I have the 52 qrt. as a mash-tun and it works quite well. I am getting high 70's -low 80's effiecincy fly sparging - but have been playing with serveral variables this year. Let me know if you want a pic on how I made the manifold fit into the drain groove. Cheers.

Same thing with me...I lost well over 15% for my first few boils...and then lost more due to the trub......after 6 AGs, I have finally figured out all my equipment. Ease off on the full gas when you start to boil, and you should be fine. Cheers.

Use 2 cheap drill bits: The poor man's gauge. 1/32" = 0.03125 3/64" = 0.04688 1/16" = 0.0625 .....etc. Cheers.

Rogue dead guy ale...and i get a second guess since you ordered 2 pints....Reissdorf Kolsch ???

Good one ! Cheers

Check out the review section of this forum - I recommended Clone Brews. Cheers.

Go for it - no problem at all using these. I even reuse the caps. I have been doing this off and on for over 15 yrs. without a problem. Cheers.

If you are talking about priming and adding to plastic bottles - yes, I do it all the time. I really never had a beer last more than 8 months....I did detect a slight loss of pressure after about 7-8 months, but no big deal. Cheers.

Two words: Lazarus Brewing. Cheers.

Thanks for the replies. Boo Boo - It is sweet and I made almost the exact recipe and ended with an Fg of 1.012. I think I'll leave it for another week and may add more yeast from a starter if need be. I am glad I have some cultured WY 2272 in my fridge. Welcome aboard Old Farmer ...

I was kinda thinking the same thing:if it ain't broke - leave it be. The yeast was : 2272 North American Lager Thanks.

Tip: Make sure the chiller can fit into your pot. A 50' may actually stick out above the beer level - depending on the dimensions of your pot/kettle. Also, if space is tight, a larger chiller may overflow the pot - or prevent you from whirlpooling. But, all things considered - bigger is...

Ok, OG: 1.050 -expected FG of 1.012 using same ingredients/yeast/temps as last batch. Primary: 2 weeks @ 50F. I don't really lager - just primary and secondary @ about 50 and 45 F for a total of 4-5 weeks. Heres the scenario: I racked into secondary after giving a diacetyl rest for...

I had a similar problem a while ago...I just served into plastic beer cups that were translucent. Nobody knew the difference. :-) Cheers.

Thanks ! I think I'll check it out. Cheers.

Hey, I will be in Orlando with inlaws in the first week of September. Can anyone recommend a LBHS or brew place to check out whilst down south. Cheers.

Ya, I had a wyeast smack pack that was a year past the best before date....gave it a smack..nothing for 4 days, the it took off. I have used this yeast for 3 beers (recultured) this year. As HB 99 said, give it at 4-5 days before giving up on it. I was about to throw it out - but then saw it...

I have never used one, although had some beers from people who have. I found the beers ok - but that may not be the BOP's fault. When picking up some supplies, I found 3-4 of these places tried to sell the fact that their equipment was the secret to making good beer. I also found that some of...

Ya, did u try moving the mouse around? Cheers,

No...it was dead after the last strike...and this is just some more odour from it. Cheers.
