People don't used galvanized metal in your mashtun. Do not use brass fittings in your mashtun. If you like introducing lead into your beer then go ahead and do it. I watched one of the videos and the girl was using galvanized wire in the SS braid. For what it's worth get some 14 gauge house...

If your using RO water do you add water additives to it?

Has anyone else noticed that the seal in the faucet that connects to the shank stinks of plastic bad? I had to remove the faucet because it was leaching into the beer in the line. I could taste it.

Couldn't I notch the holes so it would fit?

Oh well guess they are worthless

Relatives of ours own a brewery in Germany its called Geisler and they make a wicked Kolsch. I know this is off topic but if you go to Germany ever try it.

This seems to work. Calibrate it to 0 with distilled water. Then take your reading. if it comes up at 1.068 subtract 20 and the true reading is 1.048. I've done this on a few different reading side by side with my hydrometer and its seems to be dead on.

I just bought another one Ill try to sell the salinty one That the difference between 1.033 and 1.038 is like 30 brix it seems it would be very hard to get an accurate reading

Resetting to zero sends the readings totally out of wack because sugar and salt have different consistancys

The scale is wrong so using water doesn't help. You have to calibrate it to scale. From what I seen its showing 1.052 on my hydrometer and 1.057 on my refractometer

I still have these but have not used them yet. I have to look at it I believe the bolt pattern will fit my head from my other pump if that's the case chiggers is selling stainless steel heads

Wont any March pump head fit? It has a similar bolt pattern to my other pumps s

I will be buying ss heads for them

the recipe tasted more traditional I'd say almost hogarden but more bite

I bought a salinity refractometer thinking that it was the same thing as a brix refractometer. Just wondering if it will work for beer? I took my hydrometer and did a reading of apple juice then put the apple juice in the refractometer and adjusted it to what my hydrometer said. This...

I just kegged this brew maybe 2 and a half weeks ago and its great. It's best to let this carb up properly and sit for atleast 2 weeks to get the best taste possible. If under carbed just like any beer the hops come out a lot more bitter. By letting the beer properly carb up and age for 2...

On a cooler Id say go with the braid its a lot easier solution and cheaper to boot. braids are not quite as good on a big keggle system. I had some issues with stuck sparges on large grain bills. I had to go to a manifold with the slits pointed downward have never had an issue since.

I didn't follow this exact recipe but its close. I used some of jamils recipe and some of this one. I used liberty hops should have around 16 IBU's used 1.2 ounces for bittering then .34 ounces at 1 min. My grain bill was 3 crops maybe 4. I used 3.75 lbs of pilsner mal and 3.75 lbs of 2-row. I...
