Thanks guys. I was going to flare the copper so I could rotate the copper tubing inside the ss fitting which would screw into my ss 1/2" coupler on the inside of my sanke keg. I think I'm going to make it all out of copper and just connect the two pieces with a piece of silicone tubing for now...

Can someone with better search skills than me help me find what I'm looking for on McMaster-Carr or another source. I can't seem to find it. I'm looking for a for a fitting with the following two sides: 1/2 male threads flared fitting for 3/8 inch copper pipe. I'm looking for this part in...

Good stuff - thanks for posting. I just got my BYO tonight and read that article. The article mentions it could also help lower astringency extraction.

Good advice. Brew a few dozen beers and get your process down. Add one new thing to your process once you can repeat your process.

:ban: HA! Now that's funny.

A soldering torch kit should be less than $20 and it's really easy. Sand the copper till it's shiny. Put some flux on the parts. Assemble the parts. Heat the joint and touch solder on the seams. The solder will get sucked in and seal the joint.

Thanks - you guys rock!

Anybody every use wlp800 or wlp838 in an apple cider? I've got a two varieties of cider ready to ferment, and two yeast cakes sitting around...

I'd wash the yeast, it only takes a few minutes.

My boss asked what I did on my vacation. I replied, "Making beer and killing deer".

That is a true statement.

Sent you an email on an order. Thanks, JD

My water supply lists Alkalinity 36 mg/L. So my Bicarbonate = 36 x 1.22 = 43.92 ? That's a nice little tool - brewers friend...

The spreadsheet has a dropdown list for measuring alkalinity: 1: Bicarbonate (ppm) 2: Alkalinity as CaCO3 Neither are listed on my local report.

Palmer's spreadsheets uses Alkalinity as CaCO3 but my water reports doesn't list that. Is there any way I can calculate that value based on the water report content below? Here’s my water report. Chlorine residual 2.32 mg/L PH 7.3 Units Fluoride...
