I have an electric keggle (AB) all stainless welded ports (3) 1/2" female to female NPT ports and a welded 1" port for an element. All welding professionaly performed. I have polished the keggle and it looks pretty good it has tarnished some over the past brewing season. No hardware is...

Go UK our D was awesome. Here we come NC!;)

I dont know if this has been posted but this is an excellent primer for BIAB. From the Brewsmith website. http://www.beersmith.com/blog/2011/02/24/brew-in-a-bag-biab-down-under-beersmith-podcast-10/

If you ever wondered if nylon voile will withstand touching the element during the boil it will. My setup is a 5500W ULWD element. Last night I was cleaning my setup in prep for a brew day today. I have heard some people burning the bag on the element and I have heard others say they...

I want to put 1/2 npt male threads onto my 3/8" CFCs copper tubing do I use 1/4" to 1/2" npt fittings as I used 1/4 to 1/2 reducers on the CFC itself? I cannot find this information anywhere though I am sure it is out there somewhere. I link to the actual product would be nice. Thanks in...

Been searching hi and low for answers and have found very little about using an e-keggle for BIAB. What I am wondering is how to keep the nylon grain bag away from the 5500 watt element? I have seen some people using cake stands for gas keggles but I am afraid if I put some type of false...

I am going to be in Whippany next week and was wondering if there are any brew pubs and LHBS that I must visit around there. Any suggestions are welcomed, thanks.:mug:

I think my expert welder may have placed the hole for my element on the same plane as the dip tube or just a little higher. I dont think I made it real clear to him. I see alot of people take the ripp elements and bend them apart is it possible to bend them a little upward? Is it even ok to...

Has anyone done a 240V 5500W heat stick that is on a PID/SSR control that can be moved from HLT to BK?

I have been stepping up my equipment lately and decided to look into all electric brew kettle. I have acquired some freebies from work in the form of a PID, SSR, GFCI breaker, and 5500 watt heating element. So I guess I have no choice but to go for it. I was thinking about mounting legs...

I have a prime example of why not to use the airlock for fermentation indicator. I brewed my second batch last Saturday and by Wednesday the airlock had slowed significantly and the krausen had started to shrink and drop out. I checked the gravity on Thursday and it was nowhere near complete...

I am ready to do my second batch and first full boil. I know I have to compensate for water boil off and will start with 6 gallons. My question is, can I just use all of the hops that came with the kit and still have a great tasting beer? I know that hops utilization goes up as use more...

My first brew was a brewers best wit kit and spent two weeks in primary a week in secondary and so far a week in the bottle (will stay there for two more). First thought was WOW the beer is gold in color and clear. Head was nice and retained as well as Blue Moon and Shocktop. Taste at room...

After getting the first batch into the primary I got to thinking (dangerous). So I acquired a keg and had a friend plasma the top and weld on stainless fittings. Now searching these forums have been very educational except I have been left a little confused about keggles and extract brewing...

I brewed my witbier on Saturday and the fermentation is going well bubbles every two seconds even on day two. My question is not really a concern but of curiousness. My krausen never reached a very high level maybe an inch thick after 24 hours now it is slowly dropped to about half the...

Well I just wanted to pop in here and say thanks to all those that posted their issues and all of those that gave advice. I read many posts and the "Joy of Homebrewing". I started last night with Brewers Best Witbier kit and 3 hours later I was pitching yeast and sealing up the carboy. The...
