never mind...answered my own question. Now, how do I delete this?

A long time ago I came across a ball lock PSI guage that attached to the co2 in side of a keg that was supposed to monitor the pressure. Has anyone seen these for sale lately? I first saw them on williamsbrewing.com but can't find them now...never did see them on midwest or northern. I'm...

Ok, I've got a jug of cider from Whole Foods and the following dry yeast on hand: - Red Star Montrachet (red packet) stamped 2013 - Red Star Cote des Blancs (green packet) stamped 2013 - Muntons Active Brewing Yeast (light yellow packet) stamped 2009 Which one should I use or should I go...

Im using this for the first time and seem to be doing something wrong. I've got a video showing the issue, but can seem to figure out how to embed it from the HBT app. There is a liquid leak that is shooting out from the elbow that is facing the gas side. Here is the video link...

Thanks

At the moment Dogfish Head 90 is my favorite IPA. I'd like to try others that are considered similar (IPA's only, +5% ABV preferred) and am open to suggestions. To keep things clean, just copy & paste this and keep adding your favorites. Also, add the location of the brewery so we know where...

So, I've never really paid attention to the reading of the main pressure guage on my 20lb CO2 tank. I took a closer look and noticed that the pin had jumped over the end post. I just popped off the cap and put it back on the correct side and there is a lot of tension on the needle keeping it...

I'm using a 20psi regulator, as I have always done with my propane tanks. I've had two full tanks and they both stopped working after using about 1 gallon of propane. I had them topped off and they each would only take one gallon. After I got them topped off, they worked with the burners for...

Got a tank off of craigslist. Looks to me in good condition and it's full. Guy said it was CO2, but I don't see any marks. How do I know its not Argon or something else?

On page 39 of the November 2010 Brew Your Own magazine, see the Phillips Brewery Burley Wine clone - 5 gallons. I'm brewing this all-grain and would like to compare to others brewing the same recipe all-grain or extract w/ grains. Here are the recipes: ALL-GRAIN: OG = 1.085 FG = 1.013...

OK, I just transfered from my secondary to a soda keg. Beer Smith says: Carbonation Type: Kegged (Forced CO2) Volumes of CO2: 2.4 Pressure/Weight: 21.6 PSI Carbonation Used: - Keg/Bottling Temperature: 60.0 F Age for: 28.0 days Storage Temperature: 52.0 F Does this mean that I...

So, I started to use BeerSmith and am trying to calculate my efficiency. The Cream Ale recipe from the NB kit which I plugged into BeerSmith called for 2.5 gallons at 150 F for 60 min, 1.6 gallons at 170 F for 10 min and 2.85 to sparge. I collected 6 gallons in the kettle (supposed to...

When I went to put my carboy in the chest freezer, I realized that the temp controller stopped working. If I by-pass the controller, the chest freezer powers-on. Any ideas of what to look for in trying to fix this?

So, this is the first time I'm going to use Beer Smith. Any advise as how to add the mash profile for this recipe? I've got a single-tier all-grain setup with a boil kettle, mash tun and HLT. I'll recirculate in the mash tun with a pump. Thanks!

I made dip tube from copper that goes to the bottom of the mash tun. Is there a reason that the diagram shows it flared out under the screen? Gonna test out the new false bottom tomorrow.

I've always used white labs tubes in the past. I just received a kit from Northern Brewer that took 4 days to arrive. The ice pack was hot (this is Vegas) and the smack pack was inflated. I plan on brewing in 2 days. Will it last or should I make a started with it?

I've seen various installations of a dial thermometer plumbed to a plate chiller, but can't seem to find them again on here. I'm want to see how others have attached it with a tee. I'm afraid that a 3" probe will be too long to hook-up with a tee. Any ideas? Thansk...

I took my finally finished single tier for a spin last weekend. I started off with a full propane tank with indicator dial. After brewing an all grain 5 gallon batch, the indicator was on "low". How much propane do you use on a single tier all grain 5 gallon batch?

I using my new single tier for the first time today doing my first all grain batch. I have a Love Controller for the Mash Tun and HLT. They are both cutting off at 150 degrees. Does anyone know how to set them higher, like 170 degrees? Thanks!

An HVAC friend of mine is going to give me one of these: LINK I'm not sure which model it is until I pick it up on Friday. Can anyone recommend an in-line filter? I will definitely have an internal screen on the backside of the ball valve in the kettle, but I want another screen. I'm...
