How about looking at it from a different perspective... Top of the keggles just below ye ol arm pits... You can reach in and grab your dip tube.... then again don't let the neighbors see that action either....

If you don't like the sediment swished up in the beer, push it to a clean keg after some gelatin treatment. It only take a trip around the block to swish the sediment up in my cornies... yes 2 at minimum for camping... Camping = wonderful food and Wonderful Beer. Beer starts 10 AM...

Take a look at my write up... I love my fermenters with the bottling spigots installed... http://ipb.trainerfamily.net/pagesmith/4 The spigot makes kegging a dream... Read more on that here: http://ipb.trainerfamily.net/pagesmith/8

EF'n Wonderful! :rockin:

I find it just as easy to drop the IC in as I set up my mash.... I've burned my hoses about 3 times now... I have my little system rigged to help prevent this now... until next time.

I've been kicking htis one around for a while now.. I finally picked up the needed ingredients. I'll be using 2-row, 6-row and the flaked maize. My hops for 11 IBUs will be: Mt Hood @FWH Mt Hood @60 Mt Hood @5 (The Mt Hood's are home Grown...) Yeast I'm either doing Us-05 or...

Naval Jelly.... hadn't heard of this in years... This stuff is great. Never thought to use it on my keggles..

Maybe I'm playing with fire but in 2 years I've had zero issues... I rinse and oxy-clean my kegs after each use. I use the newer Bodenstatz technique. Once a year I remove the dip tube and do a deep cleaning. But each time I flush the dip tube during the cleaning process. Since they...

+1.080 to Bull... However for the mashtun if you are able to obtain a second keggle could be used as a mashtun and I've stuffed 34# of grain at 1.20:# ratio. My buddy brews in his garage and has a cheap wench. This allows him to move his burner around... PS Happy Birthday America!

That's probably right these are probably much more accurate than my old probes. One is 6 yrs old. When I picked up the new probes I did the crushed ice /water and they all read 32.... When introducing them to a boil... they were all fine. In repeating this today I see the digital...

Sorry but I've been drinking all night... I recently built a new boiler and added some couplings to the mash tun while at it... I added a half couling to the mash tun near the dip tube coupling. Using a blichman eng thermo for the first time... Normally I used a wlalymart digital thermo...

Shooter, have you been going through my garbage bins again?

Walker, that's most excellent info.. I'll be headed to Lowes for the faucet O-Rings from Danco..

Nope nothing supplied other than the brass ferrule. I'll look for the silicon 5/8 ID o-rings.. thanks

Got it... I'll hold out for some silicone ring then...just to be sure...

I'm building a new boiler and as such a new dip tube. I have several DT's but the nuts never come off and over a couple years there is a build up of crap at the joint.... I'm willing to try the o-ring solution here... I picked up 5/8 ID high temp o-rings at True Value. They said they were...

OK So what size o-rings are being supplied for a compression fitting of say 5/8 (copper dip tube) is 5/8 O.D.? I picked up 5/8 ID high temp o-rings at True Value. They said they were Buna-N for the material, I also picked up an HNBR o-ring but just read HNBR is another name for Buna-N. I...

Cat the other white meat.... Nice job on the brew room..

Now that you made it from an erector set... a real man would do it again 2 more times, once with Tinker Toys and again with Lincoln Logs...:mug:

I've checked the gap on my Crankandstein about 5x since I last set it. No change. I'm at .032 but I think I'm gonna go to .029 soon.
