You have to lower the pressure way down. I turn it clear to zero, with the stopper and cane in my first bottle, I slowly turn up the pressure until the beer starts to flow. You want the bottle to fill slowly, you should be able to stop the fill process with the stopper and the...

I played paintball for years, when everyone was using co2. I agree with the above post, it was probably overfilled, which is very easy to do on a small tank. Left in a hot car the pressure increased and the rupture disk blew out. A rapid discharge of co2 will produce frost on the outside of...

Yea, Cbus used to be a 3 bar town,, Barley's, CBC, and Elevator. However it has exploded in the last few years. So many choices between breweries and tap rooms that fill growlers. I can't even keep up, the pint room, World of Beer, four string, seventh son, the dailey growler, north high...

I have an e strop on a double pole contactor, I use it as the main power switch. I also run a rims set up. If the flow would go too low, I.E. stuck mash, I could cut the power, usually just stir and scrape the false bottom. I have not had to do this yet. I usually just monitor the flow on...

You wouldn't happen to live in central Ohio? If so, I just got some of the same barrels. I am using them for some cleaning solutions that we blend. The soy sauce barrels rinsed out just fine with a garden hose and sprayer. Even the vinegar barrels have just a little odor with a simple spray...

I have brewed around 50 gallons since April. Mainly consumed between my brother and I. The last three 5 gallon batches have used around 27 ounces of hops. Hopheads!:rockin:

You should, if you start stirring your water heater, washing machine, or coffee with a metal mash paddle or metal spoon while they are on.

I'm not familiar with Kal's schematic, but to clarify, I'm sure the mechanical relay is between the power and the SSR, not the PID and the SSR. Simply cutting off the signal voltage to the SSR would not stop current leakage or a failed SSR stuck in the on position. I'm pretty sure this is what...

Maybe it could be carbed with nitrous.:D

I am part owner of a business in downtown Columbus, I do have a loading dock and forklift available. I know that to order from L.D. Carlson, located in Kent, Ohio, which is where Gentile's and the wine and homebrew shop gets most of their stuff (I believe), you have to have a retail...

Update. After two and a half days of force carbonating, the catty taste went to citrus. I was hoping for this. I bottled using the Biermuncher counter pressure bottle filler, (we don't need no stinking beer gun), and on day 18, had the tasting and beer exchange. I filled the bottles the...

Well, I have to admit that this was a great brew. I think I will adjust the malt sweetness the next time I brew it, but the hop combos are great. I was going to bottle some for a tasting and beer exchange this holiday season, but when I started to bottle (using BierMuncher's counterpressure...

I brewed this using nugget for the bittering additions and simcoe for the middle and late additions. After 7 days in primary, I took a gravity reading and taste. It was at 1.022, and was the best beer I had ever tasted after this short of a time. I was trying to rush this beer through for a...

Do you own any hamsters?:D

shipping code please.

To pitch dry yeast do this.....rehydrate. Take a sanitized measuring cup fill to the 1/3 cup mark or so. Stick it in the microwave for 3 minutes or so until its boiling. As it is doing this sanitize two aluminum foil squares , scissors, a fork, the yeast packet, and a thermometer in starsan...

This is basically my house yeast, I use it for all my pales and IPA's. These are the majority of beers that I make. I rehydrate it per Palmer's how to brew. It has good attenuation and takes off quickly when rehydrated. It also gives off the fruity esters that I like in these styles of...

I have a spare SSR already mounted in my control box, and hooked up to the BCS. Just a few jumper wires from getting up and running.

First off, If I had the domain name, and copyright name, "strange brew", I would surely want to protect it, not because of some lame movie, but because of one of the greatest rock songs ever. The letter sent to the brewery was a standard cease and desist letter printed from the internet...

The residual yeast and sediment will fall to the bottom of the keg. After a while the beer will begin to pour clear. Do not move or disturb the keg. If you could look inside the keg you would see the sediment that looks like a doughnut. The dip tube is pulling from the doughnut hole. If you...
