2 Xtream colmane One the HLT and the other the mash tun with a 15 inch 3/4 shark bite attached to a 3/4 barb

The heater hose braid stopped the wort from filtering. I pulled it off and cleaned it and i still had problems Finally had to give up on it and used a power supply cable management mesh tube and some copper coiled up to hold it open.

Had problems with SS braid and am afraid to try again and copper is so expensive

No, was think more along the lines of this

Anyone ever think of using a fuel tank sediment filter for a mash tun filter or know if they make them from ss

Well I guess I should say first beer brewing a disaster as I have not tried extract brewing. Anyway I spent countless hours researching how to all grain brew and build a Mash Tun and bought a Coleman Xtream with all the fitting and water heater hose for the filter. I also built a sparge...

Did you rack as soon as the fruit dropped to the bottom Or did you leave it. I have some 2 month old JAO I tasted a week ago and seems like it is well on its way. Follow recipe to a T with exception of adding Madagascar vanilla bean. (Hoping for a slight orange cream cycles taste)

Sorry, I started at 1.056. Your thoughts do seem relevant. I never considered the alcohol levels shocking the yeast. Off the top of my head I going to guess the ABV at around 5%. If I give it time, will the yeast recover.

I did something crazy a couple of weeks ago and want to get a little input on what I did and if I ruined my brew. I have been brewing 5 gallon of fresh cider with Nottingham and 2 cups sugar since the beginning of October and it has gotten very dry. I decide I wanted to make it a little...

I think your right and a key step to insuring that some unlucky person does not get hurt. I don't think It should be recommended to anyone unless they can somehow suspend the bottles.

Well they stopped bursting and I still have both eyes. Not sure what was going on but ever since I lowered the temp and double burner, everything has been good. Just finishing my last batch and crossing my fingers that fermentation has stopped. Guessing that my thermometer is wrong and the...

Going to try 10 degrees lower and see what happens.

I just started pasteurizing my first cider this morning. Bottles have just the right amount of carbonation and are ready to go. Once the water temp reached 190F I placed 7 bottles in the water for 10 min . With 2 minutes to go in the first batch I here a crash in the kitchen. When I go to check...

I starting to feel a cold shoulder here. This is the second post in a row that no one has answered. Maybe its me.

If you want to bottle now and have carbonation you have to pasteurize which I will be doing in 3 days I have a cider that fermented out most of the sugar @ 1.005. I back sweetened it and brought the FG back up to 1.020.I bottled last night and will have to pasteurize in a couple days because...

It a tasty cloudy cider.... That's right folks, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Ahhh, who am I kidding It looks like crap.... Not sure what happened but I cold crashed it for 3 days in my fridge and it still looks like a wheat beer if you did not know better.(Nice Amber color) The...

I have two carboys of cider going right now. The second carboy has seem to accelerated it fermentation period. I'm not sure why and was wondering if anyone can pin point what I did to accelerate the second carboy. It has only been a week and a half and the krausen fell yesterday which prompted...

Did you need to grab new rings for it

Asked twice now for a code. Quess I have to buy at Amazon.

Something just clicked and I see the light now. The sugar levels depend on what kind of cider you want and there is no wrong or right.
