    Steam Heating Methodology

    Sounds quite complicated to me. I use a steam injection system but I do not superheat my steam. I can raise my mash temperature from 150f to 200f in five minutes (tested this in water only so as not to ruin any mash with high temps.). I do get water hammer but its of no concern. With these...

    Co2 refills in MINUTES

    Airgas and Nexair exchange your cylinders so 'their' tank is not an issue. They will charge you for a hydro on the tank since the one you have (may get) is expired. Probly in the neighborhood of 25 - 50 bucks for the hydro.

    CO2 Fill Stations in CT?

    I'm not in CT but I had to go to a place that does fire extinguishing systems to get my CO2 filled. The CO2 is all the same stuff. I was concerned that there was a 'food grade' CO2 but the guy at this place who was very knowledgeable and friendly ensured me that this was not the case as he...

    Nitrogen in a CO2 tank?

    I have been reading up on this lately. I have yet to finish my research but what I have found so far suggests that you can mix the two gasses in one cylinder and use a CO2 tank and regulator with this 'beer gas' mix. There are alot of adds out there for 'mixers' which combine the two gasses...

    Wine gunk in borrowed carboy...how to clean?

    If I'm not too late to chime in here... I have used PBW for the first time in the past couple of days cleaning the corny's I am about to put into my 'home brew service'. I am really impressed with this stuff. I don't have experience with a wide variety like the san star or others since I...

    AG Clarity

    The boil does affect this. Hot break and cold break are both formed in the kettle (unless you have a counter flow chiller, then its just outside...). My understanding is the rate of cool down (faster is better) aids in causing the coagulation of protiens (cold break) which can easily be left...

    CPBF or straight from tap?

    This is a question for tnLandSailor more than anything but maybe others would like to see the answer or chime in... TN, you mentioned that you got rid of your CPBF and bottle straight from the tap now. I will be getting to this point soon as my first batch I will keg is now in primary. I...

    Keg Parts list, need help....

    I just got all my equipment similar to your outfit. The only thing I could add would be the corny keg o-rings. You may have this taken care of already. I bought eight corny kegs and only half as many o-ring sets figuring some of them would be in good shape. Well, after dismantling all my...

    Sanke Tap - whats the difference between both

    I have the top version I used to use on my 'bud light' :cross: . Works fine. As one of the previous post mentioned, the bottom view would tell which style keg it would work on.

    Hen's Teeth Received

    I got my perlicks in last week. Trust me, I searched for the vent matics before going this route. The company told me themselves that they were a month out from having them. They were currently looking for a new manufacturing faciltiy who would make them up to their specification. Well, I'm...

    Cheap all-grain equipment

    Just note that the keg 'rackers' is selling does not have the welded couplings. If your comparing apples to apples, sabco sells that for $60. Yes rackers is a better price and it is for a good cause but just note that if you want the welded couplings, you will not be getting exactly what you...

    quick question

    Four sessions from the standard BBQ pit size tank... bout to get me a larger propane tank. Even still, I will keep one for backup and return the other to service on the BBQ (I have two regular size now).

    Getting the shaft

    Wow, wish I had seen that post a week ago about micromatic... I could have saved about 40 bucks over morebeer (bought three of them). Well, guess shipping may have reduced the savings a bit. I bought three stainless shanks. The thing I did like about those at morebeer is they had the...

    Oxy Barrier Caps

    Dig through this as you like... 1)Subject: Oxy-cap sanitaion I had reported what a person at one manufacturer of oxygen scavenging caps had told me. Al K says, "Secondly, this goes against what the lead engineer of the original oxygen-absorbing caps told me personally (on the phone). He...

    Bottles stored at 80 degrees

    Lowes didn't carry it and would only order it if I got a large quantity. I found it in Memphis TN. at a place called 'Drew Foam'. Not that this will help you find yours but just to point out that it isn't your ordinary store stock. This was a place that specialized in insulating goods for...

    Cheap all-grain equipment

    If you are in the range of 10-15 gallon pots and don't plan on doing it yourself, buy a converted keg from Sabco at about 100 bucks (and my shipping was 20 bucks). Compared to large stainless pots you may find elsewhere, this is a good deal. They have the nipples welded on them (one full and...

    Air filter question

    They should be replaced 'once a year' anyway (given 'normal usage' which I would say is 12 batches a year) and at their cheap price, just replace it and remove any concern you may have. I have no factual backing but I would think that the fine weave of these filters would be damaged by submersion.

    Faucet selection... opinions needed

    I got a reply from ventmatic.... They say 30 days out. I spoke to someone at more beer and when I told him what they said, he replied with '*Sigh* another excuse/delay. They keep putting it off again and again'. He also said that they were currently getting different manuafacturers to...
