    Lagering - Fermentation Cycles?

    This is great information. I don't have the means to keg with co2. After going thru the process above. How would you recommend naturally carbing and bottling. Im doing a pilsner urquell clone with Wyeast (Urquell) and 1.052 OG

    Counterflow Chiller Tutorial

    Hold the counter chiller in front of you then rock it around in a circular motion. Each rock should bring fluid out the exit. After about a minute almost all of the residual fluid should come out. Thats what I do. I also don't flush star-san thru before long time storage. Just boiling hot...

    MLT; cooler vs keg

    Yes the rubbermaid is fantastic. I couldn't believe the amount of heat retention. I just made a keggle conversion for my boil pot. The only I don't like is the ungodly amount of heat you have to put into the thing. The size sure is a plus, but thats about it. Aluminum is lightweight and...

    Cheap Thermocouple Thermometer

    for more information about the physics of a ThermoCouple wiki "seebeck effect". Relates temperature to emf (voltage). V = (S1-S2) (T1-T2) where S1, S2 are the seebeck coefficients.

    Counterflow Chiller Tutorial

    Hightech therm. Probably need to wrap some clear take around the piece of Aluminum. Wish I made the copper pipe longer, but ran out of scrap and had to settle for AL.

    Sight Glass Project

    I guess its vinyl tubing. Whatever is at lowes and homedepot that can be bought by the foot. I currently use it from my boil kettle to my CFC. Without any problem. Ill probably try it out as a sight glass. Won't look at great but should function all the same. Definately won't break as...

    INFO Maintaing PID Longevity

    Im not an EE, so hopefully someone more knowlegable will speak up. Ill try to get the ball rolling. I hope my explanation is correct...never dealt with this problem but maybe what I do know will help The problem is that when your pump first turns on it pulls a high inductive load from the...

    Sight Glass Project

    THis is sorta off topic. If you can't get the polycarbonate or pryex tube but still have the stainless steel fitting part. Do you see a problem with using clear flexible vinyl tubing as the sight glass on a boil kettle. Like replace the compression fitting with a nipple and attach with...

    Coated Kegs Ok for boil?

    No, definately not residue from cutting. The coating is either something applied when the keg was produced or its a layer of oxidization built up over the 22 years of service. Don't really know. I did do some searching today and found that you can buy coated kegs, pretty much top of the line...

    Coated Kegs Ok for boil?

    The keg should be SS. Coating looks really dull, not shinny like the outside. It always scratched fairly easy with a screwdriver. This is my first keggle, never read anything about a coating.

    Help with unique wiring on Love controller and fridge problem

    Not to drive you backwards, but how sure r u the thermostat is broken. Its not a loss of freon or pump failure right? What make, model, age of fridge do you have. As far as on the pump. On new models there is a starter cap and run cap. The starter cap starts the compressor and the...

    Advice for Brew Kettles

    Aluminum does have superior thermal properties over to SS. Depending on the specific allow, aluminum has about 10 times the thermal conductivity as SS. So far I like my 7.5 gallon aluluminum turkey dryer over my 6 gallon SS. And don't notice any offtastes or terrets. Once someone asks...

    Cleaning beer bottles

    revvy and his volumptious bow are right. Use the search function not only here but all thruout the web. I don't scrub either. Yet again I don't drink out of the bottles. I rinse them soon after poring. Air dry upside down and rinse with starsan before bottling. Nexttime ill probably...

    seen on eBay - 24 stir bars for $25 ($31 shipped)

    Interested in a 1" and 1.5". I've read the ringed stirbars arn't quite as good as the ringless variety. Can't remember if performance suffered or if it was just a noise issue. My stirbox ins't going yet. The magnets will be in this week from Dealextreme. 20 10mm x 1mm for $2.86. Perhaps we...

    Chiller question

    Heat transfer is a function of surface area, mass flow rate of cooling water, convection coefficient (velocity of wort, how vigorous you stir), thermal conductivity of tubing and temps. For you, all of these things are pretty much fixed, but you should be able to control the convection...
