Thread resurrection :D Anyway, some of the guys on here have taught me more about this than I really think I needed to know. But I will say that 5.5' of EVA Barrier beer line is EXACTLY perfect for no foam (4mm ID x 8mm OD). The issue with foam is your carbonation, temp and serving pressure...

I knew I'd forgotten something (I always forget it during brew day too)

Alrighty, I'm pretty new myself compared to the veterans around here. So here's my input from a newer brewer (btw, this is not going to contradict anything you've already had posted, because they know their sheet :D) Here goes: I sanitize everything in my kitchen sink pretty much and never had...

Honestly I don't know as I never paid any attention to the yeast. I would recognize the packet though anywhere. found it: Apex London Ale Yeast...

Thanks Sir. Found a calc to help with those fun conversions :D https://www.brewersfriend.com/lme-dme-conversion-calculator/ Well, I don't intend on keeping DME around that long (unless the Anvil Foundry doesn't come back in stock for another 5 years haha). But I'd like to buy enough in bulk...

So I have been brewing from kits since I began brewing last year. Never had a bad batch and thoroughly enjoyed them all. I've always bought the Brewers Best kits and recently I've been thinking about just buying the ingredients myself. Since I don't need the bottle caps, the sugar, etc that...

That all makes sense, thank you. I'm going to just stick with Extract brewing until I get the All in one system (once they're available again. The Anvil 10.5's are on back order so I'm just biding my time until they're available again). This leads me to another question, but I'll post that in...

Cold Crash Guards arrived early. Thanks @Bobby_M, Got one hooked up already to my FV and the bag is filling up nicely with C02.

Waiting for them to be back in stock before I buy one. Unless I find one for sale used first. Chilling will be a jaded chiller. I think it’s called the Scylla.

ok, so the TL;DR version is: Get the Anvil Foundry 10.5 to do BIAB 5 gallon batches and instead of getting a kit, just get the recipe and order the ingredients. the not TL;DR is: Don't BIAB until I get my Anvil Foundry 10.5. My main issue with the ingredients only is no instructions on what to...

Here's the kit: https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Brew-Ingredient-My-Supply/dp/B0852BNQWC My brew kettle I use on the stove is only 5 gallons. So I usually only brew with 2.5 gallons of water at most and then add more water once I've transferred to the fermenter to bring it back up to 5 gallons...

Yup. It's all good. I learned some new things and can apply them better going forward next time.

Maybe I explained it a little poorly. The floatit wasn't the thing that froze. But it got cold enough that all the ice on the top of the beer was stuck to it when I was trying to pull a pint from it. So that clogged up the little mesh filter on the floating dip tube. That's what stopped the...

Cooling is holding steady at 68F all day and night. I've got some gallon jugs of water frozen up to maintain temp in the water. One in the morning lasted me for about 12 hours. I can handle switching these out every 12 hours. So far, really happy with this setup. Got some adjustments to make...

Good news: The first attempt was a great success. The Anvil held up with about 3psi and the keg handled the transfer flawlessly. I was thrilled to see it all working the way it was described to me. Bad news: I ended up needing to open the keg and let oxygen in after all. My beer had ice on the...

So my beer was cold enough it iced up. Didn't realize it was so cold in the kegerator. Turned up the temp some now. Thought my floating dip tube was clogged, as I wasn't getting anything through the beer line from the tap. So had to take a look inside (so much for my oxygen free transfer i did...

My plan is to move to all grain once I get the anvil foundry. I like me extract but I really want to start biab so I can learn more and experiment. Your post helped me make my mind up more. Thanks

Thanks for that. Now I understand it better. Well, the CCG's are on the way. Whoever runs brewhardware.com, major shout out to them for how prompt they handle everything i've ever ordered from there. It's always out the door the next day and barely takes any time to arrive. I'll make sure I...

This is definitely the main thing to take away when using AI. Being able to dig into things deeper and then come back to other options it gave earlier is a great thing. This is true, and I can't disagree. However, forums are also a great place to "lose" information. It's very time consuming to...

Ok, so I'm a bit of a tech nut. I've loved computers since I little (if you can call a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 16k a computer :D). But the point is, I'm starting to find a lot of uses for AI within my home and work life. Has anyone else here been using AI to get help or provide information on...
