I'm trying but it's all still confusing for me I think I have the ability to make whatever I need. My major problem is I'm more of a hands on learner not a reader apparently. To start out I'm going to work on getting the keggle done then I will have to start moving on to trying to make the...

or cut it up and scrap it. That amount of stainless can get you alot of ingredients equipment etc...

I still have a ton a research to do, but are there any heating elements that don't run on 220v. I only have a 100 amp service in my house and I don't think I can dedicate another 220 outlet due to all the other crap I have running. Right now I'm just working on the virgin kegs because for the...

I'm not hating I'd love to use heating elements if they work good. How long does it take to get and keep a rolling boil with 12 gallons of wort? I'm searching so many things right now that some of the info is getting lost in the mix. I know most of the elements use 1 inch npt threads and they...

He made it certain that all the fittings are stainless. I don't have alot of info on the stuff because I talked to the guy for about 2 minutes. He lives next to my good friends parents so I'm twice removed from the situation. My friend let me know that he works at a VOTECH and thats where he got...

Everything is threaded mostly with half couplers. I'm really confused as to what I can do with the bungs on the bottom. When I was first looking for kegs I was hoping to direct fire the mashtun. I can explore using heating elements but I don't want to wait forever to get it to a boil. Another...

To be honest I have no idea what system would be best. The fittings are in wierd spots. They are all 1 inch and the welds and everything are solid. Another note is that 2 with all the fittings on them have the tops cut off as well. I would like to go in the direction that allows me to use these...

So I've been putting my feelers out to everyone I know to get some empty kegs so I can make the jump to 10 gallon batches. So to my surprise a friend came through huge. The guy said he was going to do a RIMS system with these kegs and I figured I'd ask other opinions as to what I can do with...

I usually soak the tubing in a bucket full of cleaning soultion. I use the auto-siphon so a few pumps gets is going through the siphon. I simply keep pumpin cleaner though the siphon and back into the bucket until it runs clean enough for me. Hope that helps

x1000 if you like belgians yeast flavor they will be great at that temp. As posted before a Saison would be great and probably still ready before it gets cold if that's a problem

plastic<glass I don't think the fod grade fermenters impart anything different to the beer, but I do think it make a difference. I also think the containers used for fermenting are better quality thus leaving no side effects. This all being said I have a mindset that glass is better but I still...

more good info he beat me to some info it's hard to drink and typ at the same time. I started typing 10 mins ago

A starter basically gives you a better chance of having the correct amount of yeast to properly eat the sugar in the wort. You may be OK using no stater if your beer is under 1.040(maybe) A good tool to use is Mr Malty and check the pitching calculator it will tell you what you need either using...

I'm not worried that my beer is going to be ruined just caught by surprise a little when I saw a little flec on the side if the flask, then a hour later or so the brown gunk started. I don't think I burnt the sugar but anything is possible. I did use a different pot to boil my starter and it...

I'm not so worried about infection or anything like that(fingers crossed) I made a starter this morning with 3/4 cup of wheat DME, WLP410, and a little over a liter of water. I've had some krausen before but this one is kinda funky. I don't know where this dark color is coming from and was...

X2 This happened to me and it was just some dry yeast stuck in the neck and they started to look like they were rehydrated. There were some that couldv'e looked like mold but everything came out fine

I think I'm going to go with the NB false bottom with the dip tube. Searching through mcmaster I was able to find a 1/2" NPT to 3/8 OD tubing compression fitting so I won't have to go crazy finding stuff. Now the next qusetion is down the line would there be any benefit to me putting a false...

So I am able to get my hands a few kegs pretty cheap so I'm gonna make the jump to 10 gallon batches. First is the boil kettle I want to put on all the bells and whistles. So I've ordered some stainless fittings and I'm going to drill 3 holes to get a thermometer, spigot and sight tube. the...

I had what I hope to be one of my last extract batches to do so I went ahead on a beautiful day and brewed it up. Everything seem to go very well. I piched a decanted starter of dark DME and White Labs abbey ale yeast(wlp530). At around 3 pm I pitched the yeast aerated and put it in its new...
