    Bottom drain keggle & center inlet pump orientation question

    I've some some tri-clamp caps that are npt tapped. Any reason why I can't just connect my pumps directly to the bottom drain? Here is a horrible attempt at photoshop to get my point across. I am missing the tri-clamp caps but I think you will get the gist.

    Brewery Wiring Diagram, I need your thoughts!

    Ok, here is what I had a chance to sketch up this morning. I want to preface this by saying that I am not an electrician and I plan on having an electrician review my work before anything is turned on/plugged in or used. The Neutral Bus, 3 pole distribution block, SPST's, DPST's and SSR's...

    I noticed that Ken Schramm talked about adding honey when the initial vigorous fermentation slows. He mentions that he does not follow this method because he thinks that yeast cells are missing nutrients to aid in healthy yeast metabolism. Does anyone know which exact nutrients that he is...

    I'm overloaded with yeast (plus I have 2 packs of 1026 on its way) and I am interested in your ideas of what to brew next. For now I'm going to focus on the style to brew and then once we narrow that down I can start looking into recipes. Here is the yeast I have sitting in my fridge (this...

    Talk about a busy day!

    I racked and pressed 6 gallons of a Merlot and 6 gallons of a Cabernet Sauvignon. Then the head brewer of Schlafly Beer stopped by with 4 bushels of apples and we put my new homemade garbage disposal crusher to work. It didn't take long to build and ate thru apples and pears like there was...
