Perhaps. I add 1.5 oz to my pale ale toward the end of the boil (0.5 - 10 min, 0.5 - 5 min, 0.5 - 0 min). I don't dry hop though. Right now on tap I have a brown ale to which I added 1 oz at 5 min and it is crystal clear. puzzling.

What really confuses me is that all of my beers except my pale ales are crystal clear after a week in the keg.

Everytime I brew a pale beer (SRM 8 - 10) the beer is very cloudy for a few weeks, yet when I brew anything darker it is crystal clear within a week of being in the keg. I brew all my beers with S-04 yeast and tend to drink them very young - 1 week in the primary, 1 week in the keg, then...

Nylon is NSF approved.

I have the non-adjustable model and it is great. I get 68% efficiency nearly every batch.

Yes it's fine.

Cut the lines back to 5' and you will be fine. My kegerator works great without a blower pushing cold air into the tower. I get a little foam as soon as the tap opens but then its nothing but a beautiful pour.

Thanks. There is a good bit of conflicting info out there on FWH'ing. I have read that bitterness is equal to a 20 minute addition and when I tried it I did FWH in addition to my bittering hops and the beer wasn't "super" bitter.

This sounds pretty cool. Do you need to mash extra grain or just collect extra wort?

In Ray Daniels Designing Great Beers he quotes a brewing book from the mid 1800's saying that most Edinburgh brewers "put in the whole of the hops at the time when the wort is pumped into the copper." First Wort Hopping, right? Wouldnt this require much more hops to achieve the bitterness than...

Challenger is a great flavor / aroma hop that gives a very spicy aroma. I'd use it as a 10 minute addition to spice things up.

1 cup Maris Otter (crushed) = 4.5 oz, just checked as I prepare for my delicious porter. Now...get a scale!

I made a great Hefe about 6 weeks ago with the same grain bill listed by Mysterio. I used WLP 300 and fermented at about 68 degrees. Great bannana flavor and still good a month later in the keg.

I have them and they are great. I don't remember where online I got them, but plenty of places sell them. You need to wipe them with a cloth soaked in hot water to be able to read the volume (it makes the red stripe go white and it quickly changes red up to the liquid level). The other day I...

Get it welded in. I brought my weldless fitting and pot to a shop and the guy just about refused to only drill the pot out for me because he said the thing will leak. $40 later the nipple was welded in and I couldn't be happier.

Ive been brewing for 8 years now and I think one of the best ways to begin formulating your own recipes or figuring out what grains and hops to use is to read...a lot. A magazine like Brew Your Own is great because they have articles about different styles and include recipes that can help you...

The oxygen should be fine. I get my CO2 from a welding supplier. Plus, I don't think bacteria can survive in pure oxygen.

What's the harm in taking it apart? Disconnect the gas and open it up. Mine worked fine for a year then suddenly pressurized my keg to 30 psi. I opened it up and re-seated the diaphram inside and it works like new.

North Country Malt Supply can deliver a sack to me on Long Island for the same price I can buy it at the cheapest homebrew shop here. They have a great selection too.

Take it apart and check that nothing is broken inside.
