    Sight glass / Internal etching combo on HLT

    Anyone see a use in having a level gauge on an HLT, that already has internal level markings? Does it seem more precise in transferring strike and sparge water, or should I just open the lid and save a few bucks? Thanks for your opinions.

    RTD PT100 Auber vs. OEM

    Does anyone see the benefit of going with Auber Auber Liquid Tight Auber - does the NPT taper more than typical on these? Is that what makes them liquid tight? Doesn't all NPT threading taper? http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_15&products_id=249 Ebay...

    A couple RIMS element questions for an electric newbie

    Hi all, I am putting together an electric panel: 3 PIDs/3 burners - HLT, RIMS, Boil. Power is 240v, and I will be using 240v 550w elements in the HLT and Boil Kettle. I have a couple (potentially dumb) questions. I will likely use the Blichmann RIMS rocket which comes in 120v and 240v at a...

    DIY Fermentation/Lagering chamber question

    Hi all, I've seen countless DIY builds for wood-framed/insulated fermentation chambers, starting with a mini-fridge. The typical point raised is that you still need another option for cold-crashing/lagering. Do you think using a mini-freezer would fill the need for hitting necessary temps...

    Pectic enzyme necessary w/o heat pasteurization?

    I am starting a cider ferment with UV treated juice and adding sulfites. I won't be heat pasteurizing. I seem to remember that heat treating is what later causes pectin haze. Is this correct? Do you always use pectic enzyme? Thanks!

    Is UV treated apple juice effective at killing wild yeast?

    We are planning to make 25 gallons of hard cider to give away as wedding gifts. The orchard we were planning to go to says that they do not pasteurize, but do apply UV filtration to the juice. I've read many conflicting things about what UV does and does not remove from the equation. I'd be...

    Strange solid layer in fermenter

    Hi all, There is a sponge-like solid forming on the top of my beer. The beer was dry hopped and, as I didn't weight it down, the bag never fully submerged. Could this be a mold growing as a result of this? Does this seem like something that will cause any off flavors in the beer? Thanks...

    Is this mold, or just yeast?

    This one looks a bit different than pictures in similar threads. Little white circles on top of the brew just after racking to secondary. Krausen in primary was quite active. Thanks!
