I have several (11) new Flojet Model N5000-192 Beverage (syrup) pumps. CO2 or Dry Compressed air operated 20-80PSI. For sale or trade, although I'm more looking to sell, but if you have something you are wanting to get rid of hit me up. retail on these is $45+, I'm willing to go down to $30...

I second the building of one. I saw some good ones on youtube last night as well.

Maybe you dont like Dunkel and/or its just not fully carbed? Weizens do require a good meausure of carbonation to balance out the sweet/maltiness. As stated malto isn't sweet like other sugars, and it certainly wont prevent a beer from carbonating provided the simpler sugars are there for the...

the longer you wait, the more will settle out. Also, minimizing the amount of trub that reaches the primary fermenter helps overall, as does careful racking to your bottling vessel. you will still have sediment in the bottom of the bottle 1/16 of an inch is good in my opinion, more than that and...

My understanding is the opposite deg Linter is the Diastatic power of the malt, the darker the roast the lower the malts ability to convert itself to simpler sugar. 40 deg Linter is where you want your total grain bill to be in order to efficiently convert. Darker roasts have little and...

It just takes time.. before I ever brewed and was just scratching the surface I was thinking DME meant dark malt extract and LME meant light.. then I figured out DME is dry malt extract and LME is liquid. In my opinion it helps to understand how it works, not just that it works as well...

When you do add it to prior to bottling, be sure to mix it carefully into the beer, some folks claim racking on top is enough, but I personally like to stir it up to make sure I'm getting even distribution.

Looks like its letting go of some gas, wont hurt to wait a day or two and recheck the gravity I suppose.

Just did the mod, mine was slightly different. Should have taken pictures I guess, but a little tinkering got it together. Removed the thermocouple and the timer junk out of the box leaving it empty so that my burner is a little more supported. +1 to the Original poster on this, helpful for...

I like this idea, I would not like having to move 20 gallons of liquid though.

It will taste weird however I like to taste it any time I'm getting a gravity sample just to see how things change over time and take note of it, may not be the recommended process for everyone, but it is mine. Example Taste wort before adding yeast after getting OG Taste wort around two weeks...

well, there may be yeast in suspension you cannot see with the naked eye. Also, did you refrigerate your sample? Refrigeration will help the CO2 force itself back into the liquid, giving better carbonation. I usually test one at 1 week, one at 2 weeks and one at 3 weeks. The biggest difference...

seems like you should be able to find a bag that would work somewhere. If you don't plan on using it.. and want to devote it to science, brew a pale with what it came with, and see how it turns out, if you make a starter with the yeast, they might come back to life, and it would certainly be of...

Was trying to help, but for whatever reason the url's break when you post them. I have no idea, but if the beer is good, then no harms done!

Went to Sams with SWMBO and to my surprise she let me pick up a turkey fryer, 36qt version, same as all the other cheapies with the timer/safety stuff (to be bypassed before use) I got to thinking about the belgian strong golden ale extract kit I have sitting around and ran the numbers...

Quoted for truth.

I cycle back and forth, usually in the warmer parts of the year i'm all about hops, then as it starts to cool off in the fall, I lean more toward hearty, less hoppy brews.

With a funny username, I have three that produce just that with devastating frequency.

My understanding is that as along as you don't mar the surface to the point where you cannot sanitize it properly and it becomes unusable functionally it might out live you. I suppose your mileage may vary though. If you're at all like I am, I'd probably determine a set number of batches I...
