I also recirc. the boiling wort from the kettle starting at about 15-20 until flame out. It goes from a clear silacone tube from the boil kettle up into the in side of the pump, thru the out side and into my Shirron plate chiller, then back into the boil kettle. I can see it cavitating due to...

YEah, look at the brewingnetwork's page. They have a show that did a clone of Moose Drool. Awsome stuff. Or try the Janets Brown Ale in Jamils book. McDole made up a great recipe in that one. Ender

I'm in Atlanta for training right now. As usually happens I find the best place a day or two before I leave. Just found out about Taco Mac in midtown. It has 140 beers on tap and atleast double that in bottles. Man! And its on the Marta line from the airport!

I agree, just use the 1.020 wort. It's a little low, but the yeast wont mind. To figure out the gravity numbers use this from Ray Daniels book: Begining gravity * begining volume = Ending gravity * ending volume so in your example: 20*2=X*40 so X=40/40 or 1 gallon you can use this...

I think this is a great idea for local people. I wouldnt trust any shipping comapny to get a frozen sample to you still frozen. That being said, shipping slants is the much better way to go.

ever see the picture of the maggots in Jamils kegs? Now I think they sat too long. But really pepsi has been in them forever and a day before we get them. Oxi works like a champ

yeah, take alook at that recipe. Also take a listen to the Jamil show podcast on the same style. In it he talks about stouts with lager yeasts at warmer temps

Very Nice! Glad it worked out. Looks tasty

Yup, I do it all the time. Dont even need to take out the restictor plate, although I do. I think the stout faucets are just like forward sealing faucets. At least mine have never gotten stuck.

Did you brew this yet? I'm in CMH and have some magnum on hand if you want to swap. I just did the stone IPA from byo on Saturday night. Lemme know,

I've got no idea what is wrong then. It has to be something with the carbonation of the keg. I dont know what happens if it's over carb'd. From what you've said it's around 2.4 volumes of Co2? It should be around 1.3 volumse I think. Maybe this has something to do with how fast it is...

JP, You dont need to carb it on beer gas to get it to work. I have a bitter that I brewed a few weeks ago and had it in the fridge at 36F w/ 5psi on it. Reading this thread made me dig out my other stout faucet and hook it up. Started out w/ 40psi w/ the beer gas and didn't get the cascaed...

I cant remember what the serving pressure I used for my beers. Never had a stout on Nitro at home. Done pale ales and bitters. I do remember messing with the pressure on the beer gas tank to get the right cascade pour, but cant remember what the final setting was. I actually dont think there...

Hey JP, just saw this post. I'm assuming this is the faucet we traded for. I know it worked on mine. I did pretty much the same as you, except for carbing in the fridge, not at room temp. I've got a couple of querstions: 1. When you pour the beer from the stout tap is there any head at...

Just looked on Hopsdirect and they've got Styrian Goldings. Been waiting for this. Ordered up a pound, but noticed on the order page that it said they were from th UK. Called up Hopsdirect and they confirmed that was a typo and they are from Slovenia. Said they would get it fixed soon. Ender

pour off the wort ontop of the "yeast cake" pput it in a hydro sampleer and take a reading. If it's lower then 1.035, it did its thing. If not, throw somemore wort on it.

I use non waxed dental floss tied to the SS chain. Thin enough not to make it lose pressure and strong enought to hold it. Although I hate those tea ball things. Pellets leak out like there is not tomorrow!

The ball valve might be your problem, but maybe not. I know my ball valve sits right near the flame and gets very hot. I'm not sure if bad bacteria can survive in that type of environment. I have never taken apart my ball valve or coupler anc cleaned it out. I use a homemade "Hop Taco"...

This yeast, when it was released last time got me a first place in the National Homebrewing, first round.for Ord. Bitter. Made it to the minibest of show in the second round, but didnt place. Oh well. Also got me a first place in our clubs British Beer Fest for Ord. Bitter. I still have...

Thats the truth! Our club prez had 10 kegs rupture last year due to freezing. It has to be hard and fast for the most part though. Right now I have an IPA sitting outside using natures cold chest. thats 40.018 -83.010 for those of you that need a drink! Other than the risk of freezing...
