanks Kevin

I am currently assembling my gas manifold for my brew stand and was wondering if anyone out there knew of a way to paint the black gas iron pipe. My brewstand is nicely powder coated black and I would like to paint this gas pipe to match. Any ideas? Does the manifold need to be...
