It confuses me how it came to this. Probably some colonial taxation thing... Imp. gallon = 4 Imp. quart US gallon = 4 US quart Imp. quart = 2 Imp pint US quart = 2 US pint so far so good... now it starts to break down. Imp pint = 20 Imp. oz. US pint = 16 US oz. 1US oz. = 1.041...

is your clothes dryer in your basement? Unplug your dryer and use that plug when you brew, then plug it back in when you are done so that your wife doesn't get upset with you.

fill the pump and siphon hose that you wish to use with freshly boiled or distilled water (water with star-san also works) and have the outlet from your pump closed with a valve or clamp on the hose. This way the pump is pre-primed. when you are ready to drain your kettle insert the pickup...

definitely useless for brewing. they are air driven flojet brand pumps. however, you can use them to dispense your beer. If you want to put a beer tower some distance away from your beer fridge and use a glycol chilled trunkline you will need a dispense pressure higher than 18psi and will...

And with a second float switch positioned higher in you HLT you could wire up a circuit through an icecube relay or similar connected to a water solenoid valve (flip the float switch over so that it breaks the circuit when it lifts). push a button on a momentary switch to initiate a fill cycle...

From what I've read I also concluded that this would theoretically work, but I'm not even convinced that I should try it. I also am very sensitive to diacetyl, in fact there are a few local microbrew beers that are quite popular that I don't have a stomache (tongue) for since I can taste...

+1 to WY1056 I bought 1 pack and am on my 5th beer from it.2 IPAs, an Alt, a Christmas ale, and I've got the yeast ready for another IPA very versatile. I selected it on the advise of a local brewmaster who told me that it is a common "house yeast" for miocrobreweries or brewpubs

This is my first alt. fermented at 62F for 2 weeks. racked into cornies held at 44F for 1 week, then dropped to 40F for 1 week ( I was cautious with my fridge because I had some previuos issues with freezing beer) wyeast 1056 american ale (harvested from previous beer) - not so good at 40F I...

I built an all copper counter-current chiller for my second brew (the first one was done with a friend's immersion chiller) I used it for 4 batches before I got a salvaged stainless 40 plate chiller for free from work. Plate chiller works more effectively and I can clean it aggressively with...

If you have an equilibrium of 15psi in the headspace balanced with the gas dissolved in the liquid. Then 15psi pressure is required to keep the gas in the beer. when you crack the cap on a plastic pop bottle you can see the bubbles immediately nucleate and come rushing to the surface because...

1. don't have any DME so even with the labour involved it was quicker than going to the homebrew shop 2. homebrew shop is closed well before 9:00pm on a thursday 3. I needed to get a starter going for a planned saturday brew day, but I have a 15 mo. old boy and am too scattered to remember...

Sure. I had this in mind... http://www.ebay.com/itm/CR-Horizontal-Tank-Liquid-Float-Switch-Water-Level-Sensor-Stainless-Steel-/281015089869?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item416dcdfacd ... or this...

there is an exception that comes to mind (as in I am using 24V elsewhere). I am planning on using a 240V heating element for my HLT, but I would also like to use a bulkhead mounted stainless steel float switch as protection for my heating element if the water level gets too low. My intention is...

Not too many answers from north of the border! I live in Vancouver, B.C. and there are a lot of great local breweries near here, but if I had to choose 1 I would have to say The Yaletown Brewing Company. Iann Hill makes many well balanced beers, but his passion is the sours, and I love his Oud...

I see that you just replied to my thread. Are we the only 2 on the forum right now?

what is your pouring temperature? what type of keg (corny or sankey)? how much headspace was in the keg when you applied 30 PSI of pressure? what temperature did you carbonate at? what type of equipment have you tapped with? (length and type/size of tubing, type of faucet, etc.) I work...

has anyone tried this. I have it on the go right now but I'm not sure how well it will work. I put my pressure cooker on high with 2 Litres of water and brought it up to about 65 dec C (154F) I milled about 470 grams (just over 1 Lb) of grain, and put it in a hop sock and dropped that...
