So this is where I'm at now, I've managed to solve the original problem by using compression fittings alone and re sizing some of the copper. NOW I've got to deal with the inside. I've just done a test run off with some water, and the run off stops at the point where the hole is, not...

yea i've been doing that recently, I realised I don't plan when I'm going to drink my beer, and only pop it in the fridge an hour or so before I drink it. Will definitely start keeping a collection in the fridge and see if that makes a massive difference

I tried the tape after I tried the compression fitting, I'll take it off and try again by really giving it a good squeeze on before I go off and buy some JB weld, pliers et all haha. Thanks for the help, will keep you posted on my progress

That's another thing, is the rubber washer an issue? Will it withstand the heat?

So it seems JB is the way to go, massively preferred to the option of filing down the connector and trying my luck with a single piece of copper through the middle? I suppose I may well end up needing some welding/JB anyway right haha.

cool is it safe to be in contact with the beer etc?

Currently have a problem with my new tap set-up, I basically have a leak on one of the joins. From the pic (see crude diagram below if need be) I have a tank connector fitted through the pot, then a small length of copper (B) fitting this to the tap. The leak is where copper (B) meets...

I guess until I can cold crash I should avoid pellets and stick to whole hops in a hop bag. Lesson learned right there haha.

Yea it's strange, I was told that pellets were the easy solution, that they dropped really nicely, but definitely not the case for me. I'm going to add an 'L' shape piece of tube onto my bottling bucket, so that it almost touches the bottom, maybe a piece of gauze there will work well?

Hi there! I dry hopped my first beer about a month ago. Drinking it this weekend, I've managed to get a notable amount of hop matter in the final product! Basically I ferment in a primary, and then normally bottle off the primary (bad idea I know), which I've had no problems with before...

*standing next to piles of equipment* "can't believe someone left a sock on the floor!"

I brewed last night, and I did what I normally do, which is run the beer through a sieve into the fermenter, but this time I held a smaller finer sieve underneath, which caught a load of the smaller bits of hop. Ended up like algae on the small sieve haha. I shall return to this thread, and...

Either I do that, or I have a bazooka filter that I use an S shaped bend to lay it on the bottom of the kettle. I basically want to set up a filter system for as cheap as possible. I only have a small cooking pot and generally use roughly 20-50g of hops per brew, so figured a screen that size...

have you got a pic of your manifold handy? I've got my tap all sorted, just need to work out how i'm going to filter. Cheers

Hi guys! This is my first post - here goes... I'm planning on making my own hop filter (for fun/save money) I was inspired by this video: But I'm going to change his design slightly. Using #30 from this website...
