I'm gettting ready to install a 55k heating element into my 26 gal morebeer kettle. My question is, where should I install it. Assuming the ball valve is 12 o'clock. I was thinking putting it as low as possible and situated around 7 or 9 o'clock to avoid hitting the dip tube from the ball valve...

So I've been talking with Speidel about the Braumeister to find out what materials might contact my beer. They have unfortunately stopped communicating with me. So I'm coming here. Does anyone know what material the pump impeller on the Braumeister is made of? I've been told "food grade"...

I am making a krystallweizen and it is hazy. I did an all grain batch with RO water and 5.2 buffer. I fly sparge and use an immersion chiller to chill from 212 to 80 in less than 15 minute. I used Irish moss in the last 15 minutes of boil. It was 60 wheat and 40 percent 2row only 2 uunces of...

I brewed up a pilsner/cascade smash and planned to lager. I put 5 gallons in each carboy (10 gallon batch) and lowered the temp to 51*F. I pitched white labs American lager yeast in one, and Czech lager yeast in the other (two tubes in each). Now the american (6 days later) is high krausen, the...

I have a typical March pump (809) I think (the kind they sale on Morebeer). Well I see they have a h315hf pump now that gives about 6 more feet of rise. I wonder if that is just a newly designed head that I might be able to buy and put on my current h315 (809) march pump? Has anyone done...

Sold. Thanks bought a Blichmann beergun when I bought kegging setup. I never bottle now. I'm going to sell my beergun, only used once. It comes with everything one needs up to the ball lock on your keg. $60 + actual shipping. Email me if you're interested.

OK, I figured I'd post this to you all as a warning to not repeat what I did this weekend. I have used a 5000 ML borosilicate Erlenmeyer flask for the last year. I've used this flask on direct gas stove top oven and placed it into ice water many times with no problem. Yesterday, I was out in...

So I've moved to a new home where I have installed a sink and had hot and cold water ran to the garage. I saw this used commercial sink on a local newspaper sales board. I found a one bay super large sink with counter, and a few days later located a sink sprayer. All and all, I'm into this setup...

Hopefully this makes sense to some of you. I am completely lost and really want to understand this better...

Ok, I'm going to try a clone of Sierra Nevada Pale ale this weekend. Now I picked up my hops and the AA is 6.9, not 5% as in the recipe. Ok, so I am changing the amount for the 15 minute hop, to adjust for the higher Alpha Acid. The question is: there is a "0" addition of .75 ounces at boil...

I'm making a brew sculpture and need to run a few feet of flexible hose to the burner. I was thinking of making the flex hose out of 1/4" but have used 3/8 in the past. Just wondered if anyone could tell me if the 1/4" is too small or if it would be okay. I assume it would be fine for flow with...

I had a problem in the middle of a brew yesterday. I was using the march pump to push my sparge water up to the sparge arm. I noticed my sparge was a little cold, so I turned up the temperature of the sparge water. It got up to about 190-200 and the water would stop pumping. I took the head...

I found a cheap thermomter that was digital, had a remote wired tHermostat. My only complaint is a slow one second refresh rate. But it seemed to handle staying in a boiling starter for 15 minutes without dying. Better than other remotes I've broken. It also showed the right temp when the...

I currently keg my beers. My Swimbo's father had two CO2 bottles he used for soda pop. He was walking them out to the trash when she noticed and grabbed them for me. They don't have a traditional top on them, and I'm not even sure I can use them. If anyone knows how I could hook them up to a...

I was considering making a GF beer for my mother in law. I endear her to me by calling her a "wheat-tard". She really hates this. Maybe if I made her a beer she would rejoice in my beermaking-joke-making ability.... But I need to be able to drink it myself too? TIA, Ryan

So I build a rocking brewstand (according to me), that is also easily transportable. I want to do a brew on Friday day, swmbo wants to go camping. She suggests, I made a portable brewstand to do just this. I'm thinking my travel trailer holds 90 gallons of water. I go for 2 days. I could...

I've been searching for this problem on here without luck. I've ran into this problem many times, but not sure how to deal with it best. So I'm looking for others who may know. I do 5 or 10 gal batches, all grain, with fly sparge. I've done probably about 15 batches so far. While brewing, I...

Ok, really I have found what I want, but the price is way to prohibitive for me... sort of. So if any of you know of some good, heavy duty, leaf hinges please post here. here is the link of what I've found, just too expensive in case you wonder what the heck I'm talking about. Oh yeah...

Ok. I need help with a gas valve. I'm hooking up a KB14 banjo burner I bought (kick a banjo burner), but want to build it into a brewstand. I have a 30psi adjustable regulator, but want to be able to adjust the flame similar to a bbq. So my question is, are all bbq valve able to hold 30 psi...

Ok, thought I would post this. This is the mock up, but I have begun the actual process of making it. Just need to find some more time to make it back to the shop. I'm also waiting on the UPS/FEDX/DHL/Whoever is bringing me my crap (and I hope they hurry) to get it done. If all goes well I will...
