    Siphon Pump Foam

    By the end of the keg fill I had a few inches of foam flow over the lid. The line looked foamy only on the discharge side nice full hose on suction side.

    Siphon Pump Foam

    Recently picked up a super sucker antigravity siphon pump, and it works pretty good with water, cleaner, and sanitizer but as soon as I started sucking beer with it to move it from the fermenter to the keg I get foam on the discharge. Prior I ran cleaner, water, & Starsan through without issue...

    Cellarscience Baja Experiences

    I also had a negative experience with Baja. I made a light lager with 20% maize & 10% flaked wheat og of 1.045 pitched 4 packs in 12 gallon batch. Chilled to 58f pitched yeast set temperature control to 51 and had 2 day lag so I bumped it to 55 and held for 6 days then increased a few degrees...

    Poor Man's CO2 Manifold?

    I do something similar to your drawing the only time I’ve gotten beer in the line is when I had a leaking prv on one keg lid. I disconnected the line to remove the keg and fix it but forgot to disconnect the pressurized keg prior to connecting to the fixed one, not to mention the pressurized...

    Ever Seen Or Used This?

    Ever Seen Or Used This?

    I actually made some flat bread things with them in the cast iron skillet and it was great! May not mess with for brewing but thought I would check with the collective.

    Ever Seen Or Used This?

    Might not be a bad alternative to flaked corn or cereal mashing corn meal in CAP & such, but maybe not. What do you think?

    California Common

    I’ve been reading up on Cali Common recently and after reading a couple articles & post, I’ve started wondering how close our modern versions & guidelines come to the ordinals in regards to ingredients. Please share your opinions & info.

    Man I always thought I was smelling H2S.

    Sulfur Dioxide In Malt?

    So I went to my local hbs and picked up my usual 55 lbs of GW Pils malt then took it home and broke it down into 10 lbs as usual. By the way for those who may not know 1 gallon ziplock bags will hold 5lbs of malt and 2 gallons will comfortably hold 10. Anyway I noticed on the bag when I went...

    Duda / Plate Chiller Initial Test

    Guessing you have experience with these. Do you know what they are?

    Duda / Plate Chiller Initial Test

    Yeah not really worried about looks as long as interior is working properly. I fear leaks in places I can see😬 particularly if chilled water was combining with my wort. Disclaimer I might be hyper paranoid when it comes to my brewing!

    Duda / Plate Chiller Initial Test

    Not sure but went to the Duda site and looked at a pick and noticed something similar on their site pic.

    Duda / Plate Chiller Initial Test

    Decide to go back to a plate chiller so I got a new one from Duda Diesel. I’m thinking I would feel better using it for the first time if I pressure test it or leak tested it. One of a few reasons I would like to do this is because it shows some strange circular & oval marks on the bottom...

    Flaked Grains Freshness?

    I have a 5lbs bag of flaked maize in a big ziplock that developed a small hole large enough to leak a handful of flakes in the cardboard box it was stored in. I don’t think it been this way long, maybe a week. This got me thinking how or is there a way to determine if flaked grains like rice...
