Not an American but nevertheless remembered, my grandfathers brothers who flew in the Battle of Britain, one of whom bailed out into the channel, and the other who was killed in a dogfight. One of their names is on a memorial in Kent, the other is remembered only by us. And a thought for the...

Buy yourself a three way valve or two

5 gallons of Conan powered pale ale. 9561

I'm pretty sure they're still making it. Sadly the Burton Union strain bit the dust though, that was a good one

I brewed a mosaic/Amarillo/simcoe version this evening. Golden promise, wheat, oats, a tiny touch of C55 and the same amount of honey malt. 2:1 Cl:SO4, 150ppm Cl. Got a pitch of Yeast Bay Conan spinning on the stir plate, five and a bit gallons in the bucket in the ferm chamber chilling down to...

Some recent updates on this: I've done a couple of test brews looking for a good substitute for the seasonally available WLP006, and have found what so far seems like a good step-in in Mangrove Jack's M03 Newcastle Dark Ale yeast. This yeast has a reputation for being a low attenuating strain...

5 gallons of British brown ale experiment 9157

You're aware that some of those power tube pins have 500V on them right? It sounds like you have some bad connections to the heater pins on the power tubes of wiggling them made the preamp tube heaters come back on. However if you aren't confident working with high voltage DC power supplies...

Amazon is a terrible environment for sellers and for small volume specialty products it's pretty much never worth the effort.

I just ordered two regular SS intertaps from aliexpress this morning along with a growler filler and two stout spouts. A little bit cheaper than ordering from brewpump, the biggest difference is the shipping charge for each separate line item. I'll post back when they arrive I'm looking forward...

There's a reason that appearance is only three points on the BJCP score...

All of the craft breweries which I have visited near me either oxygenate or aerate their wort going into the fermenters, some even taking pains to explain what the point is. None of these guys have their own yeast labs, with the exception of one. As much as we know that large scale brewing...

I've got oatmeal stout on tap at the moment. Perfect in hot weather or cold.

I have a vague plan to get a couple of NPT to triclamp adapters made up and install a butterfly valve. I'll probably buy a stainless conical first though, while the FF is awesome for the price spending more than the purchase prices on triclamp hardware for it would be silly

Hi from the triangle

I have used that much Cl before with great success, but I get it all from calcium chloride, I don't add canning salt as it pushes up the sodium, and my tap water comes with about 25ppm sodium already so I don't want to add any more to hoppy beers.

Well the rep itched Hansen took off like a rocket. Maybe the blend is out of kilter and one of the faster strains came to dominate. Who knows. Nevertheless the pale ale brewed yesterday is ripping along right now.

Ok. If you still have it on Friday color me interested

5 gallons of session IPA 8316.5

Brewed. Discovered that the HLT element is leaking again. Decided that from now on I'll either be using the RIMS tube as an on demand heater, or switch to cold water sparging. Then after pulling the RTD from the HLT I decided to run ice water through the chiller using the HLT, filled the HLT...
