Going to ask this again, someone out there has to have the answer. Does anyone know what the size of or industry standard size call out is for the faucet to shank gaskets? I'm ordering the internal O rings, and want to get these as well, since I'm already paying for shipping. (Perlick 525ss)

Thanks for the quick reply, but I should have been more specific as to I am looking for the industry standard size, so I can order it from an O-ring supply website like theoringstore.com I will be ordering several different sizes in larger quantities, (like lifetime supply). For example the...

looking for a gasket/oring number or size for this square section gasket. Rebuilding my 525ss taps. Have the other internal sizes, #014 Qty. 2 and #204 Qty. 1. Someone has to have found a compatible size for the shank gasket.

All I did was shake the pack well, snip a corner, and pour it into 6 equal amounts, nothing more. Then when you go to pitch, just take one out shake it up, and pitch. The containers are shown in my second pic in the post.

Sunday, opened a 3.38oz pack of Omega Hornindal, separated it into 6 Tupperware containers, roughly 1/2 oz each. This probably got me 1tsp pure yeast in each vial. Brewed a 1.062 beer, added 3tsp yeast nutrient, pitched one vial of the yeast around 75 degrees. 14 hours later I checked on it...

I think it is $100 more including the mash re-circulation pump + accessories, by looking at the great fermentation's website .

Thanks, Punching in my grains for a typical pale beer to EZ_Water, It looks like I can go up to 5-6oz, acid malt to get me around 5.38-5.4. This keeps me under their recommended 3% ceiling for acid malt addition. I hadn't brewed in over 2 years, don't know if my water has changed some, or...

Historically I haven't adjusted water/mash at all. Going forward, I am going to make some adjustments. In my above #9 post, I show a couple screen shots from EZ_water, and what I will likely try at first. The 3oz acidulated malt was supposed to bring my mash PH to 5.49 per EZ_water spreadsheet.

So you're in Akron Ohio, your profile says from Clinton. Would that be Clinton Ia. Clinton Ia. Would be doable for me, Akron unfortunately is a bit to far, otherwise I would be in my truck tomorrow to get this. :yes:

Crap, I saw Altoona, figured I would buy it, but then saw Pennsylvania, not Altoona iowa. :(

Finally following up, (pet peeve of mine when people don't follow up on posts). I added some Calcium Chloride solution to a glass of beer, and it helped. So, just went ahead and added 5g of granules to a cup off water, added it to the keg, shook well. Results, noticeable improvement, but...

For future brews, here is my water. Dilute 50%, add 2.5g gypsum, and 6g Calcium Chloride, I end up here. mash with 3oz Acidulated Malt

I'm going to give it a try tonight in a glass, I have some Calcium Chloride liquid from cheese making, and will give that a try. If it helps, I will dose the keg with some. I also found I have High Magnesium, which I can't do anything about except dilute my water from here on out, which I was...

SO, I have been having an issue with my beers, and decided it has to be due to my water. Darker beers with less hops, not as noticeable, but hop forward IPA/APA it became a huge issue. These beers have loads of late addition hops, along with a 60m bittering addition, finished beers have been...

Put an ounce of corriander and the zest of a few oranges in a tea ball and drop that in the keg for a week or so. It should help.
