    Illuminated Maintained Pushbutton Switch

    If you call Auber and ask them to put the switch in a small envelope, they will ship it for 1.99. That is how I got mine.

    Recirculation pump stops working when heat applied to MLT

    I have been direct firing my mashtun and continuously recirculating it for almost 10 years now. It does work and the sky doesn't fall; at least not in Wisconsin. I do use a false bottom to suspend the mash off the bottom of my 15 gallon Polarware kettle (scorching). I do throttle the pump...

    Sour Beers - Remaining Questions

    First, I don't have citations. But I do have around 11 years of Brett, all Brett and sour experience. Second, I'm not a big funk head. That being said, I have found pressure (stress) to be a very effective means to manipulate (increase) the level of funk. I brewed a 1 gallon all brett and...

    Jaded Brewing Chiller Build

    If it doesn't leak; it will chill very fast. BUT, the time saved chilling will be spent cleaning it. I have since left that road.

    Calculating Bicarbonate and Carbonate

    Much appreciated, thanks for your time and effort. As for the slide rule (retro math) thing, I taught my granddaughter how to use one last year. She thought it was cool and took it to school and ended up teaching her very young teacher how to use it. Now, if I could convince her mother she...

    Prison Pruno

    I ran across this while doing some research for another subject matter; brewing can't get anymore extreme. This struck a cord in me since a couple of friends and I man camp in the U.P. once a summer. Its usually 10 or 14 days and we always brew a one gallon batch of ale. We brew with only...

    grassy 2013 Amarillo hops

    I brewed 4 batches of APA and IPA from my one pound package of 2013 Amarillo leaf; it's not grassy for me. I would say check your process. For me, I get grass from long dry hopping. I never liked that flavor. I have been Torpedoing for about a year and a half and would not go back. I converted a...

    Frozen March Pump - not the head

    Look through the cooling slots and check if wort has gotten into the motor windings and armature? If so, take it apart and rinse it out; then let it dry very well.

    Dry Hopping Science

    TORPEDO! Sierra Nevada incorporates this process. I modified a whole house filter to include ball lock fittings. I use a spare march pump to recirculate the wort in a freshly kegged beer. I have been doing this for the past year and can confirm one day is sufficient. I use a spare keg with ~one...
