I have a perforated pizza pan on top of the grain bed. It does a pretty good job of spreading out the sparge water for an even rinse. Not perfect but pretty damn good. I do need to add some extra holes.

you want thin wall silicone. I have floating tubes from 2 different sources...one the tubing was notably thicker...which is preferable for any other application. but, the thicker stuff, when it's in it's "loop" or "dip", has more "force" pushing the float and tubing against the keg wall...this...

you should NEVER have hole on the side of your basket. You want the water to flow down thru the grain bed. Water always takes the path of least resistance. side holes just let it bypass the grain bed. get a roll of flashing (home depot) to place inside the basket if it has side holes. will...

why? A simple pour over, yes. but there are many methods

I just toss it all in the mash. I do wonder about the time factor though. My mash is about 10hours long...I let it go while at work so my actual brew session is shorter.

where is this place?

really the same regulator...just different valve fittings. they can be swapped.

If I google "nitro beer regulator" I get several pics of nipples with o-rings. But if you google CGA-580, which is the actual type valve on the nitro tanks...all the pictures are NO o-ring nipples. go figure... I'm sure either works fine. Just very strange. I have o-rings kits with...

I think next bottle I will try pure nitro. Just with a totally flat keg to start...ie 1.0 volumes of CO2. Should that flat keg be room temp or already cold crashed? Well, I guess at room temp it would actually have a wee bit of pressure per the carb charts. I think I started the current...

Well, got my nitro tank filled/swapped and was about to hook it back up... I noticed the nipple o-ring was damaged so decided to google a little to see what is the correct size o-ring for the CGA-580 nipple... Almost every CGA-580 fitting I came across has no o-ring and no o-ring groove...

really? my beer gas comes in CGA-580 bottles. CO2 regs are CGA-320.

I'm guessing 5ft lines are standard cause that's all that's physically needed to put a kegerator together. Companies aren't gonna spend money on 10ft if 5ft will reach. manufactures do the bare minimum a lot.

I don't think he has one. I thought he did when we previously talked a while back. But was chatting again this weekend and was in the back cold room with him...he didn't indicate or show me one. But that would explain the pure nitro bottle he had. But then again, he said he was using...

That's kinda what I thought. Supposedly nitro will not dissolve into the beer. As the volume in the keg drops and head space is filled with only nitrogen, the co2 will bleed out until co2 in the beer and headspace is equal again. The beer gas replaces the CO2 that is dispensed with the beer...

So, I was at a brewery I frequent and was talking with the owner/brewer about his nitro set up. He says he is serving his nitro beers on 100% nitrogen. Not 70/30 or 80/20 beer gas. I had to ask several times cause I thought it might just be "terminology" differences between us as to his...

I think about this a lot. I have a homemade 120V E-kettle. Mash is fine but takes time to ramp up to a boil. My boil off rate is 1/2 gal/hr...I'd like much higher so I can sparge more to boost my efficiency . You would need a way to deflect the flame/excessive heat from any electrical...

I would think you want to kick up the "banana" part of the hefe to balance the PB. Didn't Elvis like PB and banana sandwiches? Call it the Elvis Special?

I've only used peanut butter extract from LD Carlson, in the keg. I was wondering about if PB2 powder, likely after flameout or mixed into the fermenter would be similar, better or worse. What would 1oz of extract be in powder? 1:1 or what? Or make a tincture with PB2 powder and Everclear...

I think that if you read it the same way every time...it will be accurate for what you need. it's really about OG vs FG...
