Ok I have the three piece in now. I have some extra tubing I'm gonna check to see if it's the right size. Thanks for all the info guys. By the way what would cause a crazy fermentation like that. This was my first all grain batch and first time using liquid yeast compared to the dry packets...

Well that was a close I swear I though the kid was coming with the air lock!!! I have never had a fermentation like this before. Wish I had it in my Carboy to watch. Quick question is the flurry of thing when I got the new airlock is a few drops of water and sanitizer went down the tube into the...

I brewed a IPA Saturday I just got home and the foam is coming up out of my airlock, it's a 6.5 gallon bucket with like. 4.75 gallons that went in, I'm afraid it's gonna blow, is it alright if I pull the airlock out and out a different one in, the top of the bucket is very stiff like its ready...

Good point Kevin in Cleveland, addicted to brewing

Great thank you for the info, sorry for the delayed response. That chart is great!!! Kevin in Cleveland, addicted to brewing

One more stupid question i didn't see on that thread. In the event I don't destroy my first couple of all grain 5g batches and want to go big at 10 gal, could you use two tuns? I mean by splitting your total grain bill between two different tuns and spar gig each to the same kettle? I bought two...

Great thank you for the info, Kevin in Cleveland, addicted to brewing

Evening everyone! I just made myself a 10 gallon mashtun and my 16 gallon kettle will be here tomorrow. Since this will be my first all grain batch would I be able to do a 5 gallon batch in equipment this big or is it to big of dead space in the mashtun and kettle? Kevin in Cleveland, addicted...

Great, thank you guys, gonna jump on the snowmobile and head up to grab some of those kits with the flat washers in them as no one carries the fender's around here. I'm also going to get a different o-ring. I'm not please with the quality of the one I got at home depot originally.

Why are people using fender washers for their conversion instead of flat washers? I cant find fender washers anywhere around here, only flat

Question for you guys. I see all of the instructions people say to use 5/8" SS fender washers, why use the fender washer as opposed to the flat washer? Isn't the diameter of the inter hold really all that matters? Debating if I'm going to order fenders online or decide to brave it in this...

Hate to say it but they ran all over that team

As my wife is pumping I read this her and the look if disgust was just priceless

Ok so I'm at two weeks in the primary as of this second I just took my first hydro and with temp correction I'm at 1.020. The FG should be 1.016-1.019 so I'm not there just yet but darn close. It smells and taste pretty damn good already. I need to dry hop this with some more FF hops. I still...

Figured that would cause oxidation good thing I asked prior to thinking I was smarter :-) thanks for the info

I brewed that as my first batch and had the same issue, rinsed with 1 gallon but ended up with a low OG from what it called for but not much. It's in the bottles now we'll see how it goes in about a month

Question for ya, when racking tithe secondary can you use a funnel with screen filter to try to weed any extra sediment out? Not sure if this would cause any type of oxidation problems. Going to be racking my Falconers flight so I can dry hop it this weekend. May wait some extra time though as I...

I do know it will get better with additional time in the bottles and especially if I chill it for a few days in the fridge before drinking. However my concern is that half the bottle seems to have something on the inside and the other half does not. I can't be something from the light as they...

Ok so this has been bottle conditioning for 5 days now (Belgian saison). I couldn't resist the urge to pop one open and see if it is carbonating. I got good carbonation going and a good head. However, it smells skunky to me. Also I noticed on the bottles that half the bottle seems hazy and the...

Ha funny story, I've been calling it latitude 43 and just actually looked at a bottle and its latitude 48, a duh
