    CO2 gone in no time.

    I just lost the contents of a cylinder because my gas lines had cracked around the hose barb.

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    OK guys, I need a little help. . . . I saw that one of you (I swear it was in this thread) created a bluetooth repeater antenna for your tilt. This was a simple insulated wire bent and hooked so that part of it is inside and part is outside the conical. Maybe I'm losing my mind. I searched...

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Pressure check and PBW scrubbing complete! I had only two leaks which I consider to be very good for my first time. One leak was on the ball lock post of the gas manifold. Because it came with an o-ring already applied to the threaded nipple, i didn't use teflon tape on that fitting. Big...

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Eric, I haven’t done anything yet. I’m out of town until later today. The brown Santa delivered my packages from Spike while I was gone. (I'm like a kid on Christmas morning— I can’t wait to play with my new toys, but I’m not there.)😥 I’ll put it together tonight and pressurize it before going...

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Thanks. My plan is to run a batch of hot PBW through it initially and giving it a good scrub. That will be followed by a hot water rinse, and then a good dose of star-san. I've read through Spike's guidance on this. Please let me know if you see anything I missed. I've got an electric HERMS...

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    I'm super excited! My CF10 (with TC100 and accessories) is out for delivery today. This will be a huge upgrade from plastic buckets and carboys. Planning on breaking it in Sunday with a 10 gallon batch of a NEIPA

    Check Your Refractometer Calibration!

    So, I have a batch of wine going, from a kit. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why the primary fermentation was stuck. I had a vigourous start, but then it stalled at 1.020 after a couple weeks. I added a heat pad under the wine, and added some yeast energizer. Four days later the...

    Sodium Metabisulfite

    H2S comes out of solution fairly easy at pH below the low 6’s. At normal beer pH, you should be able to depressurize the keg and purge a few times with good results.

    Grains and pH?

    Yes there is. I can't find it on my iPad right now, but search for EZ water calculator

    Debating how long to leave my beer in primary

    Three to four weeks is my minimum. At two months they are beautiful.

    keg lid leaking

    Try rubbing the lid gasket with some keg lube. It is essentially petroleum jelly that is rated food grade. Vaseline could work as long as you don't tip the keg to have contact with the beer. I've had great results with a couple of my kegs that have bad lids by using the keg lube.

    Any bets on if the Cuban cigar site is a copy/paste job too?
