    Hunt for a better 1/2" bulkhead plug

    I seem to be able to find some better looking plug covers for the smaller thermometer style holes like the pics below but all of the larger bulkhead covers seem to be just ugly hex head style. Anyone seen a more stylish plug?

    Sweet stout - Stalled or user error?

    Hello all, Could really use your help. I wanted to try the 2016 Homebrew con winning Girl Scout Sweet stout for relatives this holiday. I followed the recipe and my FG has now settled at approx 1.026. The recipe calls for 1.018 so I thought maybe it's stalled. I checked back at Beersmith and...

    Texas Peltier Cooling set up for Conical

    Here are some pics from Stouts website. I had some pics of my set up but looks like they might have gotten lost in the change over. Fair disclosure here in that it says it's designed for Stout tanks only with a diameter of 11.8 inches. Having said that if your tank has the same diameter I...

    Texas Peltier Cooling set up for Conical

    I stand corrected as there are three additional chips. Also you can reverse the polarity on these and they go from cooling to heating.

    Texas Peltier Cooling set up for Conical

    Fan side is flat, conical side is contoured to match the arc of the conical perfectly. There are two chips on the block and I believe another two still in the box. If that’s not correct I will reply with the correct number when I get home.

    Texas Peltier Cooling set up for Conical

    I have a 12.5 Gallon Conical and the previous owner had created a peltier cooling set up for it. I have a fridge for it and do not need this. The parts alone are worth about $100 and then you need a power supply, temp controller and to do all the wirring. I'll sell for $60 + shipping for...

    Water filter upgrade - Can I add on an RO membrane?

    Thanks so much for the help! As far as the carbon block filter would you recommend the same 5 micron or different size? Same question I guess with the sediment - is 1 micron more preferable? Lastly I am likely to only use this for brewing water. Should I store the filters dry between uses or...

    Stout conical fermenter 12.5 G - Easy upgrade

    This is what I have been doing lately. Beer transferred to conical around 80 degrees. Then I set the fridge for 66 and when the beer gets there I do a dump and then pitch. Lately I have been waiting for fermentation to be complete and then open valve with yeast catcher jar and cold crash...

    Stout conical fermenter 12.5 G - Easy upgrade

    Please let me know if that works for you as that is very close to the one I have, just the 3" body version instead of 4. I was told that pumping slower or feeding by gravity was the best way to use it. Unfortunately I always seem to be in a hurry at the end of a brew day and try to pump too...

    Stout conical fermenter 12.5 G - Easy upgrade

    What is your current filter set up? Pretty disappointed in what I have in that I am using a hop spider, trub trapper and an inline filter. Inline filter gets clogged halfway through. Perhaps I am not whirlpooling long enough.

    Water filter upgrade - Can I add on an RO membrane?

    Could use some recommendations on upgrading my filter. I currently have a 3 stage filter - pic attached - that has a 5 micron sediment, 5 micron granular carbon and 5 micron carbon block filter. I sent in a water test and found I still have high sodium levels so I was thinking about adding on...

    Stout conical fermenter 12.5 G - Easy upgrade

    Had a Homer Simpson DOH moment the other day. I was considering upgrading to a newer conical with a wider dump port as I have had trouble with yeast dumps. I usually have to use co2 and do some burst pressurizing to get the yeast to dump when it's been sitting for a while. As I was cleaning...
