Interesting.... I've always assumed they are NPT. You learn something new everyday.....all

Anyone know where I can find some poppet assemblies for pin lock posts? They seem to be difficulty to find. Thx!

Here's a pic..

Idk... Could be. I never have use any citrus or anything like that before. I have use rye before in a rye IPA but not as much and it was clear. Maybe a combo of both.

I brewed a Brut IPA and it just wouldn't drop clear. If it were a NEIPA... It would be a beautiful beer with the color, brightness, etc... However the intent was a Brut with high clarity. Here's the bill... 10lb 2 row 5lb pils 1lb flaked rye Some hops to bitter (36 ibu) 5oz key lime juice in the...

Awesome smarf.... Exactly what I'm looking for! The wealth of knowledge and info here is amazing to say the least. I may see if I can come up with a question no one can answer. Not likely huh? Everyone has opinions! Thx again man (or mannette... Shouldn't assume)

Im using cornies. Regarding the connection issue I had, I found a fitting on Amazon for like $5 that connects to the beer thread coming out of the tower and transitions to a hose Barb. Couldn't be an easier fix. Now I just need to figure out the stupid fan. I don't think that's gonna be as easy.

2nd question.... This thing's fan is loud AF. Any ideas on what I can do to get it quieter? I suppose I could replace it with a new fan. Idk where to or what kind I should get . It runs continuously... I suppose because it is a commercial type, and probably meant for serving during parties or...

Perfect... Thx Bobby.. much appreciated

I stumbled accross a steal for a commercial kegerator over the weekend... Does anyone know what kind of thread is on the beer line? It looks like 3/4" pipe MPT but not for sure. Is it typically a standard size? I was hoping I could reduce it down with regular NPT pipe fittings to connect to a corny.

Thanks for all the replies... Y'all have certainly given me plenty of things to think about! I have some bad info entered in my equipment profile, i.e. kettle volume, trub loss etc., Which I think has impacted the calculated boil volume which is on the low side. So from the beginning it looks...

I use Beer Smith. Basically I put in the ingredients to get to the profile I want. I'm guessing my equipment profile is jacked up somewhere. -I mill my grain and I think I get a pretty good crush... 2 roller mill set to the finest crush -I mash in a bag, no sparge but i hang the bag and squeeze...

So I lurk a lot here and try to pick up on nuggets here and there. I've been home brewing regularly for about a year now... All grain BIAB. I can't get decent efficiency, I always come up short on volume...am I boiling too long, is it my hydrometer, refractometer, do I just suck at conversion...

Amazing build.... So jealous! An Atlanta United fan too.... Great taste!
