The beauty of this is I can use my only regulator for my regular 5lb canister and a 20 oz paintball canister... that's why I'm getting it. I'd rather use what I have - and this way I don't have to be constantly threading and un-threading the cga-320 stem out of the regulator body...

yeah, that's what I'm going to try for the next batch. but unfortunately, the largest part of the piece sticking out is the stainless coupler. I'm going to remove that and use a copper NPT adapter instead.. to get a little less drag in there.. should only be about 1" nub sticking out in the...

Umm. yes. I am going to keep the cylinder upright. liquid CO2 in regulator = bad. Unfortunate picture....

Gee, with a lathe what couldn't you do? But, I'm asking if anyone has used this adapter....

Has anyone tried this?: "The Adapter" CO2 regulator to Paintball tank Adapter I like it.. as it seems that I don't have to pull the 320 adapter out of my regulator, but just thread this on the 320 adapter on the regulator then screw the paintball canister on...

I buy BierMuncher's theory... I think my pickuptube and weldless fitting are interrupting the vortex.. or at least slowing it down. And yes, I have stirred the living **** out of my wort getting a good whiripool going... I'm willing to bet my pickup tube is causing me grief... I could extend...

So, I've been TRYING to whirlpool my latest batches to try to get some of the hops and break material out.. I've read the Whirlpooling Wiki and all the topics I could on the subject... and I still can't get a good cone to form. After I get done with IC chiller, pull it out and start...

What, go back across the divide? I will visit Big Sky Homebrew Supply next time I'm up there, thanks! Oh, yeah, that's what I wanted to convey.. $2.50 PER BUSHEL... I think it would amaze most homebrewers to know what a farmer gets for a bushel of the grain that gets sold to be malted (By...

Hey, to each their own, as it's said.... If someone wants to go buy $48 worth of copper, they can go for it! I actually bought my AL for closer to $20 and I didn't feel like buying more crap that I didn't need... I have amassed enough stuff through my many hobbies. (Do any of you know that...

Go for it Tommy!

That's if you do have a LHBS that's near. Not all of us are that lucky. Anyhow, if you want to become Ebay-matic or sell stuff, or make a huge chiller then by all means, buy the copper from Coppertubingsales.com and do it! If someone wonders if they can make an effective and cheap immersion...

True... but what if you don't want 50' of tubing? Or don't feel like selling the rest after you made your 25' chiller?

pics added, for those that care. I could have bent the "straight tubes" a bit better but they work for my squatty 8 gallon boil kettle... I put a flare fitting on the input side of the chiller and a 1/2" barb for some hose. The output side I just slipped some 1/2" ID hose over the the...

Yeah, I did boil the chiller before use and let some oxidation build. I'm personally not worried about the AL factor - I'll let others worry about that. The tubing is hard to bend, or at least pretty easy to screw up. 3/8" might be easier, but I wanted more bang for my buck. My theory...

I don't have any keggles yet, so that's not a problem at this point. If I do go that route, I'll just weld up a frame and likely rob the burners from this setup... but this will work for now...

Oh, and remember to use a tube bender for 1/2" aluminum - you'll need it for those 90 degree bends, the metal is thin...

I couldn't stomach spending $45 for copper tubing... so I bought 25' of 1/2" OD aluminum tubing from Summit Racing (they use it as fuel line) Summit® Aluminum Fuel Lines - summitracing.com total cost delivered to my door for ~$25 Added flare fittings etc... Just a simple chiller, but I...

Bought this today for $49 Amazon.com: Bayou Classic DB375, Double Burner with Folding Side Shelves: Patio, Lawn & Garden Anyone on here use anything like this? I'm looking forward to doing bigger batches away from my crappy glass-top electric stove....

What beer were you drinking then, in BILLINGS? it's a big state buddy, go a little further West.

Howdy all. So, I'm trying to do some small, 3 gallon all grain batches (something I can do inside with my electric stove, since it's all of -10 F. outside these days), and was trying to find out my evaporation loss rate, just so I get get my all my mash tun run offs and sparging to push out...
