Thanks for the reply about the outside hookup. One additional question: Would occasional use of an to system be a problem? I would plan to store it in my garage and hook it up outside once a month when I brew.

Is there a unit I can hookup to my garden hose faucet outside?

I tried gorilla glue this weekend. Seems to be holding. If it comes off again I'll try caulk or the construction adhesive. I did put waaaay too much gorilla glue in and had a big mess.

Thanks I will give that a try.

The bottom came off one of my kegs. Any ideas how to repair this? Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone recommend an adhesive to use? It looks there is some residual adhesive left on the rubber part. Any idea what to use to remove that before I apply new adhesive. Thanks!

If you had a kettle with an electric heating element and a controller, you could set it to maintain a temperature so that it would be ready in the morning. I have never tried this. I would be a little concerned about leaving it unattended over night.

Sometimes mostly off flavors due to fermenting warm. Sometimes actually really good. Tasted a London ESB starter on Friday and it was quite good. Main reason I taste is to make sure the starter isn't contaminated before pitching. Can also tell if the yeast didn't do anything if it tastes too...

You could try adding some clarity ferm if a gluten sensitivity is the problem.

I always decant most of the starter wort on brew day and then taste it. Anyone else do that?

I have just the mash controller. It works pretty good. It took a while to get it setup and tune in, but now it is working great. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have been using clarity ferm for about the last 6 months. The beers have turned out fine. My IIPA brewed with it even won a few first places. I haven't noticed the beers to be any clearer though. I don't have a gluten allergy, but just trying to eliminate it as I have gone Paleo.

I'm an early morning brewer too! I usually get going around 5:30 am to 6:00 am. It gives me some time to get going before the kids wake up and I'm done by mid afternoon and still have time to do stuff with my family.

I'm paleo too. Beer is my only cheat. I have been using clarity ferm lately as we'll to cut down on the gluten. I started low carb, but upping my carb intake as I workout hard just about every day.

I don't think you really need chalk anyway. I brewed a stout a few weeks ago using distilled water and some calcium chloride and got a mash pH of 5.4 at room temperature.

Can someone post a picture of the electric kettle?

I have tried several times. The beers were all good, but I don't really know how much of a difference this made. I'm moving back to adding all the roasted and dark crystal grains at the start of the mash since I want them in there to help bring the mash pH down.

MyLhbs in 7 corners has them.
