So, I started with my standard Tripel recipe (~11.5G to fermentor) (Glass Breaker Tripel.. There is a story for another time) 20 lb pils 4 lb white wheat 1 lb aromatic malt (I have made the recipe with C40 as well. This is mainly for some less fermentable sugars and some color) 6 lb trader joes...

I've had good luck with Mangrove jack M31 dry yeast.

Tripels are my Achille's heel. They were my gateway beer (Thanks Victory and Unibroue..) I make a Tripel every year on my birthday to enjoy year round. Allagash makes a great one, and also did a blend with their tripel and another brewery's pilsner(?) called Cur8 that was great. Recently, I...

Sorry, they picked at random, the person who joined 2 months ago, is not a supporter, has exactly one post on HBT and that was in this giveaway..

Just posting for those out there that have these pumps, I finally found a replacement o-ring for mine. Cost me $4.29 + $8.99 shipping. I could not find measurements, so I measured when I got it. It is a 53mm OD, 50MM ID, 1.5mm thickness o-ring. Hopefully this allows others to buy...

Burninate..

That is a great write-up, Thanks. The only thing I have to add(and I have not tested with the alcohol, so I don't know how it would react) I bought a thermal label printer, labels perfect to fit on the vials, and easy to add a QR code linking to the manufacturer's page on the yeast along with...

I'm with your LHBS on this one. The color change along with caramel flavors scream oxidation/staling to me. I might try changing out your o-rings on the keg, and even on the jumper you use to transfer. Make sure everything is tightened up correctly also. You could be getting ingress through the...

I'm assuming these were SS shanks? I don't think you would want to this on the chrome coated ones. I had thought about doing so on mine as well that are stainless, just haven't gotten to it yet. Good call on the pine scraps for the bench vice and the cone grinder.

You can get up to double the diameter with heat and any smooth tapered object... You're in Tokyo; Use a chop-stick (preferably a laquered one... the chopsticks I use to put my hair in a bun are larger than 3/8") Here's 3mm ID EVABarrier swaged over a 1/4" (6.35mm) barb: But why? Use a larger...

If you are using push-to-fit on your beer side, There are adapters for varying sized hose as well. I have found that they do not do well with vinyl tubing. Also, restricting the beer at the quick connect is going to increase your transfer time considerably. so if the above post with the swivel...

Hops would work great, but I guess they are not food, so I would say un-baked chocolate chip cookies. They are awesome when it's late and you want a warm snack.

For mine, I put a 2" tri-clamp port in the back a few inches up from the bottom. Almost level with that in the front I did 2 x 1/2" NPT, one for the valve and on for the thermo-well. So the temp probe sits ~3 inches from the element almost level with it. Stays pretty accurate. The one thing I...

Bittering hops?

Thanks to all our HBT sponsors that do give-aways like this. signed up as HBT-khannon.. Here's hoping for a new wine/beer cooler..

Where do I get one (or more)? because, "shut up, take my money" is the only phrase that come to mind.

Yes, This is why we take SG readings at a consistent temp, or use a calculator. https://www.brewersfriend.com/hydrometer-temp/ is what I use.

Also, if you are looking for quick and easy(and to save a little) morebeer has these https://www.morebeer.com/products/kegerator-beer-line-set-triple.html on sale. ~$15 gets you some duo-tight T's and enough tubing to serve(4mm id) and gas(5mm id).

Have you looked at the smaller kegland kegs? They have a 4 and 8L keg, and with a floating dip tube, you can put them sideways..I can fit 3 8L and a bunch of ice in my pancho cooler along with a sodastream ~1lb CO2 to pour through all of them. The pancho cooler holds ice for days or more in "New...
