I have a brew stand that has the March pump mounted at the lowest point. I have plumbed it so that liquid from the hlt runs through it up about four feet to the mash tun. I used 1/2 cpvc. The pump sees to prime just fine. The issue that I am having is that it just trickles out, not a nice...

I am having a problem with my keg kettle (15.5 gal sanke keg). I recently got it but was running some tests today prior to making a batch. The problem is that once the water gets right below the ball joint bulkhead, it stops running out even though I have a dip tube that goes near the bottom...

Looking for a used 15.5 Gal keg with 1/2 inch coupler (inside and out) for valve. If none available for sale, then just a plain keg or one that has more than above. Thanks.

I just travelled 75 miles to purchase a 55 lbs of Munton's UK 2-row. When I got home, i noticed the dates....produced: 04/02/08 and best by end of Feb 2009. Do you think that it would still be ok to use over the next few months if stored properly or should I drive back that far to exchange...

I have a Johnson Controls thermostat on my refrigerator to regulate the temps for fermentation. Any ideas on the best ways to have the probe? Thanks.

I need some clarification regarding fermentation temperatures. A recipe calls for 62 degree fermentation. Is it best to let the wort get to that temp then add the yeast or go ahead and add the yeast then let the temp drop? Thanks! Tom

Are there any resources out there to help with getting specific information on ingredients (ie...og, moisture). I try some of the sites where I purchase the ingredients but they dont tend to list that on their sites nor do a lot of the manufacturers. Thanks.

Ok, I am ready to upgrade to some bigger equipment to brew full batch brews (5 gal extract). I need to purchase a burner, a new kettle, and a wort chiller. I want to get something that I can use when I advance to all grain brewing. That being said, do you have any recommendations on: 1) size...

I am thinking about purchasing a bigger kettle...10 gallons that would be too big to use in the kitchen. With brewing outdoors, do you tend to have problems with insects, bugs, debris in your wort? Any suggestions to prevent since it seems to be frowned upon to cover the wort while boiling.

I am brewing in five gallon batches and accidently purchased a six gallon carboy. Is that too much airspace thus causing corruption of my product? Thanks.
