    Refill to 5 gallons in secondary?

    I typically have not used a secondary fermenter, glass by the way, but I added a ball valve to my kettle with what I think is called the bazooka tube. It did work pretty well, although the hops still clog it up quick and I had to keep scraping the screen to clear it. When I tranferred it to...

    Refill to 5 gallons in secondary?

    I checked the gravity and it was at 1.008, which is where I want it. I got about 4.5 gallons which is fine. We shall see how it comes out in about a month. Thanks for the quick response.

    Refill to 5 gallons in secondary?

    Am just about to transfer a batch of Irish Red to secondary and wondering if after transfer, should I be restoring the water level to the five gallon mark? Should I add fresh cold water or will adding new water to the mix, mess things up. Any advice is appreciated. Joe

    Burner upgrade advice

    Found one on Amazon that might do the trick. Ironically it is $10 more than the 13" version. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00838V5W8/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

    Burner upgrade advice

    For the Bazooka screen, are they rigid or is there some flex in the item? My kettle is only 11" in diameter so I would need to curve up the last couple inches if possible. Note that I am not doing an all grain setup. I do a 5 gallon extract batch, so during the boil I have 2 gallons plus the...

    Burner upgrade advice

    For me, I think the option to add the legs to raise the unit up will be the deciding item. For the valve setup, what should I use to strain out the gunk in the wort? I looked at the mash/boil screen...

    Burner upgrade advice

    Have been brewing extract five gallon batches for a couple years now. Electric stove and even induction burner just seem to take so long to get to a boil. Am thinking of upgrading a couple components with my tax refund. Have looked at the Blichmann floor burner and the bayou burner. Is the...

    Corny and 1/4 Keg Wraps

    Anyone know if neoprene wraps are available in the corny keg and slim 1/4 keg sizes. Just added a tall 1/4 keg to my keezer and would like to occasionally be able to take it out for a party. I have seen a few sites that have the wraps for the full keg size, but have been unable to find it in the...

    Help with over carbed kegs

    Have a keezer setup and a couple weeks back the probe for the temp controller came out but I did not know it. So for 2 days the freezer was on non-stop and froze everything pretty solid. After about 5 days everything thawed out. On the first couple pours it was quite flat so I threw the PSI up...

    Took a little searching but I was able to find a reasonable pan that is induction ready for a similar price. http://www.foodservicewarehouse.com/update-international/sps-16/p5169.aspx

    Induction Cookpot Options?

    Like the price point but those all are a bit bigger than I am looking for at this point. Looking to be in the 16 qt range. But I appreciate the suggestion. Just finished up my last batch in the mega lobster pot. A British Pale Ale.

    Induction Cookpot Options?

    I do 5 gallon extract batches and have no plans to increase that. So I need an upgrade in a 3-4 gallon pot. I have an induction burner I want to use as the electric stove I have has a small burner which takes a while to get to a boil. I searched Amazon and it came back with a 20 qt from...

    Induction Cookpot Options?

    Well the recipes I use call for 2 gallons plus ingredients. Then add water to get to 5. Still hoping I can find something that is induction.
