To attach a tube to the airlock for a blow-off, it should fit around the interior post not in it. Tubing for a racking cane or bottling bucket should fit around that and into a jar/cup of star-san. If you don't have anything sanitary to make a blow off, I would place the carboy into a bucket or...

You could also look into a heat stick to help boil a larger volume

Ugh, I HATE driving in/through/near Atlanta... I-85 would be an amazing interstate if it weren't for Atlanta... well, and also Charlotte...

Yes, your hop utilization will suffer if you boil a smaller volume. You will either have to compensate with more hops in the one batch or you could split the hop schedule among the batches. That is only because it sounds like you maybe cant boil a 5g batch in one pot.

You sure can naturally carb in a keg, that will however produce trub and take time at room temp unlike force carving with gas. It's perfectly doable, however that are reasons that so many people force carb in the keg :)

Why not do back to back brews or days and end up with 10g in the carboy? I agree that it shouldn't be an issue to primary 5g in there, but to me it would feel like a waste of space not to put more in there. Worst case, all that extra air might give you some of the quality's of open fermenting?

I just can't keep this beer on tap! I've blown through three kegs of this, the last one only lasted me two weeks (that I was home for) and a party. I used nugget last time and enjoyed the lemon flavor that I perceived and am looking forward to cranking out another batch of this tomorrow. Have to...

I've made cider that clears within a week and cider that won't clear after 3months until I keg and chill for a while. In my experience the yeast seems to be the largest factor in clearing and I haven't used notty in a cider... Yet. Also, I don't recommend using the 3 piece airlocks for a cold...

I am from CLT and visit this brewery almost every week (new brew every Tuesday). I have been frequenting them for 3 years now and have only noticed a slight price increase after they moved to their new facility. Their beers are still priced 5-6$ which I find very reasonable and comparable to bar...

Am I missing something or do I just need to play with my new toys more? All of my normal shanks have a concave cutout that mates with the tap, the shanks I got with my intertaps seem to have a 2" straight bore to accept the spring. Will the spring just end up more compressed when using a normal...

Seems that way, I just got my three yesterday and am planning on actually taking notes and pictures soon. I'm not overjoyed with the quality nor what seems like a mating shank that won't work for me :/

This sight glass may be the gem of the day, but I also did get enough clean nice looking TC parts to make a RIMs tube in either 1.5" or 2"

@brewbeemer you may have gotten some error message on your end, but I got the DMs on mine! Im certainly not attempting to setup a store or "sell" these as a product, Im honestly banking that Ill be able to negotiate a better deal if I buy more of this guy's junk than a measly few pieces. If an...

I had a second hand Spartan keg with a broken handle and wasn't crazy about spending half the cost of the keg on a new handle, nor was I feeling particularly like working with metal so I hired a friend to craft something up for me. This is the second revision and still needs to be cleaned up a...

Given the plethora of CFC options I will just choose one that has never had anything welded/brazed onto the end. Many of the units have clearly never been used while some obviously have. Im not trying to create a battle on the CFCs as I know I can find one that I am confident has never been used...

I'm %95 sure that that chillers have never seen field usage and I doubt that they would be tested with nasty chemicals. Valid concern about cleaning the convoluted coil though and I will look deeper into their lineage before jumping on one. As for the TC stuff, I though that the reason to use...

And baking/scrubbing won't clean stainless steel sufficiently? The TC parts have been used, all of the coils are factory defects that were scrapped for cosmetic reasons from what I can tell.
