12,487 + 10 = 12,497. That counts for the 10 gallons I've made so far, I'll be making another 5 tomorrow in honor of my past Mother, a wine and apple lover.

Today I used my brand new BoilerMaker set up for the first time, also my first all grain brew. How exciting! The mash went well, fly sparging seemed to work, my sparge arm didn't seem to want to spin, but I just kept flicking it, and that worked fine. But I ended up with almost 10 gallons...

So I recently purchased a set of Boilermaker kettles. One of the options is a Boil Kettle Strainer, shown here, And before I spend the 40 bucks, does anyone have any opinions about this thing? Thanks for the help.

BierMuncher your the man! It was your tip to use a hammer or something to tap the wrench to get it going. After much fiddling I was able to lodge an adjustable wrench on the out line, used a larger wrench to knock it loose! And now? THE BEER IS FLOWING!! :mug: :ban: So what was...

My only test was to clean and sanitize it, pushing the star san out the tap line, which seemed to work well enough, but maybe I only did that to the first keg... I just don't know anymore. Also, thanks to everyone for helping me with this.

Okay, so that brings up a new question. How the hell do I get the post/tube off? None of my wrenches fit.... Am I missing something?

Yes, I switched the taps from keg 1, and the same thing happened, keg 1 w/ tap 2 flowed very nice, and keg 2 w/ tap 1 doesn't.

How dangerous is that for the beer? Can I fix the keg and save the beer?

OK, I did this, even cranked the pressure up to 30PSI, lots of bubbling noise, then I put it all back and the keg moves a little easier but still nothing but a slow dribble and foam. How would I check the dip tube? I would have to have to put my arm in there and fool around with crap, but...

I recently set up a 2 keg system. 5lb Co2 tank. with a 2 way regulator. The first keg was set up 8 days ago, it worked great, I had carbonation on an IPA in 3 days and it is pouring very nicely now. 3 days ago I filled keg #2 and force carbed it. Today I tried to pull a drink from it...

It's more of an experiment. I have read a LOT of different opinions on the matter. So I just went ahead and did it. Split it into 3 equal parts, and one that was just a couple ounces, and tossed them all into a 275F oven. Pulled the first pan after about 25 minutes, pulled the second pan at...

That is why I am leaving off a pound so I can still get some conversion, Is that too little? I just got back from the shop, so Ive got my 3lbs, should I save off more than a pound for my minimash?

Ive been brewing now for about 8 months, I try to brew every weekend, but I've been away for a few weeks trying to set up my chest freezer. Im going to brew my first lager this weekend, A Maibock. And I'm very excited, and wanted to share. 6 Pounds Pilsen Malt Extract. 1 Pound Wheat...

I am also an apartment brewer. I'm in the basement and the only compliant I get is that on brew day I stink up the whole first floor, but everyone likes my beer, so it all works out. Luckily I have a big enough pot/small enough stove that I can get my boil going very nice over two burners.
