I decided to switch from my weldless fittings on my keggles to welded 1/2" stainless steel couplers. Initially, I had one weldless fitting on both kegs. When I moved to welded couplers, I decided to add one more coupler close to the top of each keg for a return. I have QDs from McMaster...

sorry, double post

If you dont have channel locks or vicegrips, use a cresent wrench during the "bite the ring in" step. Feed the spiral ring as clutchdude shows Put the mouth of the wrench over the keg lip and spiral ring Twist the cresent wrench (the handle, not the adjustment dial) to pop the ring...

plus 5 gallons +5=819

Is it Ice Harbor?

http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=usplastic&category%5Fname=15039&product%5Fid=605 this is what I use. I dont ferment in it tho.

Perfect. That worked. Thanks again (for about the fifth time haha)

Oh ok, I found where to change the utilization percentage for FWH. Right now its 10%. So at 10% with a 60 min boil (entered into boil time) of FWH its equivalent to ~190 min boil. Haha a little over board. I guess I'll have to adjust the utilization percentage...or figure out what to put...

Sweet. Thanks for explaining. Now I just need to figure out how to set up FWH in Beersmith. I use the FWH setting when I FWH, I just dunno what time to put in for the boil time. I've been putting 60 min cuz I boil 60 min. Does it work the same with NCing? Can anyone chime in on this?

ok sounds good. Thanks for the quick answer.

haha that made me laugh pretty hard. But hey Pol, I saw you mentioned you were gonna FWH and NC. Have you done this yet? I am brewin a Hefe right now that I'm FWHing in place of the 15 min addition. I've been wondering if boiling the FWH for 60 mins would be too long. NC is viewed as similar...

That's how I do it

30 mins left in the boil of my kolsch.

bump for good cause

I'm drinking some no chilled Kolsch right now. No off flavors, like Pol said no over bitterness, no corn flavor. I added my 5 min hop additon to the cube and transferred the hot wort on top. Pitched the next morning (in a carboy). Everything was sixes with quick chilled after that. The beer...

jkarp, so you hardly ever get more that a 5 gallon pre-boil volumes? How long does it usually take get a boil goin with your element? Thanks for the video by the way, I'm pretty excited to do this

Nice... I'm excited to see the difference in aroma with cube hopping. I've got a bourbon vanilla porter and a kolsch goin right now. we'll see how it turns out. I do need to get a hold of some silicone tubing tho.

Alright, sounds good. Happy I got a basic understanding now. But yea, I was reading about how you were planning on chilling and fermenting in the same vessel. That is a pretty cool idea. I'm interested in seeing how it turns out. Thanks again for the help.
