If you think you have a leak, put some soapy water in a spray bottle, and give it a squirt and check for bubbles.

I'm going from extract w/grains to all grain. :rockin: I'm trying to decide if I want to spend the money on a grain mill. My HB store is Midwest supplies. They usually have the best price, and great customer service (in my experience). But I've never ordered an all grain recipe from them. Can...

I can't find the cooler locally, otherwise I would have done just that.

Thanks guys, as far as converting my coolers, I was just going to purchase something like this: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/kewler-kitz-basic-conversion-brass-with-1-2-barb.html would those work?

Hey guys, I tried searching for these questions, couldn't find them... So, I've been doing some research on equipment to buy and what not (I already have a turkey burner, and a 7.5 gallon pot) and I'm thinking of using two coolers. I'm thinking of buying a Coleman xtreme 70 qt cooler to...

I would do a search for swamp coolers

i wouldnt do anything till primary fermentation is complete, and i know for sure its complete.

well as far as i know, its the same in the swamp cooler and it is, out in the air... as far as how hot is too hot..check out wyeast website, and check your yeast temp.

still pretty new at this, so take this with a grain of of salt but as i understand it.... #1) inside the fermenter its 5-10 degrees warmer than ambient... #2) depends on the yeast you used, each yeast as it own temp range, but normally for an ale yeast below 60 is too cold.

It might be a little more concentrated, but i doubt you will be able to tell any difference!

found this add on craigslist, this guy is selling what he calls a "kegerator kit" here is what he sent me, when i asked what all he was selling: "a domestic coupler going to a dual gauge which has temp and psi that goes to the co2 tank connector. All red hoses and in good shape. The faucet...

one of those tools makes it super easy to get your lid off, well worth the money!
