Thanks to another user I have some (probably) good news, and a question. @BBBF sent me a link to an auction for two of these faucets. I made an offer, they accepted, and here we are: For some reason one of the spouts was cut off at an angle. Not entirely sure why, and I can't find out what it...

Following the link in post #4, the TRUpour fonts seem to have the nitro variant installed, but that's about it. The "Related Products" links to the standard edition. Don't these people realize that homebrewers, and the craft beer industry as a whole, like shiny objects? C'mon, Multiplex - get...

It's been a little over two years, and I'm bringing this one back. We bought a house and I'm finally getting the brewery set up after more than a year and a half! The built-in "beverage cooler" in the kitchen died, and we just replaced it with a kegerator; I had to promise the wife that it...

Thanks fellas! I knew I was overthinking it.

Oops, never mind the inline valves: "Designed for use with liquids, not suitable for air and vacuum applications." Any other options, or just skip it altogether?

While most people who use a propane regulator (~0.5 psi) use it as a cask aspirator, I'm initially planning to use one to provide a low-pressure blanket of CO2 during cold crashing and lagering to prevent suckback. However, my question is valid for both uses: do I need some sort of check valve...

Thanks for that! Works like a charm!

Any chance these deals will return for Cyber Monday? I didn't see this thread, and only checked the Amazon prices in the morning. Completely missed the sale! Doh!

I don't have a brew pic yet. I still haven't been able to set up my brewery in our new house yet, but I'm working on it, and I need a controller for my DIY glycol system!

I know this is an older thread, but it's relevant to my current needs. I need help bypassing all the digital stuff. I have a vague idea of which wires to cut, but want to be sure. Also, do I need the capacitor, or does that get bypassed as well? I can take more pics if necessary. Here's the...

I'm looking at building a glycol setup, and I keep seeing aquarium chillers on Ebay that have what look like modified STC-1000 controllers, but the temperature range is limited to 10°-50°C (50°-122°F). Has anyone had luck swapping out the stock controller with an STC-1000 or ITC-1000 for lower...

Welcome to the forum from Lakeville, PA. Are you a member of the Scranton Brewers' Guild? They have monthly meetings at Cooper's, as well as several events around the area including a competition. If you're not familiar with them, check 'em out. If you are a member, I've probably seen you...

I just kicked a keg of Brut IPA that was 100% Azacca. It gave me a ton of passionfruit and mango. It worked great as a standalone hop, but if you want a blend, I'd stick with tropical fruity, or maybe stone fruity hops. Never used Wai-Iti or Ekuanot, so I can't comment on them specifically.

For "malt character" in my IPAs without adding sweetness and crystal malt flavor I usually turn to Maris Otter as the main base malt, plus some Vienna or Munich. I personally don't like the taste of pairing tropical/fruity hops with any crystal darker than 40L (more like 20L), and usually in...

Whatever it is, it makes solid beer. I used it in a California Common last year, and may do another one this year, though I think it might be an interesting yeast for a Biere de Garde.

Do you have a CO2 tank that you can flush the hops, and then the fermenter after adding the hops? A 5# tank might be worth the purchase, even if you're not planning to start kegging any time soon. That way you can flush your fermenters, bottles, secondaries, or anything else that might come in...

I usually shoot for around 52-54 F for 7-10 days, then boost it 5 degrees a day up to 65 for a few days, then crash and keg. I rehydrate.

Because they use 'S-' with their other lager strains, S-23 and S-189.

It's my current favorite dry lager strain! It ferments fast and clean, and drops clear super quick. I've done two rauchbiers, a Vienna, a doppelbock, and a schwarzbier with it. I've read that it's tolerant of higher temps like 34/70, but I haven't tried that yet. Overall I'm really impressed...

When I built my kegerator I knew I wanted stainless hardware because it'll never wear out. All my shanks are stainless, all my faucets are stainless (Perlick & Intertap, all flow control), and now even my quick disconnects are stainless (~$15/each from Williams Brewing, occasionally on sale)...
