Has anyone used it? I mean it SEEMS cool and it's relatively cheap too...

Since apparently EVA lines and DuoTight are the future, I'm planning on slowly switching my stuff to the EVA universe. However, I can't find any picnic taps that connect to EVA lines. Am I going crazy? Is there a cheap faucet to serve from EVA barrier beer lines?

No idea about the freezer brand, it's pretty old and second hand. Temp is set at 38? Thanks to the advice here, I think I'm going to insulate the probe or put it in a glass of water!

I know this seems to get brought up all the time, but I'm worried my homemade keezer is cycling too often. I think it's a 5 or 7 cu ft freezer, without any external modifications (I just ran two wires in under the lid and gasket). I'm using a temperature probe that's hanging and measuring the...

Ah! Yes, the problem was with the poppet. In addition to the floating dip tube, I was also using a rubber "universal one-piece dip tube" that came with it. Apparently if the poppet is screwed on too tightly, it can squeeze this shut and essentially simulate a clog. Normally I'm the kind of...

So I am fermenting and serving a braggot from a single 5 gallon keg. The beer is only 3 gallons, if that matters. I'm using a floating diptube (the "FLOTit" found here) to pour and serve it. However, even when I crank up the pressure to something like 20+ PSI, the beer hardly trickles out my...

I know this is years later, but could I get a recipe and the type of yeast you used? I'm thinking of doing something similar. Do the circus peanuts add a strong flavor? I am worried that they have preservatives that would hurt the yeast, but it seems that wasn't a problem for you. What was the...

Why would a floating diptube cause irrevocable cloudiness?? Maybe an interaction with the plastic tubing or something?

Quick question: CAN I submerge a EVA duotight + blowtie + pressure gauge spunding valve underwater? It would obviously pinpoint MY leak, but I worry it will harm the pressure gauge or the blowtie...

However, I've heard that these days, the consensus is that yeast autolysis isn't really a thing for homebrewers at small scales? Good point about the bitterness stuff though, I didn't think about that!

As I lay awake last night, insomnia running wild, I spent a long time thinking about the laziest (and cheapest) brewing setup that I could possibly imagine. It's not quite automated, but it does remove most of the headaches I experience post-boil. Let me hear your thoughts on this possible...
