    Therminator Push or Suck

    I know I am just setting a thread up for innuendos but a few answers would be nice as well. I have a march pump and a therminator. I normally recirc for 10- 15 minutes left in the boil then turn on the water and begin chill. The setup is Boil kettle> Therminator> Pump> Boil Kettle. This has...

    cutting top for keggle, $#?&*@@!!!!

    I have cut three with an angle grinder. it took no longer than 10 minutes each. I use a thin metal disc from harbor freight with a big lots angle grinder. I just clamp the angle grinder to a stick of wood that revolves around the center hole. Bobby has a video out there on a similar contraption...

    Blichman AutoSparge Questions

    Thanks, it doesn't seem like there are too many steller reviews on this but it doesn't seem too bad either. Out of curiousity, Jay, what setup are you using? Are you in a converted Sankey as well? If anyone has pictures of how they've mounted it that would be helpful. Thanks, Ben

    Blichman AutoSparge Questions

    So, How high should I mount it in the keg. I would like to be flexible enough to do both 5 or 10 gallon mashes. Do people use these? It seems like not to many people are saying much... Should I reconcider spending 50 bucks on this?

    Blichman AutoSparge Questions

    I am thinking of getting a Blichmann Autosparge. I am using a March pump with Silicone hosesfrom Austin Home Brew. I understand that the silicone hoses can't hold up to much forward pressure on the lines. Will having the pump running while waiting for the Autosparge to open and release sparge...

    I have a couple white labs tubes that I would like to store some yeast in. Is it possible to autoclave the tubes or is that a meltdown waiting to happen

    Money saved?

    55# MO from the group grain buy was $47 delivered. If your keeping score that's 86 cents a pound.

    T-58 Pros? Cons? Indifference?

    I made a trippel with it. It is not the best stuff for that. It works,but I think the 530 is much better. I would say it is suited for a lower gravity beer or a wheat beer. Not great for strong belgin styles.

    Steeping grains without a bag?

    I just have a screen at the bottom of my kettle. I let the grains steep for about an hour, check for protein then open the valve. Sometimes recirculating is required to ensure all the grain is filtered out . To make sure I get all that grain goodness I run several gallons of hot water over the...

    Are you a Beer snob or connaisseur???

    My wife likes to call me and my friends "beer dorks". That's ok. I call her friends shopping c*nts. I think it's even.

    Diff between Commercial & HB... a medical question

    Rice? Corn? Are those allergies? I understand that they are occasionally used by the BMC's :cross:

    How necessary is an airlock?

    see blow off tube. it works just as well for a quick ferment. it is simply a tube that goes into a cup of water. This serves exactly the same purpose. Don't let the lack of a airlock hold you back. When you see how the blow off tube works you will certainly understand why. BTW an active ferment...
