    Double coil immersion chiller

    Brewphish, If you want 50', look around for refrigerator tubing, that's what my box said it was. Yes, the garden hose hookup is nice. As I searched and read other posts, people said the hose hookups were the way to go. Keeps the hose from breaking at the pipe, and like you said, the...

    Double coil immersion chiller

    I decided to brew 2 extract batches at a time to save setup and cleanup time, so I figured I'd need a chiller. After searching/reading what others here have made, I decided on 50' of 3/8" pipe and made it with 2 coils. I got the pipe at Menards for about $40. The inner coil is wrapped from...

    Natural keg conditioning

    I sugar primed my first keg. I had CO2, so I put the sugar water in the keg, racked from bucket, sanitized lid, put lid on, then hit with 20 psi to the Gas In post to seal the lid good and then purged a couple times. Be aware that if your lid doesn't form a tight seal when you put it on, the...

    Safe to drill thru this old fridge wall?

    I recently moved, and the seller left his old beer fridge. Its pretty old but stays cold. Before I drill a hole through the side for my CO2 line (I've got a 15 lb tank that will sit outside), I'm requesting advice on where the cooling lines are so I don't ruin the fridge. Can anyone...

    Used Corny - preferred brand/model?

    I've decided to get a 2-keg system for my next brews. Luckily, I'm w/in easy driving of a retailer of keg products, so I plan to drive over and pick out my kegs rather than mailing them. Are certain used Cory's preferable to others? Here's NB's poppet valve descriptions. Are the Type A...

    Corny Keg Height Question

    Keg Connection has pin locks in stock http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=392 They are 22" tall, 9" wide. Keep in mind, the pin lock disconnect is taller than a ball lock disconnect. I'd suggest you contact Keg Connection, and ask them to measure the height of a pin lock w/ the...

    Kegconnection question

    mgo737, Assuming you set up both w/ dual regulators, you are getting a better regulator on the Premium kit. I stopped by KegConnection yesterday (about 25 miles down the road from me), and a friend of mine picked up a single keg set. He went with the standard regulator. I'm sure the...

    Taprite or Micro Matic CO2 regulator?

    Well, I've got my first batch in bottles, and the second is fermenting. I plan to get a keg system in the next few weeks to make my life easy. Anyone have regulator opinions? I like the looks of the Micro Matic premiums here (and their on-site feedback is positive), but I don't think they...

    Auto siphon and bottle filler

    Are the Leaktite buckets and other inexpensive ones food grade, or doesn't it matter for the short time beer is in them? thanks drano

    Love TS programing/settings navigation

    Click on this link, then on the side in the Product Details box, click Service manual. http://www.dwyer-inst.com/Products/Product.cfm?Group_ID=402 I've got the same model, and its pretty easy to use. For a few years I used it to control my meat smoker. Now I run a PID on it, so the Love is...

    Love vs. PID for fermentation temp. control

    I have a Love TS controller hooked up to my fridge right now. I hooked it up to control fermentation temp of my stout, and now the bottle conditioning. Its my first brew, so I'm not a homebrew expert (haven't even popped a top yet--need one more week minimum in bottles), but I've had a Love...

    Howdy from Texas

    Been lurking for about a month, and decided to join. My first batch, a stout, was in the primary 2 weeks, and has been in bottles for about 10 days. Recipe says 3 weeks--gonna be a long 3 weeks! Borrowed a friend's equipment to give this a try. I'm not a big commercial beer drinker, but...
