You have to light these pilots manually, either with a lighter or some other ignition source, once lit they will stay lit throughout your brew day (until you turn them off or run out of propane) and will fire your burners when they receive fuel.

Consider this a reply... fingers crossed!

Would this be a teaspoon in the mash or in the whole 10 gallons in my HLT of 80/20 water?

I live in San Diego and I am planning on brewing a Dry Irish Stout this weekend (in time for St. Patrick's day), and I have been messing around with the various water chemistry sheets and I believe I have a decent recipe. First off here are the SD and Dublin Profiles: (ppm) San Diego (Otay)...

Folding Corner

EDIT ... Nevermind, I see they are known as "bushings"... derrr. Where do you find the plugs to put a 1/4" NPT RTD Probe into a 1/2" NPT Tee? Did you tap a plug, or do they make the one with the 1/4" NPT inside? Thanks, Jeff

Hey Josh (or others running Brutuses) - I ordered 4" RTD probes planning on running them directly into the keggles, but now I'm realizing that for cleaning etc, that this might not be such a great idea. Should I just make an "extended tee" allowing for the extra length? Is there a QD that I...

I've got the iPhone... I have notification badges and I have no clue what they are notifying me of... anyone have an idea?

UserName: BigJefe Great site!

NorCal - If I lived near one I would... Although it would probably blacklist you from ever working at a microbrew if they saw it on your resume. HAHA

We have a winner.

Right, I got into accounting because it is something that comes pretty easily for me. I'm pretty talented in math, dig spreadsheets, and have some weird OCD when it comes to balance/symmetry (useful for reconciling and keeping debits and credits in order). When choosing a degree in accounting...

This is my impression as well... I'm not put off by shoveling and scrubbing for $8 an hour... I'm still relatively young, but the window of willing to accept minimum wage employment is quickly closing. I wouldn't expect to get a job at a brewery where they put me in charge of anything other...
