I just used the Williams Brewing wand thingy for the first time and it worked awesome. The last thing I like to do after an afternoon of brewing is shake 5 gallons of wort for 5 minutes. Call me lazy but it was well worth the 50 bucks

I use a CFC and good old gravity. It gets my wort down to 65 degrees in one pass, right into the fermenter. Its your standard issue 25' 3/8th CFC

Good call.

Just got into kegging finally. Have a few beers in kegs at the moment while I'm hunting down a chest freezer. I purged the air out of the kegs and put them on 20lbs just to seal the lids. My question is: I've gone back about a week later and just pulled the relief valves (I'm new to this...

For the love of God, someone start a collection for this guy!

I bought one from this guy. Worked out great! Hydrotest was all good. Local place just swapped it out

So, I'm reporting back in. I mixed up a triple strength batch of star san and let it soak for four days. This did the trick! No more rust! I had also noticed some similar spots on a coupler that was welded near the top. I hit it with some 600 grit sandpaper and that cleared it right up too...

Cool. Thanks for the ideas guys. I went ahead and crushed up four campden tablets and added it along with 1 tsp of potassium sorbate. I'll let it sit for a couple day and proceed from there. Thanks guys!

Right on! I got both so I'll just do that. Thanks for the input

So here is what I am looking to do: I have 4.5 gallons of Edwort's Apfelwein that is completely fermented out sitting on top of the yeast cake in the primary right now. I want to rack this into my keg with a couple cans of apple juice concentrate to backsweeten and give it a stronger apple...

Anyone ever use this yeast before? How'd it work out?

I'm going to be brewing this AHS Belgium Noel this weekend. Its the extract version and I'll be using the White Labs Golden Belgian Ale #570. I'm currently making a 2L starter on my stir plate. So my question is: What temps would you ferment this at? Should I start out in the lower sixties...

So I just wanted to follow up on this. I ended up ordering 8 of the "Economy Ball Lock Kegs" from Keggle Brewing and I could not be more happy! I found absolutely ZERO PROBLEMS with all of the kegs. ALL the rubber tops and bottoms were securely fastened. The insides were extremely clean...

Pfft, I can't wait 30 seconds so I just use liquid nitrogen

Thanks for the sugestions guys. I'll give it a super star san soak and if that doesn't do the job i'll hit it with the sandpaper. I'll report back in

CFC, gravity fed, right into the fermenter

So I just got my keggle back from my friend who welded a few couplers in for me. After I got done cleaning it up with some bar keepers friend and Oxyclean I noticed two spots on the bottom that look like rust. When I run my finger over them they are rougher then the rest of the inside. Can I...
