With a bench capper, you can adjust the height. If you are doing bottles of differing heights, do them in batches to minimize having to adjust the height. I have mostly run into it filling 12oz vs 330ml bottles as those get mixed in my stock for bottling time. If all your bottles are the same...

But some go to 11.. The ones with the "dent" in the bottom are typically rated for higher pressure. In all seriousness, Some of the 375s and 750s use a 10cm(?) cap that is wider than the standard cap, so so make sure whichever capper you are using supports it(some are reversible). If you are...

While I totally agree on the SteamSlayer or other steam condensers, keep in mind that one of the things they rely on is creating a "vacuum" of sorts. I built one to work with my keggle style boil kettle that has a 2" TC port on top, and had troubles until I got the lid to seal tight. I also...

I went with the: Regency 36" 16-Gauge Stainless Steel One Compartment Commercial Utility Sink - 36" x 21" x 14" Bowl #600S13621B - EA Bought it the tail end of 2019. I had to custom make longer legs (The top railing of chain link fence is almost the exact size). I did not get it installed...

I too bought the Regency 36 inch sink.. Like other reviewers, I have had surface rust from leaving things in the sink. I also had the issue of rust on the side seams causing leaks after about a year. I solved this temporarily with epoxy. Not the best solution. I love the size of it though, can...

So you want someone to wake you up, then make you poop?

Hmm.. one might even imagine building some sort of randall out these for pretty short money?

Count me in.. This would go great with my new grill. As always big thanks to Inkbird for supporting the community and having great products.

And better, 240 works much faster..

Did you just link to a thread that links back to this thread? Seems pretty helpful... The link in millstones post is a good way to go. Though popular lore (iirc) is they would add beer from a previous batch at some point, this provided that distinctive sour note.

What about cutting open a spare keg, and hiding a 5# CO2 in it?

Awesome, Thanks for doing this guys.. Survey says 7-10 5 Gallon batches can be served with a 5# tank depending on many factors. A 15# tank would be awesome for serving the 7 tap system I am currently building.. Fingers crossed (as they say, excepting the origins of the phrase..) Really...

The thing I like most about brewing my beer at home is the ability to try new things. Pinter would allow me to try smaller batches of ne w things quicker, so that would be pretty neat.

Let me start by saying I'm mostly a "beer flavored beer" guy. Don't get me wrong, I love well crafted beer, across the BJCP guidelines from smoked to sours, I love them all.. Issue is, I go to 5-9 home-brew fest events a year, all have some competition side that(seems to be) is mostly a...

I think this is the appropriate place for "pics or it didn't happen..", or maybe "stls or it didn't happen" :)... Though maybe time for a VW inspired beer.. had a 73 bus(a few of them) that I ended up selling for more than I paid for all of them, Only reason I can claim that "I lifted the whole...

There are some methods out there to attach a gas line to the liquid out post, purge the keg and "bubble" gas through the beer post. While doing this, keep the prv open, You'll get some foaming, but it's a pretty quick way to get CO2 out of solution. Works best at warmer temps, but can be done...

iirc it was 1lb sugar per gallon of water = SG bump of ~.044 so ~5.5%, so I think 4 ls in 5 gallons is going to be just shy of 5%. Of course I think you want to make sure to add yeast nutrients to keep them happy. One 10-11g pack of dry yeast should be enough.

Running a ~11g batch, I start the night before, grind the grain, measure/treat strike water ~20 mins Day of, roll out of bed, turn on HLT to get to temp, fall back asleep. wake up, transfer water from HLT to mash tun ~5 mins. Shower, get breakfast, coffee etc, I suppose ~1 hr while mashing...

I'll be there with the SPARGE homebrew club. Make sure to stop by and say hi. I'll keep a lookout for your table. Back to the OP's topic though, here in MA, you also need to get a one day license from the town you are hosting in if it's not someplace that already has a license to pour. And some...

I'm pouring at one in a week and a half.. VERMONT HOMEBREW FESTIVALS Organizing one seems like a LOT of work though.
