I regularly ferment Notty and S05 at and around 56-60f, no off flavors or fermentation issues reaching fg(big beers, stouts, pale ale, don't matter) . That being said, overpitch if at all possible for fermenting cooler on the yeast range. And i always ramp up temperature toward the end of...

How old is the regulator? Mine(old enough to vote in most states) was doing the same so i changed the manifold gasket and it fixed it. Not saying that's entirely what's going on with you but something to look at.

Yes and it turned out crystal clear (Cold crash in keg)

Phone number in the photo, this one is by me for sale, looks like a14 gallon. Eastern iowa

Entered, never used this yeast yet

Id agree crush and sparging method(to your system) probably matter more than stirring. That being said i stir at dough in till it's smooth and no dough balls left, lid it and don't touch until there's 20 minutes left in the mash(60-90 minute mash don't matter) I've found if i don't stir in the...

Look, twins! Im still waiting on the gas side bulkhead from hopgoblin....I recieved an order confirmation but not a shipping email, oh well it should arrive soon i hope. Im debating about putting the gas past under the top carry handle and likewise with the second one, that way i can decal...

Latest issue of Zymurgy had a low key version of this, i modified with the manifold and handle carrier. Also got a gauge gaurd on order. Im making two of those beertenders, figured this would come in handy for them.

It's stellar! I found that 2lbs per 5 gallons in secondary for about 10 days was money. Did you a batch with 5 lb and the same amount of time but was too much, tasted almost too grassy or vegetably. Also the rhubarb tartness and flavor got more pronounced the more it aged which I almost...

Couldn't some flexible silicone hose that slips over the taps themselves work? Granted, not alot of pressure can be used.

Most saisons are boring imo unless spices or fruits are added. Acid malt? Ive done a Rhubarb saison that was killer, the 'barb added a nice tartness that blended well with the style. Now i save all my rhubarb for beer, not wine.

Marketplace or Craigslist is wonderful for bigger tanks on the cheap a lot of times you can get them for even less if you buy a lot of equipment and sell off what you don't need / want and just keep the tank. Also good to keep in mind is expiration date of inspection on the tanks I believe...

There is such a thing as renting tanks, local beverage grade supplier rents 20# tanks for $2 a month. They also sell them for a lot more. I think it just depends on your area and your supplier. Although i do agree to find a tank to buy if possible and fill from there, bigger the better...

Thanks for the help, will be posting pictures when the build gets done.... just curious what do you call this unit? Im learning toward BeerTender

Is there any need to use liquid nails or equivalent between the two coolers under the ring that is siliconed in? Not sure if this is over thinking, just want to to be sturdy and top cooler not to swivel. As with any project, is there anything you would change or do differently?

My variant of this was using the original grain bill but replacing flaked maize with frozen(thawed) sweet corn. 90 minute boil .75oz cascade at 60min 3oz cascade at flameout Superb! Even the non craft beer drinking snobs i had over loved the beer and the keg got kicked in no time. Probably...

John, was the gas keg post assembly a bunch of pieces you put together or a kit you found? Do you have a parts list for everything in that assembly? Thanks Looking at all sorts of other options but there's no point in Reinventing the wheel on this one

I have seen those pancho coolers, if looks mattered more than money i would get one. Wouldn't there be a lot of headspace over they keg with one of those though?
