It's missing the spring and shutter, sounds like it's missing the orifice then.

I was given a BG-14 burner that is pretty rusty, still looks like it has a lot of life left in it though. I picked up a 20psi regulator kit for it and found that the hole is to large for the 3/8 flange that came with the kit. Do you think I could tap out the hole and find a bigger flange?

3 Extract then had everything together to start AG.

Sadly I will not be able to make Thursdays meet up due to prior obligations to SWMBO lol, but now that I know I'll keep an eye out for the next one.

Just seeing this thread, great idea guys. I live just over the bridge and would love to get some opinions on my brews from some fellow home brewers. I've been brewing for about a year and a half now and have moved to all grain for the last few batches using a 3 tier gravity setup that's been...

Oh, got it for $25.77 (shipped) by the way.

This is exactly what I'm trying to do under the workbench out in my garage! Awesome build.

Well... after reading the majority of this thread I bit the bullet today and ordered one. Let the good times roll.

I second those who have talked about the oxyclean bath. I have done the same thing with great luck. Awesome! I buddy of mine, also a fellow brewer just gave me a bunch of bombers and 750ml bottles that were taking up too much room in his garage... assuming SWMBO had something to do with...

My modest setup. It's a start. HLT (Quarter Keg for now) --> 52qt Colman Extreme cooler MLT with a ball valve/braided hose setup --> SS boil kettle. Underneath you'll notice the mini fridge that I want to build a fermention chamber around underneath the work bench that I've already...

Skimming through a site I saw this and had to laugh... if I had a brew pub or something similar I'd make these in a heartbeat.

Sounds like a buddy of mine... when he first learned that I started brewing he was ragging on me saying how it'll suck ect... tasted my first brew and has been stealing them ever since. He sat in on my last brew day and was asking all kinds of questions so I'm willing to bet he's going to start...

Typically after steeping and removing the grain I would bring the temperature up to boiling, cut the burner off and while stirring add the dme until dissolved, then turn the heat back on. Sounds like it was too cool.

Here it is, had a great dark head that had good retention... I was a little slow on getting the camera up though. The bourbon is still a little strong up front but finishes nicely.

Old oak barrel bourbon ale. Head dropped some before I could get the camera up on the phone.

Beers I have brewed.

Tasting great! I think a couple more months and it will be spot on.

Speaking from experience you're probably fine to go ahead and reseat the lid and clean/refill the airlock at this point. On future brews look into using a blow off tube assembly instead of an airlock for initial fermentation... will save your sanity. My experience was that I wish I had a video...
