I ran the beer lines inside 1/2" copper tubing then filled the tower with expanding insulation to the top of the copper tubing. Just wondering if i could mount that fan at the bottom of the tower blowing up. Think 7.7 cfm could be enough to keep everything cold?

I mounted my twin faucet tower a couple weeks ago and used the copper tube method to try to cool my beer lines. The results have left something to be desired. Usually the first pint comes up at least half foam. I found a fan that could be mounted in the hole on the top of my fridge. That way a...

Thanks for the input Yooper. I will have to do some thinking about what I'm going to do with this batch. Have a couple weeks till I will need to dry hop if i do dry hop. At least I know I have amarillo available locally.

I'll probably go with amarillo next time, i know they have it at the lhbs. Hopefully a memorial day brew session. I need to get the pipeline going again with my new kegerator.

Thanks for the response dcp. I'll probably just leave it as is then. My original intention was to use simcoe but lhbs didn't have any. I want to do a few beers using a single type of hop so I see what they bring. Any suggestions for the next couple to use single hop types in an IPA or APA?

I have an oz. of Mt. Hood laying around would that be decent for dry hop? I really wish I would have gotten an oz. of Warrior and an oz. of Amarillo when at the lhbs.

I just brewed this today. It was my first time using Warrior hops so I'm not too sure what to expect. Would appreciate any comments or suggestions for next time. malt & fermentables % LB OZ Malt or Fermentables 88% 11 0 American Two-row Pale 8% 1 0 Crystal 40L 4% 0 8...

What's up with the hansen valves? How do they work compared to the normal valves that you can pull to vent?

I was banking on the free shipping, maybe I was spoiled from the first time I ordered on a Monday and got the order by Friday. I may have to cancel my order and head to the LHBS.

4 days and counting and my order from AHS still hasn't shipped. Aren't there temp agencies AHS could use for the time being to help with the extra volume?

Hey man, just saw this will be putting it to use this weekend on my first all grain. I'm going to use a cooler for mashing. Quick question for strike temp, do you just go a couple deg higher than your mash temp since you are using such a high water to grain ratio?

Anyone out there have a good clone recipe for Shiner Kosmos?

I ordered through AHS before thier 20th aniv and got my order in 3 days. Mind you I live in Dallas. I ordered after thier 20th and it took a few more days. I think the original response is on point with them being backed up because thier 20th.

Thanks for the explaination. Like I said, I will probably have to go that route when fridge space becomes an issue. Hopefully it won't be for a while, I'm getting stuff together to go AG right now. Even though I'm just going with BIAB for a while trying to keep costs under control.

I have seen how to do the slants, for now I will probably stick with washing slurry. But in the future fridge space may put me into having to do the slants. How many times do you have to step up a vial and what size do you use?

Ryan, what kind of equipment do you have. I just followed the video from billybrew.com and washed like that, from yeast cake. This was my first wash but I think I did everything right. In a few weeks I'm going to brew another kolsch and verify my yeast is good to go. If we could get some kinda...

Is there anyone else in the DFW area that washes thier yeast and want to trade some. Only have Kolsch right now but going to try to build up a decent yeast bank.
