    Adapting Shank Thread

    Hello, I am trying to adapt a standard beer shank thread, which is as I understand it 7/8-14 UNF thread. I am trying to adapt it to a 3/4" Female NPT as well as a portable co2 dispenser, which is believe is a 1/4" MFL. I am looking to get all of this in stainless, so that is making it more...

    Grape Skins Questions

    I just picked up one of winexpert's new kit's with the grape skins included and wanted to get some ideas on what the best way to add the skins would be. Now I know the easiest way is to add them to an plastic bucket during primary fermentation, but I really hate using plastic bucket fermenters...

    What to do with dead space in keezer?

    So i just finished my collared keezer and noticed how much dead space there was in there.

    High-density polyethylene tank fermentors

    I know there has been a lot of talk about medium density polyethylene being oxygen permeable, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with the high density types. http://www.tank-depot.com/productdetails.aspx?part=SII-18545-1.9 is double the price of the medium density, but still a lot...

    Move to secondary?

    I am wondering if I should go ahead and move a batch of 8ish ABV(didn't take OG reading...long story) to the secondary. The reasoning is that I am afraid I didn't get enough oxygen into the wort, and while fermentation started off extremely fast it now has slowed down a bubble in the airlock...
