As far as I can tell it's two ingredients. My life sucks because I'm always at some kind of store buying this thing or that thing. So, when I see what I need I just throw it in the cart. So it's not to much a hassle for me. I got a 3# tub of Oxiclean Free for $5. I got 2 one pound bags...

thank you for the replies. I'll be sticking to the 2 to 1 oxiclean free and red devil. I wanna keep the pH high.

So, I'm ordering the ingredients to mix up some of this and got to thinking. About, how the pH is really what get's the cleaning done. So, I spent sometime on google and from what I can find PBW's pH should be around 12. Now here's the dangerous part, "I got to thinking". Wouldn't adding 7th...

I'm interested in the 2 probe version. I also can not find it on the Amazon store or web site.

I found mine here in classified forum. Cost me around $40 bucks it has been worth every penny. Bottling/canning is no longer a large pain in the a$$. Just a small pain in the a$$ but worth it.

I use my Blichmann beer gun. My process is exactly the same way I do bottles. I've had zero indacations of any oxidation. I've got a year old barely wine that is spectacular. The cans have seem to have held the carbonation better then the year old bottles.

Aday, That's the exact controller I would by if I where trying to keep to a budget.

You don't need a controller on the pump. Most electric brewers run the pump for the entire mash. So a simple on/off switch will suffice. Monitored with temp probe at the exit of the MLT. I run my HLT 2 degrees higher then my desired mash temp and recirculate for the entire mash. If your...

I can think of a few reasons to not use them. First, you said "all in one". So you plan to boil in this vessel. I the highest setting I've ever seen on a hot water heater is 160F. Most of the ones, I've seen are 150F max setting. So mashing you are good but, no mash out or boiling temps...

I have a 5k BTU unit running in a 4x3x3 box with 1.5" foam insulation. Wrapped with 1/4 particle board, making the internal closer to 3.66'x2.66'x2.66'. So, my dimensions are even smaller than yours. I'm controlling mine with an Inkbird ITC-308. I lager at 42 all the time. I've never had...

I've had mine for about 18 months now. I've found that my beers have aged very well in cans. I can not tell the difference between bottle and cans so I'd say about the same as bottles. I use my beer gun just like I do with bottles. Fill can with co2, pump beer in, hit the gas button right on...

Canning is really starting to grow on me. I've found some very interesting uses for canned beverages! Bottle of bourbon - 20 dollars 2 liter of Coke - 2 dollars Can Sealer - 350 dollars Cans - .30 cents each The look on your golf buddies faces when they have been waiting for the drink cart for...

Blichmann's customer service is top notch. I'd shoot them an email explaining what the issue is. I have no doubt they will fix or replace it at no cost.

Is this what you are looking for? They come in 1.5" and 2". Edit: I see Cool-hand beat me to it. I'll leave it up anyway. Camlock Male to 2'' Triclover Adapter

Day_Trippr is right. Instant sanitation on the chiller parts that gets submerged in the boiling wort. I think anytime between 5-15 minutes is more than sufficient. I whirlpool so I have always been afraid of the parts of the chiller that don't get submerged. I want to have enough time for...

My keg will not seal until I tighten the wing nut. The wing nut and plate apply force on the gasket to seal the keg. When the keg is empty I let of the pressure by loosing the wing nut. Looking at your pictures, I think some one tried to fix your keg at some point. Your PRV hole looks...

I'm with Bobby-M. The magnet on the motor shaft should free spin very easily with the housing off. It being "tight and ruff" sure sounds like the bearings are the issue. First I'd check the fan blades to make sure none are hitting the housing. Chugger has a video show how to do this with a...

I had a pH meter go wonky on me once. I added 18ml of acid instead of 6. I know! That's a lot and believe me you can taste it for sure. First batch of beer I had to toss in a very long time. I'd check your finished beer pH. Depending on the style of beer anything in the 3 pH range will...

Y'all are correct. Pineapples are very acidic 3-4 pH range. If you finished beer is around the 4.5-4.6 pH range then adding 7.5 pounds of pineapple puree will for sure lower the pH to the point where the beer will taste very acidic. If I were adding that much pineapple, I would watch my water...

How long did you mash for? IMO 142 is way to low for a full mash. You are just at the gelatinizing temperature (142-149). A rest of 15-30 minutes at 142 is fine but at some point you have to get the mash hotter if you want it to covert. Starch molecules are insoluble in colder water. For...
