Here is my 32 tip setup. I use it often. Me and my dad ( who is a welder/fabricator) built the stand. Have about 17' of 3/8" hose off of my 1" gas meter. You have to run it low, makes it a little sooty, but works great!

I also made the (rainbow?) cream soda and it was way too watered down with 4 gals of water. The box says it makes 4 gallons. We sweetened it a lil at a time and still tasted like crap. It was my first batch of soda ever, and it kinda turned me off from making soda. I also dumped it out to...

Over the winter I am tearing out our old bar and building a new one, along with some other remodeling that doesnt involve brewing. My bar design is very simple, a bar sink, a small fridge, and a keezer with a dual tower. There will be a regular counter height (36") and a tall counter (42"), on...

I want to add a thermometer to my HLT. Not so much concerned with the weldless part ( done that before), wondering if i can use a compression fitting around a stem thermometer. I kinda tried a 1/4 o.d. comp ring around a piece of poly tubing with the stem inside of the tubing, it all didnt...

Thanks Ed, You're a hero to us all.

Just cornie keg your beer! If your anything like me you'll hardly be able to keep 5 gallons around for more than a week or so. Couldnt imagine how quick I would go through a mini-keg. Primary: None Secondary: Coffee Stout Bottled: Am. Pale Ale, Vanilla Porter, Bock R.I.P.: Am...

Went to my LHBS and he only had 40L Crystal and the receipe calls for 10L. Should I adjust for the diiference? If so how much?

I currently have a kegerator that i built about four years ago. Nothin special, one keg and a cheap tank and reg. I am going to build a keezer with two faucets and kegs. My question is how do force carb one keg (30 psi), and have one at serving presssure (4-7 psi). Does the gas have to be on...

I keg it, little shake, put in the fridge, crank the gas up to 30 psi for 3 or 4 days. Then bleed the gas off, turn it down to serving pressure. Perfect brew everytime.:mug: Primary: None Secondary: Coffee Stout Bottled: Am. Pale ale, Vanilla Porter, Bock R.I.P.:Am. Brown Ale...

I made 4 batches of extract brew (dry yeast)and bottled with priming suger. I then made the switch to AG and made 4 batches (liquid yeast) and force carbed in a keg. The taste difference between the two is pretty distinct. The bottles are sort of sharp? tasting and the keg beer is so smooth...

I use a coleman rectagular cooler ( even though some say not to use them, i just wrap a sleeping bag around it and it holds the heat ok) and a copper manifold and I think it kicks ass, just make plenty of slots in even increments. Never had a stuck sparge except when i had a crappy valve on the...

I ride, but I dont think it is the same bike riding as the rest you fellas. Anybody ride a 20 inch bike? (Yes that is probably the size of bike that your kid rides) But thats why i ride one, everytime I feel like a kid, and I'm 29 yrs old. I ride mostly skateparks and street stuff, go high as...

made my frist batch with the 32 tip burner this sunday. It is fed by 17 feet of 3/8 hose, which i think helped the burner calm down a bit. also have a ball valve right by the burner, had it turned down quite a bit. the flame was orange and sooty, but it worked very well. Brought my wort (...

What is the best way to get the coffee flavor i desire? I have heard some beans or ground coffee in the sec does the trick. It is a 5 gal batch and im just looking for a moderate amount of coffee flavor, not too much, not too little.

I too brew every other weekend ( 5 gal batches ) Whether the wife likes it or not :rockin:But u know that already Primary: Coffee Stout Secondary: none Bottled: Am. Pale Ale, Vanilla Porter, Brown Ale, Bock Kegged: Cream Soda Coming Up: Haus Pale Ale, Brown Ale, Some kind of...

Wats up from Eagle Ne? Around here these rednecks dont drink it un less its in a blue and chrome can. Been a HB since Feb of 08, and like most, I am HOOKED. A year before that i was your regular big 3 drinker. Now HB is all me and my best friend (nikolausxx)think/talk/do. I beagn with a...

I built the same thing out of copper it works ok, but poorly enough to make me batch sparge

I was worried that it was too much, my stand is very adjustible for the height of the burner. Hope didnt waste some money.( got a good deal )

Where can I get silicone o-rings without going online. Made my own bulkheads for kettle and HLT scared that just stock o-rings wont take the heat.

Just bought a natural gas 32 tip wok burner(155,000BTUs) Havent really seen or heard of anybody using on these. Propane stuff is easier for average joes than nat. gas. Im a plumber so it was cheap and easy for me.
