The transfer hose is clear, so you will see when you are out of beer, just like when a keg blows. Also, you will hear it because you will be pushing CO2 to the bottom of the new corny and it will bubble through your beer. Make sure you connect beer out to beer out (Black to Black on a ball lock)...

For forty plus years, my grandfather was the only roulette wheel manufacturer in the United States. Paul Tramble Roulette Service. In honor of him, Roulette Brewing.

I say pils. I have made a pils with Mt. Hood several times and love it. 1 oz each at 60, 10, 5, and flameout.

Love brewersfriend! It works great on all platforms. They also have the only yeast starter calculator that works on iPad and iPhone.

Yes, that is what I meant. You also might try a good old clothespin. That is what I used before I got my camlocks.

Large binder clip. You can clip it to whatever then put the hose through it.

I recently picked up a 5L starter that I use for 10g lager starters. I also often step up starters with two 2L steps. Before getting my 5L flask, I have used a 2gallon and 5gallon bucket on my DIY stir plate without issue. The largest starter I have done on my stir plate is 9L for use in two 10...

A drop in pressure will not indicate a leak because the water will absorb some CO2 and the pressure will drop. If you have an air compressor (or bike pump if you are up for it), you can pressurize with that instead of CO2 to save CO2. That is what I do. I cut a valve stem out of an old bike...

How you drill your holes depends on how your set-up will sit. For example, I have a three tier stand (photo below) so I put my thermometer/sight glass and my valve 90 degrees apart because I will always be looking at them fro the side. If you are doing a single tier, you might want them closer...

First off, yes you will get some sludge when you sample, and when you start to transfer, but not pints worth. I ferment in unmodified sankey kegs. Last night I took a sample (about 4oz), I shook it up and degassed it for a while and then let it sit for about 20 minutes. It settled and there was...

The type of chiller doesn't matter, how do you transfer from the kettle? Do you use an auto-syphon or do you have a valve?

Red Rock brewing. Their Eliphino DIPA is wonderful (bottle only) and their food is good too.

Borgstrom, Is that a beer nut to 1/2" fitting on your Sankey tap, and if so where did you get it? As far as pitching yeast, I use a method different from the two you mentioned. I use a plate chiller, so I can't pitch into the kettle. Here is my method. Ten gallon batch in a 1/2BBL Sankey...

Lagers take time. It has been four days. Wait it out.

How about sharing that recipe for your margarita keg,

Buy one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FJZYR0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Then you can connect the hose to anything 1/2" NPT.

I have taken kegs camping several times. Here is my advice. If you can chill and carb ASAP. This will help clear the beer. Then the day before you leave transfer it to a new keg (under pressure beer out to beer out). That way you leave any sediment and still get clear beer when you get to your...

Fifty-Fifty is in Truckee, CA (Near Lake Tahoe). They brew Eclipse (imperial stout) once a year and then age it for six months in different whiskey barrels. The wax color indicated what kind of barrel it is from. http://www.fiftyfiftybrewing.com/index.php?pg=styleguide They sell futures and...

On Friday I brewed three ten gallon batches in nine hours (7:30am-4:30pm). Only prep was grains milled at LHBS and yeast starters.
