Im using a keggle, pump, 25 ft copper pre-chiller, and a CFC when i brew, and i still only get the wort down to about 95. I live in SoCal so my hose water is pretty warm (85) but i thought i would be able to get the temp lower than that. I submerge the pre-chiller in an ice water bath, but it...

There recipe is in the BYO 150 clones, i dont have it on me though.

Thanks, all try another cleaning and use keg lube this time. Ive never noticed brand names on my kegs. Is it printed on the side?

And they are somewhat universal? Do I want to get the middle one here? Poppet Valve Type B All Cornelius http://www.northernbrewer.com/keg-repair-parts.html

The last two kegs that ive used and filled up have had a slight problem with the poppet on the gas assembly. When I added CO2 to the keg, and then took off the ball connector, gas was leaking. I can easily push on the poppet valve and it re-seats or something and is fine. it is also fine if I...

Are most people just taking a sample of wort, letting it cool, and making a hydrometer reading after each runnings and then again once all the wort is in the kettle to get their measurements?

Thanks for the pics, cant wait to see more. I am thinking about doing something very similar to this. Do you ferment in a carboy? Top loading sounds a little painful, but im not sure what the alternative would be.

I believe its 2 minutes.

Can this be done easily with Iodophor?

This is the response I got from FiveStar when i asked how to use 5.2 for 5.5 Gallon batches. From: Jon Herskovits [mailto:[email protected]] Chris, Just add one tablespoon to the mash. This will be enough to buffer the sparge water to 5.2. Thanks, Jon Herskovits

I also go to them, and have had no complaints. I even had a similar problem trying to get an old dial off a regulator, i took it in, and they took it off, and put the new gauge on for me. Ive never ordered online though.

Thanks for all the feedback. Im still getting to know my equipment, so next time i should come alot closer to my target temp. I discovered a thermometer that was WAY off during this run, and it has been retired.

My last All Grain batch only yielded 65% efficiency. When i mashed in, my temp was definatley high (at 160) for about 10-12 minutes. I stirred and added ice until I could get it down to 153. Im using a 10 gallon cooler (MLT) and it held 153 for the entire hour. I mashed out with about 8...

A drop from 158 to 148 is pretty significant. i dont think you should see that much of a drop from your cooler. Anything unusual going on?

A guy at my LHBS said that ownership or rights to Warrior was obtained by some company, and they were moving toward Columbus and not producing Warrior info. He "seemed" to know what he was talking about because the local brewery (Ballast Point) uses Warrior and now has to find a replacement...

and from what ive heard, there will be no more production of the Warrior hops. Can anyone confirm that?

May be too late, but I added a second faucet to my 2 " tower. I drilled a 1 inch hole using a standard drill and a step drill bit. Since my tower was only 2 inches, i had to lower the position of the second faucet so they are not the same height. Everything fit inside, including some...

I used 1.5 pounds (14.3%). I was afraid this would be a little low, but it was right about where i wanted it. Had no problems in the mash either.

I scored a 33.5 on my ESB. Much better score than I expected because i know i can improve on it. It was only my second batch. (they are lucky they didn't get one of the gushers).

Nice. Im going to check out Hopyard. looks pretty good, and the Brewer from Snoeshoe will be there tomorrow. Sounds worth checking out. http://www.snowshoebrewing.com/
