Bulkhead adapter: Shanks

I tried those same disconnects and had slow leaks I could never find and gave up on them after it drained my co2 tank the 3rd time. Now I use these...

Part of the fun of this hobby for me is the DIY aspect. So I built my own stirplate a few times over the past decade or so. My latest and greatest version uses an AC shaded pole fan motor, some big rare earth magnets and a ssd fan speed controller. I even made it so I can daisy chain other stir...

Hobby beekeeper here... Filtering just means it's passed through a mesh filter to extract just the liquid honey leaving any bits of wax or bee parts behind. It will still be full of local pollen. Any liquid honey you see in a jar had been filtered this way. Sometimes people heat the honey for...

Like brewswithshoes I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled the cover off my 3 prong dryer outlet and discovered there was a 4th (ground) wire already run but not attached to anything. I simply switched out to a 4 prong outlet and added a pigtail to ground the metal outlet box. I built my own...

I would like a code please.

I'll take a code. I'm in the United States.

That will be something I'll test when I'm running the water trial. The temp probe is about 3 inches from the dip tube and about 6 inches from the recirculating arm. The wort will be pumped in a counter-clockwise direction which means the wort sampled will be be right before it hits the...

Just finished putting this together. I've been slowly working on it for 8 months now, but life got in the way (including buying and moving into a new house). Found some time this weekend to get the last bits pieced together. Will do a mock run with water learn the system and get more familiar...

I just placed an order with Auber for the parts to build a similar BIAB kit. I did the price comparison between getting the kit and buying the parts individually and found the kit to be $30-50 more expensive depending on what modifications you make. For example, I'll be running only one pump so...

I brew exclusively with BIAB and have made barleywines and other big beers before with my system. Basically, once you know the max. capacity of your system (how much grain and water you can get in there without overflowing), you can either: 1) substitute extract to make up for any remaining base...
