Sweet thx

Have u figured this out i have the same problem?

Can i see a picture of that I'd like to do that

I'm going to make another coffee porter. last time i put the coffee into the secondary as a dry hopping but was underwhelmed with the results. I thought I would try a tincture or cold extract this time. was wondering what amount of coffee you all were adding and what method per 5 gallon batch...

I like the way u think!

I think I just answered my own question: http://www.chicompany.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=376_17_16&products_id=3306 it's a bit pricey but all it seems to be is a male hose barb: with 3/8 inch od on one end and something with the right threading on the other. I could probably...

I've got some old faucets that i thought were Perlick but now that I look at them and pictures online I believe they are Vent Matic: there's not writing on them. Anybody know if there is a growler filler that fits into the nozzle that I can buy? Anybody own a growler filler that thinks it is...

thanks y'all for the tips. I've since said WTF and tried both methods: I made a Dark Saison recipe from the Mad Fermentationist and put currents in the keg with a sure screen dip tube along with sine soaked oak chips and to my surprise after sitting on it a month it didn't clog the out...

I was thinking of putting a sure screen on a dip tube and putting the fruit in the keg. I've done this with whole hops which works well but never with fruit. Anybody tried this? Does the fruit get too soggy when in rehydrates and gums up the sure screen or does it work? I was also...

I've got an SS half barrel conical and it leaks when I transfer around the lid. I can never get more than a pound of pressure into it to get it to transfer and it supposed to be able to take 3. It leaks around the seal at the lid. Today I came home after brewing yesterday and there was beer...

I am having some beer sent to be from crooked stave 375ml bottles and was wondering what kind of shipper would work for that and where I could order it online. I've put some searches in and haven't found the shipper that looks like it would work for that size bottle. Thanks,

Do I need to to rack off Roselare Blend or can I just throw it into a barrel on top of a beer and let it ferment and sour in the barrel? Is autolysis an issue? I've used Roselare before by using a barrel as a secondary but this time thinking of just putting the wort in the barrel this time...

I think he likely doesn't want to buy a controller

So my refractometer is acting screwing over the last couple batches. When I check it with water it reads correctly at 0, but the last couple times I took readings with a drop of wort it gave me a pre boil gravity of 13.5 Brix then post boil of 10.5 Brix. That jus isn't possible to loos gravity...

I recently used the Belgian Golden Ale yeast from white labs it has been fermenting for two weeks and pretty much done. I've cold crashed it for the past three days and the yeast is still not flocculating out. Any hints?
