80% Briess pale 20% flaked oats 1:1:1 Citra, Simcoe, Idaho 7 1318 OG 1.070 FG 1.014 7.4% ABV

Two things are key. Having the right size tools and not using too much heat. I dipped about 3/4" of tubing and the tool into 175 degree water for 5 seconds and then stretched it with the punch on the left. I then did the same thing with the punch on the right. I then did it again, but...

I just got 4mm ID EAVbarrier over a 10mm (0.394") barb no problem. This kind of opens up possibilities for people wanting to use the 4mm tubing on their gas side.

I don't think the valve's housing is expanding due to the pressure created by freezing beer on one side of the valve because there is no valve on teh other side of the elbow at the bottom of the fermenter. All pressure created by the freezing beer will just go up into the fermenter. Plus, look...

OP, how much pressure do you put in the fermenter?

Why would freezing beer in the ports push it's way past the valve instead of in the opposite direction, increasing the pressure in the vessel slightly?

I'd be worried about a leaky butterfly valve. Mine have never leaked a drop. You don't cap your valves while the fermenter sits? I always cap mine after spraying the valve with starsan to keep them clean while they sit. It will also prevent leaks in your case.

From Kegland: "Outter Barrier - The outter barrier has accurately extruded tolerances and made from an EVA material. It also seals well when used with various John Guest, DuoTight or other push in fittings. The outter barrier gives the tubing excellent kink resistance so the line is able to...

Teflon lined is not really that bad. With careful routing it should not be an issue. I could see most people complaning about it, though, forgetting they are sacrificing some user friendliness for ultimate performance. I think I'll give it a shot for my gas side first since I already have...

Do you know who makes Evabarrier?

Does anyone actually know what the "proprietary" inner layer is? I don't understand why vendors don't use Teflon lined tubing for beer and gas lines. The tubing already exists. Maybe Evabarrier is and they're just not saying. I have used Teflon lined tubing for gas lines for certain parts of...

What kind of kegs and what kind of disconnects are you using? Every time you reconnect a Corny quick disconnect, you introduce O2 into the keg. You might be better off leaving them connected.

Have you guys who are following Janish's book and advice had Sapwood beers? Are you impressed by them?

Thanks. It looks amazing!

Did you soft crash this one before dry hopping?

JC said the exact same thing. It's not unheard of.

But "hazies" are what, around 15+ years old now? You think that's a fad?

Many of the statements about NEIPAs have been disproven years ago.

I have been hopping at a rate of 3 lbs per 10 gallons (~9 lbs per bbl) of finished beer for a few years now. But, that's finished beer. Those 3 lbs go into way more than 10 gallons of liquid. Not sure how breweries calculate their ratios. Do they use finished beer or the amount of liquid the...

1318 on my stir plate only "krausens up" about 1/8"-3/16". During fermentation of my 1318 starters, I usually see tons of little bubbles rising up through the starter for about a day. Did you not see that?
