I have a regulator that I would trade for 2 sanke taps. It is a single gauge. Located in Reno, NV

If you want to get your best efficiency, you have to know where your problems are. Accurate measurements of gravity and volumes are vital to figuring out where you can improve. This article by HBT member Kaiser really helped me dial in my efficiency. I am consistently getting 80% now. His...

Did you measure the gravity of the first runnings? And what was your water to grain ratio on the mash?

We often blend post fermentation. We brew 12.5 gallon batches and double brew days. This means we have 25 gallons I the end 10 gallons of each beer and 5 gallons of blend. If I have an extra keg, we might fill 2 half full. Have done it twice and both times it was great. IPA/Porter that made a...

1. Manifold: Three ring is unnecessary. Just one ring with a 8" or so diameter would be best. Any larger and you will leave lots of wort in the center of the tun. 2. Pump; You don't need one if you design right. Your stand has to be tall enough that each vessel can drain into the next one...

Can I have the code please?

Cornykeg.com has a sanke conversion kit. It is ball lock posts that attached directly to the beer nut threads on a sanke coupler. Once you install them you just hook up your hoses to the coupler just like you would to a corny keg. http://www.cornykeg.com/catalog.asp?prodid=752203&showprevnext=1

I ferment in an unmodified sanke in a freezer with the ebay controller from the DIY forum. I remove the spear to clean (oxy soak), sanitize and fill. Then I pitch the yeast and replace the spear. I have a modified sanke coupler that has the check valve removed and attach that to the keg and a...
