Thanks! I'll be able to give it a test run next week. Hopefully it will heat up properly between regulating flow and HLT temp.

I'm setting up my HERMS system and had some issues with bending the HEX coil. I bought a 20' x 1/2" piece of copper and bent it into a coil. In the process I destroyed 5-6 ft of copper rendering it unusable. Then I found out it was 1/2" ID after I tried to fit it in the compression fitting...

Wow, I just got a brew kettle, pump, and other accessories from them yesterday, all shipped free. Glad I did it then instead of now. The free shipping was what made me choose them for my goods.

I'm planning a setup, I'll take one. Thanks!

I'm in agreement with the previous 2 posts. Wilmington Homebrew Supply is great and it is just what we needed. The shop is well stocked and owned/staffed by knowledgeable homebrewers. I can finally support a local business and not have to go online to get my ingredients due to lack of local...

That was the problem with mine. I adjusted it about 1/16" and now there is no spin off. It doesn't take much.

I'm in!

I'm planning on bottling an 18% barleywine in the near future. It was fermernted with WLP007 and finished off with WLP099. The OG was 1.150 and the FG is 1.019. It has been bulk aging for 4 months, 3 of those on oak cubes. original post here I don't want to take a chance with this guy...

I've noticed the same thing in a few of my dark beers. I saved a few of my first brews and cracked them after 8-10 months and they had a distinct metallic taste that was not there before. They were all grain brews using unmodified bottled spring water. They all tasted great at first and they...

as the screen name says, diving and underwater shipwreck photography.

If I've been calculating things correctly, 1 lb of lactose will add 7 points per 5 gallons, to the FG. As others have stated, your sweet stout is probably in the right place.

This stuff is actually coming along quite well. It's been in the bottle for two weeks so its not quite ready yet. It needs 2 more weeks. I can't really tell what the oysters are adding to the flavor, at most a little saltiness but not much. I really like it, it should compliment our...

My favorite part is crushing the grains. That's when I look at the raw ingredients and I'm amazed at what they can make.

I only used 10 oz in 5.5 gallons based on the recipe. I also added 1tsp of calcium carbonate to the mash to simulate shells, who knows if that is enough to make difference. I'll let you know how it turns out in about 1.5 months.

I'm gonna try both of those fine suggestions!!!

I brewed the BYO Black Pearl Oyster Stout, this seems like a perfectly normal ingredient. My brother in law does a Feast of Seven Fishes every Christmas, he jokingly asked for a beer with seafood in it, he'll either be stoked or horrified.

Your protein skimmer can be sucking in CO2 and supersaturating the water. To see if you have too much CO2 in the water, place a sample of water in a cup with an aerator, if you see a significant pH rise you have a bunch of CO2. That's my poor mans way of checking for high CO2 in intensive...

The same thing comes up in the diving realm also regarding pure oxygen for decompression gases. At most facilities, the medical and weldeing oxygen comes from the same liquid source. The difference comes in how the tanks are treated. Medicals tanks are supposed to be drained and vacuumed of...

I'm pretty sure the tag said 15.1 cu ft. It's an older Kenmore freezer I bought used for $50.

I use a heat lamp similar to ones used in bathrooms (mines red though), placed in a clip on light fixture. I used to use a ceramic heater that screwed into a light fixture but it held too much residual heat after shutting off. It continued to heat the fermentor which sometimes would kick it...
