In my head the copper wire just keeps the copper tubing centered in the outter hose. Thus making it more efficient and consistent by surrounding the copper tubing with even amounts of water on all sides of it. Thanks everyone for their input.

For those of you who have made a counterflow chiller I have 1 question about it. I was wondering what kind of wire/gauge wire you have used to wrap around the 3/8 tubing? Im planning on making one soon and wanted to do it right the first time. Thanks for any input. Dave

Very good. Thanks.

Anyone use these on their brew kettle? I was planning on using 1 on my brew kettle and 1 on my mash tun too. Seems like a good deal. http://www.homebrewstuff.com/1-2-weldless-bulkhead-w-compact-valve.html

Hey this is for the Chicago guys. I know there a few of you floating around on here. I usually get all my ingredients from Brew & Grow. To be honest thats the only brew shop I know about in the area. My problem is they dont carry American Red Wheat, or any Red Wheat for that matter. Was...

How long do you guys dry hop for?

Thanks everyone for all the help!

All I did to make it easy on myself I am using 5lbs of wheat malt instead of 6lbs. Thats the only thing I did different. The OG should be 1.046 according to BeerSmith.

How much water do you use when you rehydrate 1 packet?

Im going to be brewing a full grain wheat ale. Im going to use Safale US-05. My first question is do I have to rehydrate the yeast or just pitch it dry. I know you could do both, but not sure what way is better. It seems people on here do both. If I do need to rehydrate how much water do I use...

Thats what I thought. Thanks.

Question about the hop part of the recipe. Do you add the sterling at 60 minutes, or you have it boil for 60 minutes?

Thanks everyone for the replys. I appreciate it. I was just trying to not have to bottle as many bottles. But I'll stick with the 22oz bottles.

He never said that the cap would make the glass stronger nor did I say that in my post. The way he made it sound, the different cap was to make sure that the cap could hold the pressure. He said that the growlers were thick enough. I just wanted to get peoples opinions first cause not going to...

Thanks for the input. I talked to a guy at a local brew shop and he said that you can bottle in a growler. You just need to use a specific cap. Which is these: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/38-mm-polyseal-screw-caps.html

Are you able to bottle with growlers like this from northern brewer? http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/nb-red-crest-growler-1.html I wasnt sure if the growler will hold the pressure through the process. Thanks, Dave

Anyone ever try making an ale with pomegranate? Im sure people have. Im thinking about doing it and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or foundations to start on. Thanks, Dave
