    Immersion chiller 50' coil height?

    It might be a little taller than your pot but big deal. Extra height won't hurt. Just cover the whole rig with sanitized foil and chill on brother chill on!!

    Need Help With Brutus 10 Gas System conversion

    BOYS AND GIRLS, MOMS AND DADS, WE HAVE IGNITION!! We now have more than adequate gas flow. These flames are with the valves about 1/4 the way open. Full open sends up a 3 ft. high flame on all three burners at once!! Even the late model Blue Rhino tank I have works if I turn on the ball...

    Need Help With Brutus 10 Gas System conversion

    I bought a two stage Benzomatic regulator with POL connection from Lowes today and rigged it to the propane tank then hooked that to the 20' of gastite piping.

    According to other sources, the holes in these 69 jets will be too large for propane. Are there any other suggestions.

    Need Help With Brutus 10 Gas System conversion

    The hose is a "gastight" 3/4" hose. I was under the impression that natural gas jet's holes on these burners were even larger than the jets used for low pressure propane. ?? Could I hook up this 3/4" flexible gas hose to my "house" propane and get enough gas volume to power the burners, and if...

    Need Help With Brutus 10 Gas System conversion

    I bought a Brutus 10 system thru Craig's list. Guy had built his brew system using Natural gas jet burners. I only have access to either "house" propane, which I believe from my research is 11" WC (low pressure), or of course, bottled propane. The rack has 120v solenoid valves like these...

    Evil Mold Infection or Kinky Yeast Party?

    I drank the hydrometer test beer and it tasted OK to me. No OBVIOUS strange flavors but I'm certainly not an expert in what it should taste like. Hydrometer reading was supposed to be 1.012, this read between the 1.012 & 1.014 marks.

    Evil Mold Infection or Kinky Yeast Party?

    Is this a common thing to see? I've only done two other batches, both with Safeale 05, and neither had anything like this below the surface line.

    Evil Mold Infection or Kinky Yeast Party?

    Howdy Folks, Newby here. I've much enjoyed reading and learning from this forum. It's been very helpful in this new endeavor of mine. Today I racked and bottled my third batch, a Blue Moon Clone, extract version, Safebrew 58 dry yeast. It's been in primary for 20 days at around 60 to 64...
