I'm struggling to understand exactly how many camlocks I need to purchase for my setup. Any and all help is appreciated. I have a three vessel system, a little giant pump (which hasn't arrived yet), and a counter flow chiller. I'm assuming I need male ends on my MT, HLT, and boil pot. My...

I just want to make sure this is what I'm wanting, any help is appreciated. The link is below. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LITTLE-GIANT-TE-3-MD-HC-581604-2-Piece-Unit-1-25-HP-Magnetic-Drive-Pump-5D-/120850841790?pt=BI_Pumps&hash=item1c234580be#ht_1008wt_905

Decided today to add the second tap handle to my fridge. Drilled a second hole in the side of the fridge and hit a copper line. Based on my research since that point, the fridge is pretty well done for, poop. To my question. I have a full corny keg full of beer with no way of keeping it...

I guess I should also mention the full keg has been pressurized if that makes any difference. Thanks for the help.

Sorry Step Bro, I was nervous. please forgive

Thanks for the advice, question for the future. Assuming my CO2 sits outside of my fridge, where should that hole be placed? I guess I just got lucky with my first tap handle hole and the CO2 line hole that I put through the side of the fridge. Any additional advice is appreciated.

Well I haven't seen the bags and my buddy isn't a homebrew guy. He has helped me with one batch, but I have to assume he knows the difference between grain and hops???? I hope:fro:

A friend received the following hops: nugget, zeus, brewers gold and 70 (not sure what that means). Sounds like he has app. 1/4 pound of each type. We plan to brew a 10 gallon batch but may split the wort into two five gallon boils. We are planning to brew later this week and are looking...

Ok I'm new to the scence 2 all grains under my belt. My question is can I use this grain bill, only upping the quantities, to do a parti-glye with the big beer being a barley wine and the smaller beer being an IPA? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for this information, your response is a big help. Again this board is awesome, much appreciated

Ace, if I'm hearing you right lets say I use the 50/50 method add 163 degree water to my mash tun, then add the grains let them sit for 60 minutes. What temperature in general should my mash out water be? Do I drain the initial three gallons before adding the mashout water or leave it in the...

Thanks for the responses so far, color of the wort is a caramel color, wasn't alarming to me by sight last night similar to the color of last week's batch. Next question, should I just throw this batch of beer out? Is it worth trying to ferment at this low of potential alcohol?
