for those who didn't do the welds, how do you attach the gas pipeline or the T fittings to the frame? thinking that I may go that route instead. thx

Thx for the replies. I know this is possible as I've seen it done successfully but was just curious if anyone had similar issues. Used my compressor and soapy water to test everything so safety was and is a priority obviously

making a brutus 10 build and having some trouble with the welds for the gas lines. a friend of mine and I built it and he did the welds but upon testing them all of the welds for the back "gas" pipe and the couplers that got welded in all leak. How hard is it to make air tight welds? Any...

On my way to a HERMS unit with 3 keggles and trying to figure out how to do it with one pump. Question: if you're recirculating your mash the entire 60-90 minutes why would you go through the extra step of sparging (again, because aren't you effectively sparging the entire mash cycle?)...

"lagers take me around 2 weeks to ferment. I let them sit at 50ish for 4 weeks," when you say that are you fermenting for 2 weeks at 60's AND THEN letting it sit at 50ish for 4 weeks or is the fermenting for 2 weeks also at 50 and then you let it sit for another 2 weeks. Gravity is 1.050 at...

Primary fermentation in the fridge at 48 degrees for 8 days. Fermentation seemed to stop in the fridge after a few days and when I took it out for the diaycetl rest (24hrs at room temp) the fermenting started up again. Couple questions: Is my primary temp too cold? When I transfer to...

I did rack to secondary when i dry hopped. I didn't take a gravity reading at this point but the airlock was quiet for a good 2 days. I'm thinking about a 3rd transfer to dry to clear this beer up a bit before I bottle it. the recipe I had gave me some pellet hops for dry hopping which has...

Thx for the input Another question is since I've dry hopped ive gotten a pretty significant secondary fermentation and activity in the airlock. Is this common?

It was a partial grain with just some specialty grains and mostly extract. The steeping got a little hotter than I wanted at 160 instead if 155. Also I did boil 4 gallons and then topped off what was left before pitching yeast which was about 3.5 gallons. I didn't really mix it up so my...

brewed the surly furious clone from midwest and it said my initial reading should be 1.060-1.068 and mine was actually 1.080. Why would I get a higher reading and should I be concerned? thx
