    Flow resistance (4mm)

    I built a great keezer base on all the design ideas I found here. I used duotight everywhere and 4mm ID EVA barrier tubing. I'm suddenly feeling the need to ensure it is balanced correctly. I have most beers carbed at 2.5 volumes and using ~12 psi to push. What I cannot find is the flow...

    Yards brawler

    This is an easy drinking beer. I've see it called an English Mild. There is an ancient thread here with a recipe, but I was hoping to find someone else's take on the recipe. Anyone here enjoyed? Anyone brewed it?

    Tubing size

    Planning my keezer build. I'm planning to use DuoTight and Evabarrier. What are the right tubing sizes for beer and CO2? As an aside, is there a good guide for some of the basics?

    Using corn meal

    Local brewer gave the club 25 lbs of fresh ground, local heirloom corn (enough buzz words in there?) I'm brewing a Pale ale this weekend and want to use the meal to add some alcohol and maybe a hint of flavor. I'm looking at adding 2.5 lbs to the mash. Two questions I have are 1) Do I need to...

    Party Tap growler filler tube?

    Is there a filler tube available that will slip into or over the nozzle on a party tap? I have two beers on tap but only one faucet at the moment.

    Motorized Mill build

    I'm trying to build a version of the mill from this article and I'm having an issue with the drive mechanism. I have 1/2 nipple from the drive and a 3/8" shaft on the mill. No matter how tight I get the hose clamp as soon as grain hits the mill, it slips. I've considered grinding two flat...

    black and grey keg connectors

    I'm having a tough time getting started kegging. My NEIPA seems to have clogged pick up tubes in two kegs :-). But my real question is are the two connectors the same size? I'm having a real hard time getting the connector on the beer post.

    Collecting Kegging Links & Info

    After 5 years of brewing and bottling, I'm about to start kegging. (I know, the guys in my club think I waited too long, too.) I went to the sticky post for kegging and found 10 of the first 14 links were dead. perhaps it is time to build a new sticky post for the forum. If you all will...

    Getting started in 2018

    I was given a Tilt Hydrometer for Christmas and it got me excited about the BrewPi and logging temp & SG during fermentation. I picked up a RPI and Arduino and started playing around. But I'm finding that much of the build info is two plus years old and the Pi no longer supports Arduino. I've...

    RO System and Permeate pump

    I want to start brewing with water from our RO system so I bought a 10 gallon holding tank for our hoe system(WHER25). I also bought a permeate pump to boost the system pressure. Problem is the permeate pump doesn't work with my manifold system as I cannot put the one tee in where it belongs...

    Cleaning my cooler

    I've been all grain brewing for two years. I have a coleman cooler that works well. Cleaning is generally a good rinse with the hose and an air dry. The white liner is starting to brown. I've tried a PBW soak without much change. I've seen some nasty mash tuns and I'd rather mine not look like...

    Too much wort from my new 10 gal kettle

    My son & I are 6 months into brewing. We recently added a 10 gal kettle and brewed a farmhouse ale today. I over estimated the boil loss and started with 6.5 gal of water. When we were done, we had 5.5 gallons of wort. As expected the OG was about .01 low. Too fix it, we pulled off two...
