Attach 1/2" inch tubing directly to airlock down tube and put the other end in starsan.

If you have vigorous fermentation you will have a lower risk for infection.

In a corny yep, connector to hose to cup or bucket of sanitizer.

Sorry I misread, you were talking about hardware. I'm dumb:(

What size mash tun? A cooler works best and won't kill you:)

That book is way old, and the quality of extracts is way better now. Having said that you should look into other flaws in your process (ie boil time ect). That or get your kit from a more reputable source. For me, I look at process over ingredient quality for problems any day. Good luck

Tried to read all posts, but close is what most craft breweries get. They still over charge anyway. Rock on and make beer, you will get it. Good luck.

That's not yeast or hops, it's shame. SHAME I TELL YOU!

Immersion is usually not fast enough. Invest in a counter flow, it's a next level brewing maneuver. I made my own. The faster the better for the cold break. Your beer and your friends will thank you.

It's information. Any knowledge that makes you less ignorant is always a good thing.

Carbonic acid will go out in a few days with venting.

It depends on the type of flavor you want from the bean. Some will tell you to add in the boil or flame out, but when I add fruit and whole spices I put in secondary. Take a cup of beer from primary and bring to a boil. Cut the vanilla beans down the middle and throw them into the cup of beer...

Fruit flies are what we call vectors. If you want natural yeast there the ones, if not do better cleaning around the area.

Your pics are not working. Are the drums stainless steel?

Hmm, would the milled parts be light enough to open like the plastic ones?

Viva secondary!

If you want the flavor of the honey put it in on the secondary. Take a cup of beer out when you transfer and add that to the honey in a pan. Cook for about 15 min. Works perfect!
