This is the fitting. G5/8 at one end to connect the beer line. It’s the end that connects to the defoamer/beer tap.

Hi guys. Does anyone know the size of collar that fits the shank to connect this de foamer to the shank. Thanks.

I would do it on one contactor with a n/o and an n/c so when you turn the switch it flip flops from one to the other.

Thanks for the reply. You pay £900 for a chiller and get no instructions. I have sorted it out now. The pdf download instructions are very vague. It was a damaged cable going from the chiller to the fermenter.

I have a grainfather glycol chiller that I bought about 1 months ago. Im having a problem getting the chiller to chill 2 fermenters. I have only used it on one until recently. It won’t chill 2. I have tried everything. Wont chill on 1,3 or 4 there is no fluid circulating. No 2 chills great. Any...

Well guys another 10 days and this Lager is turning out to be great. I don’t know that much about brewing Lager but I do know when it tastes good. I brewed the exact same recipe a few months ago and it took me eight weeks to get to this stage because This time I used Novalager and aN air stone...

Sorry I don’t know. I have only been brewing for a year and this is my 3rd attempt at Lager, so I’m still learning about different yeast etc.

Hi I did add wheat for head retention. Thanks for the help info on water additions. I have sent a water sample to the lab for analysis. I made this beer once before and it turned out great. I didn’t want to change the brew because I used the Novalager yeast and wanted to see if it turned out as...

Hi guys this is the recipe I brewed with the Novalager. Please advise me on what you think.

The Numbers came out bang on OG1.046 FG1.010. The haze is clearing slowly but it tastes great already. The Hersbrucker hops could be stronger. They may come through with age. I think my main problem is I kegged from fermenter to Corny and with the dip tube going to the bottom I have to wait for...

It tastes great it’s only 10 day’s old needs more time to clear.
