Thanks for that info. I use Brewer’s Friend but I can adjust my boil off rate in the software which should do the heavy lifting for me with respect to the math. I’ll have to adjust my water additions as well, but that shouldn’t be a big deal. Most importantly, I’m glad to hear you haven’t...

Thanks for your reply. Like you, I will only be using the steam condenser on the boil kettle. Since the steam condenser decreases the boil off rate by roughly 50%, I’ll need to adjust my existing recipes and start with less water in order to hit the expected gravity. The Breweasy is a RIMS where...

I recently purchased the Spike steam condenser for use with a 20 gallon kettle (Blichmann Breweasy - BIAB). I haven't actually used the condenser yet other than for one test run to determine the boil off rate. Just wondering if any fellow BIABers are experiencing any issues secondary to the...

I have a 10G BrewEasy, and my pump failed while I was midway through mashing. It was the second time I had used the pump, and I too had the original (black) impeller. I sent a couple of photos to customer support, and within 24 hours they sent me a replacement (brown) impeller, an all-metal...

If anyone is looking for an economically priced stir plate, you can pick one up for $45 from Adventures in Homebrewing. I purchased one last week, and I'm very satisfied with it. The guy that makes the stir plate - Dan of Stirstarters.com - guarantees it for life. Here's the link...

I've been doing BIAB for two years. I started with a 10 G pot but later upgraded to a 15 G. You should start with the 15 G pot. If you decide to brew larger batches and/or a high OG brew you'll be glad you have the larger pot.

Here's a link that may give you a more precise answer. Of course your mileage may vary... http://hubpages.com/hub/Calculating-How-Long-Your-BBQ-Propane-Tank-Will-Last

Thanks tmm0f5, that looks like a simple solution.

Thanks for the response TrickyDick. You'd think they'd include cleaning instructions with the product, but no such luck. I do have one spare keg, and I used it to backflush into the filter assembly. While it did get some of the crud out, it would have clearly worked better if I had a...

Hi all, I recently purchased a beer filtering kit from Morebeer. Here's a link to the product: http://morebeer.com/products/beer-wine-filtering-kit.html I transferred/filtered beer from keg A to keg B, but now I'm wondering how to clean the beer filter tubing. There's a QD on both ends...

count me in!

No need to decrease pressure after 1-2 weeks. 10-12 psi should be a reasonable serving pressure assuming line length of 10-12 feet.

Thanks for all of the helpful input. A day or two before I leave I'll disconnect gas and faucet quick disconnects and then watch poppets for any leaks. And yes, I realize a kegerator in the living room is asking for trouble, but it's darn convenient and it's a much cleaner environment than the...

Thanks DrunkleJon. I'll follow your protocol.

Thanks for the input. I'm just trying to keep the wife happy, and a major keg leak would kill any enthusiasm she may have for my new hobby.

I'm going to be away from home for several weeks. I'm relatively new to kegging, and I currently have a three faucet setup in my living room. My concern is that one of the kegs and/or faucets could develop a leak and I could come home to huge mess. Should I disconnect the gas/beer lines, or...

Ok, I'll check the pressure again at one and two weeks respectively to satisfy my curiosity. Of course I'll be sampling the beer throughout the process, but it's definitely "drinkable" now.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful input. I disconnected the gas supply for ten hours, then checked the keg pressure this morning. It was 9 psi, so I'll assume that reading represents CO2 at equilibrium and I'm slightly under-carbonated at 2.2 vol %. Still, that's not too bad for only three...

I'll disconnect it tonight and check the headspace pressure in the morning to see if it still reads 12 psi.

Yes, I vented it several times, then chilled it down to 40 degrees with the pressure set to 12 psi.
