Hi All - I have a Spike CF10 and have been looking for solutions to my kegs/QDs clogging during closed transfers. I dump my pellets in lose and prior to kegging, cold crash at 36F for ~48 hours. I usually do 3 hop dumps throughout the cold crash. I then use a carb stone to carbonate in the...

Hi All - a friend gave me a giant 60oz Pint glass that I don't have much purpose for. I was thinking of making it into a decorative piece and filling it with different grains (like sand art) and/or Hop cones. I've been looking online and don't like the artificial ones I have found. I've read a...

I ordered some 1/2" Full Port Stainless Ball Valves from eBay and when they came, the ball valves look to be a miniature/compact version. The valve says WOG1000 on it, but when compared to the other ball valves I have, it is shorter and the metal is not as thick - it's kinda hard to tell in...

I just pulled the trigger on purchasing a 15gal Spike Brewing Kettle w/ FB to upgrade my mash tun. I only got 1 coupling for the ball valve (couldn't spend anymore on the custom welds). I need to add a recirculaton/sparge arm at the top of the kettle. Has anyone drilled into these kettles...

Is anyone using Bayou Classic kettles? I have a 16G Bayou Classic and I am happy with it. Yeah, it's a bit thin, but the price was right and I like it. I'm wondering what anyone using one uses for a dip tube. Are there any dip tube fittings sold for Bayou Classic? Does anyone have any picture...

Hey Guys - I currently have this Copper MoreBeer arm https://www.morebeer.com/products/wort-chiller-recirculation-package-10-gallon.html but want to upgrade to one built in to my BK with a ball valve. I'm curious if any of you have purchased a whirlpool arm fitting, and if so, where from. I...

I just got a Coleman Xtreme 52qt to upgrade my current mash tun and the plug is not lined with plastic, and instead the foam is present. Is this new or is this how everyone's is? I don't see how it can be used with a bulkhead because of the foam.

Like most, I was looking for a DIY wort chiller. I got a good deal on 100ft of 1/2" SS Tubing and thought it could make a 50' HERMS coil and a 50' IC out of it. I read tons of threads and saw that Kal was able to bend his by hand (even though he recommends buying one already made - and so do...

Guys - I am making a HERMS setup, but want to still use my rectangular MLT. Does anyone know of any threads or have any ideas on the best way to make a re-circulation intake on the top of the cooler? Cheers!

I bought 100ft of SS tubing and made one 50' HERMS coil and one 50' IC. The HERMS coil will stay in place with the compression fittings, but the IC needs something to bring the coils tighter together. I was thinking of using some SS wire, but found harbor freight has SS zip ties. Has anyone...

Are there two different types of orifices for the BG10 burner?? I order this orifice, but after examining the orifice that came with the BG10, it is not the same. This is the orifice that came with the burner. It looks like it has some sort of bushing fitting over it. I also want to use the...

Hi guys - I am constructing a single tier brew stand and have been searching everywhere for info on the plumbing/fittings needed for the gas but I cannot find exactly what I am looking for. I am using a BG10 burner and will be using black iron pipe for the manifold. I also want to have a...

Has anyone ever seen one of these? A buddy got one as a gift and it is awesome! It looks like this 2L keg growler, but it had 2 posts so it could be hooked up to co2 and could have a picnic tap. Been looking everywhere. http://www.homebrewfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/10737.jpg

I'm looking to buy a single tier brewing stand/system in south Florida. If anyone has one for sale, lmk

So, my first batch bottled ran into some problems. I was unprepared, being my first bottling, and did not have enough bottles, 15% of the bottles I had were bloody twist offs (noticed that too late), and my cheesy wing capper seemed to being working against me rather than for me. With that...

Hey guys - first time posting on the forum. I just finished brewing a batch and while pulling my running out of the fermenter, I accidentally submerged my hand in the wort. It may be fine, but I am curious, is there a way to determine is a batch is infected BEFORE fermentation? Thanks guys - Scott
