What are you guys getting for FG? I've been fermenting for 10 days now and it's still at 1.030, hoping it drops a bit.

I use one of these to recirculate ice water through my immersion chiller, works fine. http://m.harborfreight.com/16-hp-submersible-utility-pump-1350-gph-68422.html Also I've used their knock out punch set to put a hole in my electrical panel with success.

Resurrected again?

Get a fridge off Craigslist, build it yourself.

Looks like I have a couple ball lock gas disconnects that are leaking, I hit each one with 50psi and dropped some soap in and they make very fine bubbles. I'm going to try to disassemble & check the o-ring, but may just end up replacing them.

Do you have a large cooler? If so grab a cheap submersible pump from Harbor Freight, connect one hose from the pump to your immersion chiller, another hose goes from the immersion chiller back to the cooler. Add a couple bags of ice to the cooler and add some water, plug pump in and you'll be at...

As I mentioned, I have some PE tubing as well, both types will lose 1-2psi per hour when I pressurize the system and shut off the tank. I'm now in the process of resealing the 4 way secondary, maybe it's leaking. Soap on all connections show no bubbling.

If you have John Guest fittings on your kegerators gas side, can you tell me what tubing you are using? I'm having a hard time with leaks and I think it may be the tubing I'm using (1/4" od vinyl). I tried subbing in some semi-rigid PE tubing, but that seemed to leak more than the vinyl. I'm at...

He's probably using a 3 piece airlock like this, not an "s" type. In a 3 piece there's a floating top. https://www.morebeer.com/products/airlock-3-piece.html?site_id=5

Those are John Guest fittings, I'm not a fan of barbs & hose clamps, plus they let me change things out quickly if needed.

You ferment ales at 48?

The regulator is a Taprite 4 body secondary, it's attached to the shelf rail with 5/16 x 1 1/2" bolts that go through 1" nylon spacers. I used lock washers to make sure it stays tight.

You'll likely get some off flavors, but it'll ferment fully.

Yes, mine likes to work its way out too. I gave up on mine and went with something else.

Sounds good, I'll give this a try. Thanks!

I should have mentioned I'm going for mellowing/melding/aging during this time, after a couple months I'll carb it up with co2.

I'm currently fermenting a milk stout, it'll be done with primary in a week and a half. It's currently occupying my mini fridge, which I need free for my next batch. I'm planning to rack it to a keg, but I'm not sure what to do after that. I have a few choices: 1. Seal the keg up and condition...

I brewed this Saturday, mashed it at 154.

I have a Rubbermaid/Home Depot 10 gallon round cooler as a mash tun, it has a screw on lid. I bought a bag for it (http://www.brewinabag.com/collections/frontpage/products/the-brew-bag-for-coolers) and I have a dumb question. With the bag hanging over the outer edges of the cooler, will the...
