There is a bunch of diffrent kinds of tubing, here is one version: 3/16 pvc FDA approved # 5233K53 $.15/ft

McMaster carr for hard to find fittings. also I bought my beer line there @$.19/ft

The extra time in the primary gives the yeast time to 'clean up' it will reduce the off flavors, plus a lot of us are not racking to a secondary. I sometimes do 1,2,3 but my past 2 brews were only in a primary (2 weeks) to the keg for a bit of conditioning.

Nope, it shouldn't Think of how long those bottles of soda sit in a werhouse / supermarket shelves, besides you can go back and hit them with gas to add some bubbles! Im actually goung to use the bottles for small batches of beer / soda That way Im not wasting a 5gal keg for only 1gal :mug:

I just picked up a carbonator cap for cleaning / sanatizing lines. Just fill a 2l soda bottle with your favorite cleaner and invert the bottle, open the tap. Do the same for sanitizer. Plus then youll have a good way to transport brews to partys ect.

I did the same exact thing this weekend with my oatmeal stout. I had 5.75 pre boil and 4.5 post with an og of 1.062 However I decided to leave it alone (4.5 @ 1.062) We will see how it turns out.

Thanks, fixed... I didn't even check it. Oops.

Sounds good to me, we will see how the c25 works in about 6 weeks. :tank:

My REVIEW of Homemade Root beer, soda, and pop is up! Good book, BTW

Homemade Root Beer, Soda, and Pop by Stephen Cresswell This book has some interesting (to say the lest) recipes in it. From standard old fashioned Root Beer to sodas involving vinegar. The book also goes over a bit of history of soda, and also includes an overview of equipment used (if carbing...

How would a tank of C25 (25%co2/75%argon) work with this? I understand that you need the co2 anyway. I have a tank of C25 for my mig, also a tank of 100% argon for tig, and I have a batch of oatmeal stout I brewed yesterday. This would be great to use gas I already have. Thanks for the...

Recipe looks tasty, I did this last year (AG): * 7.50 pounds Maris Otter 2 Row malt * 0.50 pound Crystal Malt L40 * 3 oz. chocolate malt * 0.5 pound wheat malt (HMD Belgian) * 1 pound pumpkin flesh in the boil * 2 ounces Hallertauer (3.2 % alpha, boil 60...

That's a pretty neat idea. I think Ill try it tonight. I have some spices left over from my brewed pumpkin ale (which really did not come out that good, as far as a pumpkin ale) On a side note... last night I picked up Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale, it is fantastic, much better than Saranac IMO.

I use straight well (filtered) water. Some people use RO (reverse osmosis) systems. I have been thinking of running my water through a carbon filter, but I have no gripes with the taste of any of my beers.

I couldn't see the aroma "escaping" but that's just my opinion. I don't know the scientific-s behind it.

Did you look through the recipe section? Possibly American Ales There is an American pale towards the top of the list, it may be a good starting point.

I just purchased Homemade rootbeer, soda, & pop I should be getting it monday. Ill let you know how it is.

58. How to count to 100 (just busting)

Did my first batch as an extract, then each successive was AG. I like building and tweeking things, so I felt AG was for me. You can build many AG things on a budget. There are so many project threads around. In fact I just bought a 1/2 keg today for a keggle, and I already have intentions...

cornstarch & alc. O.P. Does the front of the freezer get warm? If so, the coils are in there.
