    Any idea of the effects of the drought on barley?

    There are two major factors that effect the price/demand for corn; ethanol and feed. While there would most definitely be an increase in price in barley from a decrease in supply, the increase would be linear and proportional to the actual amount of barley in the market rather than the...

    Portable RO Water Filters

    Can I hook that filter in your link up to a garden hose? And why do you recommend going 50/50? I'm a newb to using RO water for brewing but no stranger to water additions. Thanks in advance!:mug:

    Portable RO Water Filters

    How long does it take to yield 10 gallons on your system? And what's with wastewater with RO systems?

    Portable RO Water Filters

    I'm in the market for a portable, affordable RO water filter for my garage brewing setup. My 3-tier, vertical brew tree stand is almost done and I want to be able to build my water from scratch. I know that RO water filters are slow and I'm fine filtering the water I need before hand. My...

    Securing Black Iron Pipe Fittings-Weld?

    Great information...Thanks a bunch. I do have a question about your statement about not using tape for threads other than NPT. What about weldless bulkhead fittings? Aren't these straight threads?

    Securing Black Iron Pipe Fittings-Weld?

    Aha... Will the BIP thread fit the brass gas valves I bought? I think they are FIP. Or is it NPT?

    Securing Black Iron Pipe Fittings-Weld?

    Imagine something like this: Notice how the top elbow fitting needs to be aligned to a specific point in order to feed the burner. The same is true with the T fittings. What I'm concerned about is if my fitting is too loose to obtain this point. The alternative would be to "crank it...

    Securing Black Iron Pipe Fittings-Weld?

    I'm making a propane manifold for my three tier vertical brew tree. I need the fittings to be at certain angles in order to mount the burners in the spots that I need. I've never worked with BIP before and have read that you don't want to over tighten them. How do I get the "angles" I...

    Wild Yeast Infection

    What made you think you would only get 75% attenuation? -Two reasons...1.) The manufacturers rating of 70-75% and 2.) I mashed at 154 degrees with 10% Crystal Malt CO2 will come out if it is experiencing temperature swings. Is this beer in a temperature-controlled area or somewhere the...

    Wild Yeast Infection

    Crap, I think I may have a wild yeast infection. I used S-04 in a 1.060 brown ale. It's been 7 days and I just checked the gravity at 1.010. That's 83% attenuation so far when I was only expecting around 75% tops. The other thing is that the yeast hasn't really dropped out like S-04...

    Colorado Springs Water Report

    Thanks for posting this! I feel like it also fluctuates from year to year. I have a few recipes that I've been brewing for 3 years. I feel like my process and ingredients are extremely consistent but that my beers change from year to year. It may be in my head but I don't think...
