    Stainless Plumbing

    As many I am sure, finding stainless can be difficult, especially at a good price. I think I found a good source. I ordered some parts, that no one else seemed to have. Not only were the prices great, but I had them in my hands within 4 days. Mind you on this order they made a mistake, but...

    building a brew stand and need some burner info please

    I will if can( probably have to upgrade). But in the meantime. Here is a verbal. Took 10 psi reg and attached to new longer hose. This hose had a 1/4" end. Simple fitting brass of course brought up to 3/8". I had to find aplace that sold 3/8" galvanized and bought a 22" section. It then gets...

    building a brew stand and need some burner info please

    I have the high pressure. Camp chef dropped the reg to 10psi, which reduced output, but when I crank them, the flame covers the bottom. I don't think going any hotter will help. I get water boiled, and wort boiled no problem. I'll get +10ºF a minute, starting at around 50ºF to boil is...

    building a brew stand and need some burner info please

    I have two 60k burners running of the same tank. The both use the same 10 psi reg that goes to 3/8" pipe. Then splits. Each burner has it's own needle valve. Both can run max output off the same tank without excessive tank cooling from expansion I did not use banjos. I has trouble figuring how...

    What happened to my stirplate?

    Spacer after reading again. Friction is killing your spin. Stack stuff, so you have a 1/4 gap or 1/2. I have the same problem with my larger stirbars. Either try a smaller one, or use spacers.

    What happened to my stirplate?

    Does the stirbar stick to both poles of the magnet. Does it lie flat or stand on end. You should be able to put stirbar right on magnet, start the thing up. If it flies of, not enough gauss (magnetic pull). The more material between magnet and bar, the harder it can be. Are you using the...

    Question regarding a better bottle and Potassium Metabisulfite

    My first thought is wine, not beer. I make both and use those for wine, not beer.

    copper contamination in wort

    Yeast will use that copper. Its post ferment that you want to keep away from copper. They did a study in California. The goal was to get all brewers to switch to SS. They took copper measurements pre-ferment, and compared to post ferment. No difference, needless to say if the state of CA...

    making my mashpaddle

    Red oak is porous. White oak is not. White oak is the preferred type of oak for use is fluids (coopering). You can't get red oak to seal with out help. In regard to a paddle, probably doesn't matter. I like the taste of white oak over red. Red oak, does have high tannic acids, which will...

    My efficiency is terrible.

    Finished volume is 5 gallons, but the total final boil volume is? This includes any absorbed by trub, hops etc. Usually in the range of .5 gallons. Do you final volume math with 5.5 and see where it is. I do all my 5 gallon recipes with a target of 6 gallons final volume in pot. That's...

    Pale Ale Recipe, I need some feedback on this one!

    Forgot, best outcomes have come with a 2l starter using one yeast pack. Mini beer is 1.040, spinning for 18 to 20 hours MAX. Distill, or direct pitch and allow for major blow out, like 1 quart!

    Pale Ale Recipe, I need some feedback on this one!

    I have to agree with the comments on too much specialty grain. For my APA's I use mostly 2row and specialty for color and mouthfeel. Wheat is great for body, crystal 60. Did a batch recently with only 2 row and a little amber malt. Came out great. For my APA. OG:1.062 @ 75% efficiency 6...

    Propane Tank and Regulator freezing up

    IMHO it sounds like the regulator is running too high. A too fast release of pressured gas causes cooling. I have two 60k burners running off one 10psi regulator. What type of regulator do you have

    Looking for a pump to replace my March 809 Pump

    Bosch told me the same thing about their dryer. I have changed the brushes twice. Not saying that is the thing, but if the motor doesn't turn at all? Well then no power to electromagnets, break in wire, or brushes not making contact. I doubt its the windings. But as said earlier, if it...
