My name is Ben. I would be very interested in a club in Milton or Pace. I have lived here for about two years and have been brewing for nine. I was a member of the Escambia Bay Homebrewers Club. It is a good club but like you I would prefer something a little closer. One of the owners of...

This past weekend someone from work came by my house, he did not know that I brewed beer. In the past he had told me that he did not care for beer. He asked for a glass of water (my r.o. system is on the patio by my outside two tap fridge). I asked if he wanted water or beer, he tried a Pale...

I purchased the regulator below from Williams Brewing and I have lost count of the number of beers I have brewed using it. I believe I have a 20 cubic ft tank. It has worked great! http://www.williamsbrewing.com/OXYGEN-REGULATOR-FOR-WELDING-TANK-P3476.aspx

Here is a chart. http://westank.com/wp-content/docs/sizing/expansion.pdf Looks like a coefficient of about .024 from 70 degrees to 175. 7 gallons x 1.024 = 7.168 gallons.

1. I fill the HLT to the top of the 10 gallon kettle which covers almost all of the coil. 9 gallons is always enough to get the preboil amount that I want. 2. There is always water left in the HLT. I do not use Beersmith, but I used to calculate the amount absorbed by the grain and then...

I have a three kettle system powered by propane and a 1500 element in the hlt. I use propane and element together to get to proper HLT temp. Once the proper HLT temp is reached, the propane is not used. I use propane to reach MLT temps. 1. Heat 9 gallons water in HLT to proper temp to...

I do this every time!!

I use 100 grams of DME per liter. I only boil for 5-10 minutes with most of that time with a lid on the pot. I start with just over the needed amount of water to end with the desired amount to make a two liter, three liter or four liter starter.

I will try an s-lock.

I have read many posts where people have a good bit of starsan sucked back into the fermentor when the temp drops. I took a picture of my fermentor with just a five degree drop in temp. This morning the temp was 48 degrees and this afternoon the temp had dropped 5 degrees and the starscan was...

I just noticed EJay posted a link to the DIY beer gun.

I have perlicks too and have taken a short piece of 1/2 in. silicon tubing (about 6 inches) and piece of clear thick wall tubing that fits snugly into the silicon tubing (about 6 inches). This clear tubing will fit into a bottle. The silicon tubing then fits snugly onto the perlick. I reduce...

I ran the gas line through the edge of the door and mounted the manifold on the inside of the door. Here is a picture of the outside.

I had the gas line enter the side edge of the door and mounted the manifold on the inside of the door.

I can only address part of question 3. I have five gallon kegs that are almost always primed with corn sugar and I normally seal the keg with only 10 psi then back them down to 5 psi. That may not take as much of your co2 cartridges. Many people on this board will tell you that the co2...

Thanks!

I put 5 ice packs in at the time.

Here is a picture at the campsite. It works great. I have 10 ice packs that were from different shipments we have received. Beer is nice and cold with an outside temperature of 80-85 degrees.

That's great!

I got the nipple at keg connection if that is what your are referring to.
