    Small CO2 regulators?

    Hi folks. I need (NEED!):mad: to put 3 ganged secondary regulators in my keezer for different serving pressures and I'm having trouble deciding. I have very little room (like 15" W X 6"H) to spare since I'm cramming 5 kegs in a 7.2 Magic Chef. It's hard to see how big these regulators are...

    Pimp my Saison

    Hey folks- I recently purchased some grains (already mixed together kit from BMW) to 'fix' a bad attempt at a Saison. I was planning on blending the two Saison's together to get rid of the first botched batch. I have since decided not to do that and want to make some additions to this recipe...

    LOVE TSS2 Programming : Neutral Area Mode

    He folks- Just wanted to pass on the info I learned from speaking to Dwyer about the dual stage controller powering my ferm chambers. I have the TSS2 in 2 chest freezers with the heat source being a light bulb (which works 'awesome') and my thermowell puts the probe in the center of 15...

    24V Brewery Pump?

    I am looking for a 24V brewery pump. What do you think of this one? http://www.coleparmer.com/catalog/product_view.asp?sku=7202112 12GPM is a little much for a whirlpool right(?), so I would electrically speed reduce it, but what do you think? It does high temp (200F, that's enough)...

    In-line Ox stone - in the boil kettle?

    Hey folks- I am having (via Brewershardware) an in-line oxygenation device custom welded. Basically, it's a Tri-clamp instrument Tee from St. Pats and then the other part is a tri-clamp cap welded to a 1 inch morebeer diffusion stone (barb) on the inside and a female pipe coupler on the...

    Stopping fermentation pre-climax?

    by putting Man Delay in the primary... OK, just kidding. So, I've visited a couple breweries/brew pubs recently who say that a key part of their brewing is to keep some residual sugar in the beer by crashing it before it finishes primary naturally. Who does this? Forgive if this is a...

    All Grain Starter recipe and technique ??

    I can't seem to find an All Grain Starter recipe that I can make and autoclave like Jamil. Can someone give me a link? I'm sure it doesn't really make a big difference what base malt you use, but I thought I'd ask. Wanna get to Carnegie Hall the old fashioned way. Also, I was wondering if...

    Best Beer I've had in a long time from The Bruery

    The Bruery Orchard White Belgian Wit. Amazing. I think I taste Brett which makes sense since they make many Brett Saisons. Their beers are phenomenal and I wish I could make beer like Orchard White. It has everything-perfect. That's my "stuck in a desert/island" scenario beer. ;)

    Alternative to Wort Aeration

    I was wondering if this procedure would be a good method for putting the right amount of oxygen back into the wort in stead of using a diffusion stone (which is just something else to clean). I ferment in a Sanke keg. What if I pumped oxygen in, replacing most of the air, before filling the...

    Water testing question re: filters

    Hello- I've got pretty minerally hard water from a well that I'd like to get tested to know what adjuncts to get. My question is: If I'm going to be filtering my water in some way (not sure which filter yet) wouldn't it make much more sense to send a sample for testing that's taken after...

    Trying to fill 3 5 gal cornies at once from a keg

    OK, my fermenter is a Sanke, but it has corny posts on it so what I'm trying to do is fill 3 kegs at once counter-pressure. This is in stead of filling one at a time on a scale or something to approximate fill level. I was thinking of having the liquid out connected to some sort of manifold...

    LOVE Hate! - Shafted by Dwyer direct for controller purchase

    I was surprised by the rogering I got ordering 2 LOVE controllers direct from Dwyer because I had read nothing but praise from this site about them. I think they are sexy, for sure, but I have never witnessed it this bad ordering from a company's website. So, I ordered a TS2 for my keezer, a...

    Brewmation: An amazing turnkey brewery (not a Brew-Magic vs B3, but with comparisons)

    I am writing this review for all those who are considering a turnkey brewhouse/brew sculpture like a Morebeer B3 Sculpture, a Sabco Brew-Magic, etc. who are interested in amazingly high level of automation and function. I will start by saying that my review is a bit preliminary since I don't...

    Steam sanitizing/sterilizing (no chemicals)

    If one has a steam generator that can be hooked up to your fermenter and other vessels (cornies, etc.) would that suffice to both clean and sanitize (meaning I can do away with both oxyclean and star san)? How long would it need to be run (20 min?) for a proper sanitizing. And, if almost...

    Boost Carbing after Pressurized ferment

    Hello- I'm trying to figure out how to calculate a time value for how long to boost carbonate at 30 PSI, lets say, after a pressurized ferment. I have read the pressurized ferment thread in it's entirety and many say that above 7 PSI, the yeasties start doing odd thing that I don't want...

    Newb multiple (more than 2) CO2 regulator questions

    Hello- I am going to do a Magic Chef 7.2 cu ft keezer conversion and I'm trying to decide which conversion package to purchase from kegconnection (10% off and a free upgrade to 10 lb tank til Superbowl). What I would like to have are 4 taps going off of 4 cornies and another 2 cornies force...
