Maybe you could use a sanke keg instead of the plastic water bottle. Both have an approx 2" orifice.

If you get a big enough chiller, you should be able to skip complexities. FWIW, I found a HERMS coil in the boil kettle to be annoying for cleaning, but it works well in the HLT. You can run chillers in series, with cold tap water entering each of them. Also, 100F coming out of the chiller is...

Picked my 2020 hops and put a West coast medley of 2019 hops in a Randallizer with a Blonde Ale.

Look for pure fruit extracts in alcohol solution at the grocery store. Ive had good luck with lemon and cherry ones. You can make the oil based extracts work by putting a few drops in the bottom of a glass, but I like the batch solution in the keg. Another option is to take the juice and zest of...

Wall mounted tire rack works great for keg and carboy storage.

I've had good experience with a stainless 3/4 hp shallow well jet pump at 25 psi. Works great.

I'm thinking about taking some of the first runnings of a 90% 2row, 10% Vienna mash (maybe 152°) and caramelizing them like how you make Candi sugar. Curious if anyone has done this. I think I've brewed with every commercially available specialty malt, or its analog, and want to try something...

Thanks folks. Turns out the reviews on this were absolutely horrible. Not a huge amount of selection right now, but I went with a Frigidaire 8.7 FFFC09M1RW instead. Looks like it'll fit 4-5 ball locks plus a 3 gallon and CO2 on the hump.

Any heros out there know how many Cornelius Pepsi kegs this sucker would hold? https://www.homedepot.ca/product/magic-chef-11-0-pieds-cubes-congelateur-horizontal/1001186572

OK, that makes sense now. Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your responses. A question about weighing the distillate, how would I take into account any water vapor that came along with the ethanol?

is there a tool available ($hundreds not thousands) that can accurately measure abv in finished beer? I will be experimenting with de-alcoholizing some of my beers. Thanks.

They can work in either orientation. Just make sure you mount it in a way that the the spray cone reaches all parts of the equipment to be cleaned. You can find the effective working angle of your spray ball in its specs. Usually it will be 170-360 degrees.

Apparently a few of my 2019 hop cones have ants. Is it like fruit flies where 1 individual bug can quickly spoil a batch of beer? These would be used in the kettle, and not for dry-hop.

Hello all, I am on a quest to build better tasting mineral water. San Pellegrino-ish is my goal. I have all the usual mineral salts from beer brewing. Based on my starting point below, what do you think is my best bet for additions scaled to 18.93L / 5 US gallon Corny keg?

Cool. Thanks folks.

I have a large amount of grain from 2014. Its been stored dry and cool and smells and tastes fine. Any foreseeable issues with using it? Thx

It looked like mother of vinegar, but it was something else, unsure what.

I have a bunch of the 525's; two of them leaked, but swap the o-rings out with a new set from ontariobeerkegs or elsewhere and all set.
