So I have a quick question about flow rates through the standard McMaster Carr Brass quick disconnects. I tried whirlpooling through a CFC with 3/8" copper tubing, and as many people have found it takes a LONG time. My setup is totally torn down right now or I would just test it, but my...

Has anyone just tried whirlpooling their wort for a couple of minutes manually before starting the recirc? Any idea if this would work?

When you recirc, how are you keeping hop material out of the plate chiller?

Trouble-Brewing, So you only have 1 in and then 1 out? Are you able to generate steam with this? The flash boiler that I've been looking at on other threads has 4, 1/4" smaller tubes tied into 1 larger water feed. Does this help with steam production or is it to increase throughput?

I would love to build one of these, but I can't weld? What other options do I have to connect the 1/4 Inch copper to the larger inlet and outlet pipes? Thanks in advance?

How do you keep hops out of that thing during the first few minutes of whirlpool?

Originally I think I said I wanted... 2 Bags Pils, 2 Bags 2-Row, and 1 Bag Red Wheat I'd like to change that to 15 Bags 2-Row 9 Bags Pils 4 Bags Red Wheat Any Idea when the order is going in?

So I don't have first hand experience, but I did just buy one. I found another thread where some other poster bought one. I sent him a PM asking about the throughput because I wanted to whirlpool through it. He said he does the same and absolutely loves it, so I pulled the trigger. Just as...

Lamarguy, So do you believe that the low temp in conjunction with the pressure was the cause for the increased Diacetyl. I understand the ester suppression idea, but not really the diacetyl production. More Pressure = Less esters Lower Temp = more Diacetyl? I'm not sure I fully...

I'm sure the answer is yes, but the 2-Row and Pilsner are fully modified right? I know there is a figure you can look at on the Malt Analysis but I forgot what it was. Also, does anyone know if the bags the malt comes in has a moisture barrier? Also, I'm getting the final numbers but my...

I don't mean to steal the thread, but Catt22 are you using a 3/8" copper CFC? What pump are you using?

Trying to get a clean way for the heating elements to seal in a keg is something that I struggled with for a while. I can't weld, and didn't like the instability of the lock nut on the inside method. Just this week I soldered my 1" lock nuts onto the outside of the keg. I don't have much...

I'm in for... 3 bags of Pilsner 3 bags of Pale 1 bag of Red Wheat I may add more once I hear back from 1 more guy I brew with

I just thank everyone on this thread for throwing this idea out there. It worked great. I built the tool listed on and earlier page and pulled a tapered coupler through some 7/8" holes and installed 5 couplers to my HLT. It went very smooth. I used standard lead free plumbing solder with...

So I've thought and read a ton on Whirlpool chilling to reduce DMS and get increased Hop Aroma. This makes a lot of sense to me. I have a couple of questions though. I've read that SMM stops being converted to DMS when the wort drops below 170 degrees, is that what everyone else believes...

I live in Denver and a couple of buddies of mine were talking about doing the same thing. Is it too late to get in on the order? If not, what brand of grain are we getting and who are we ordering from? I think between the 3 of us we would order somewhere around 400 lbs at least. When would I...

Ohio-Ed, I've noticed you are talking about have a 5500W element in both the HLT and BK and a 1500W RIMS heater? It seems like a handful of other folks on this thread are using a similar setup, but I don't quite get it. Do you have a coil in the HLT that you are recirculating through...

I'll make the trade if you are interested. 5 lb C02 tank, just hydro tested recently 1 tap-rite regulator - low pressure gauge only

Is the tank in date? The latest stamp on it is Aug of 2002?

I have a 5 lb tank and regulator I would be willing to trade you? What is the date on the tank?
