1/2 more expensive, works faster, uses a lot more water. 3/8 is usually called refrigeration tubing - requires 1/4" fittings that are often tough to find.

They use flash pasteurization. Not sure if they stop fermentation really early, but my guess us they do it to be able to backsweaten without another fermentation. I'm curious what they back sweeten with - juice, sugar, wine conditioner, cherries???

Measured at 67 degrees. Pored into a wide shallow container (lots of surface area). "degassed" several times last night. Even poured back and forth to release the CO2. Seemed pretty flat this am but waited an additional 12 hours. Flat as a pancake tonight. It was interesting how the flavor...

Papermaker. Yes it's a real profession. Yes I went college for it. AND, yes it's an actual degree. Paper Science major with a minor in chemistry. Always found the advanced chemistry stuff tough. As far as brewing goes, I like to build, modify, create equipment and tools as much as I do...

I measured at room temp an hour or so after opening. But now you have me doing some scientific research.

Serendipity is nice too

Any ideas how to keep the sweetness? I am looking at brewing some thing similar tomorrow. Been researching for a few weeks. Not much our there for recipes. I measured the gravity on a bottle form this year and it came out at 1054. You think it's all "backsweetened" Doing two actual fementations...

Different yeast have different flocculation. Some can look kind of weird. I wouldn't get to concerned

Bobby, so you'd just put the barb over the copper tube, having the garden connection facing out? Good idea, but I could really use a couple 1/4" 90 elbows.

yep, you have a link or pictures to your build?

that wont fit 3/8" OD tubing

did you do this? it seems there isn't many fittings out there for 3/8 OD

The inside coil was nice, even and tight. The outside coil a little tougher. Would like to space each wrong on both coils so its more stable and less springy.

Can someone give me some pointers to help me space my "coils" on my immersion chiller.
