    Bazooka screen dead space

    Thanks, I have measured mine just with my bulkhead and was at half a gallon. Didn't look like the bazooka would be any lower in the cooler than the bulkhead, would prefer not to lose that much water each time

    Tangled laterals

    I have one cascade in a 20" pot that has several laterals about 30" long each. They have fallen over the side of the pot and are now wrapped back on themselves...growing back up on itself. Is this ok or should I have them grow up the main twine as well? What does everyone do with these laterals?

    Plate Chiller not working?

    this is my previous chiller - used once and sold b/c i wanted NPT threads instead of barbs. my setup is oriented just like this. pump is below so it flows up to the chiller, garden hoses connected directly. oddly enough the one time used this, gravity feeding it worked great...maybe i...

    Plate Chiller not working?

    So i haven't been able to connect everything back up but checked water temp again toady - 67F. Also checked flow rate of water at full open at it is a little over 6 gpm. haven't been able to check the flow rate i was using for the wort but it was barely open. Would a clog in the chiller cause...

    Plate Chiller not working?

    Totally agree with the temp...2 degrees within water temp im happy with...was just gonna take all night at the trickle i had it flowing at...1/2 gallon every 15 min was gonna take me several hours to cool...i was expected faster than that.

    Plate Chiller not working?

    Gonna try it again tonight with water and double check the direction of wort/water but it has garden hose connections so i think it was going the right way..will also mess around with flow of water i guess..

    Plate Chiller not working?

    Right after boil last night used my new 20 plate Duda chiller. Water temp was 68, going full blast. Wort was being pumped with Chugger pump. I had to have the wort barely trickling to get 70. anything more and temp would jump way up....is this right? i was filling the fermenter at about 1/2...

    Duda Diesel 20 plate chiller

    Have a 20 plate chiller for sale. Only used once, backflushed with hot water after it was used. Decided that 1/2" NPT will be better for me than the barbs. $50 shipped Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    1st keg - very fine head

    there are a few bubbles rising, but they are very tiny and small in number...not at all like if i had poured a beer from a bottle, or was drinking draft at a bar. am i possibly not as carbed as i think?

    1st keg - very fine head

    How much yeast sediment for Hefe

    yeah, that is a definite possibility...i just let the racking cane sit on the bottom - i'll give your way a shot next time. will this cause bad beer, or affect the way it carbs?

    How much yeast sediment for Hefe

    I did some searching but couldn't find what i was after, so if there are threads on this let me know. I bottled my first hefe yesterday and tonight there is about 1/8 of yeast at the bottom - much more than with my previous beer, a brown ale. I used Wyeast 3086 and did make a starter. Is this...
