Any Canadians out there that can recommend a fridge for the brewmaster edition? It seems the danby beverage cooler is not deep enough (I tried, only 9.5in from compressor hump to door, and a 4.4cuft Danby mini fridge can just barely fit a bucket with the door material cut off (10.5 from...

Have you experimented with smaller flameout/whirlpool additions?

Has anyone replaced the ball valve with something more sanitary? I wanted to be able to utilize the valve for sampling as well.

Yeah I really don't think the pumpkin does much. I roasted two pie pumpkins and ate a little when making my pumpkin ale and it tasted like nothing at all. It might be better to throw in some sweeter squash if one really wanted but the spice is all you need.

Sorry, I have done a bit more testing, not sure what changed but it appears the second pours are pretty much fine now. Think I just need to install some cooling tubes in the tower.

Whats a decent seconds/pour time? The default of 10?

Isn't this the equation for length? L = (keg_pressure – 1 – (Height/2)) / Resistance I think I figured the issue was the tower needing cooling.

I have a dual product regulator for each of the kegs. And using that calculator tells me the line for the ale is more than long enough, and yet it still is around half foam when I pour a glass. It appears 8psi should be a fine serving pressure, could it be a regulator issue or something?

It came with these which I am pretty sure are decent enough taps.

Not very long, the hefe was at 40 for one day and 20 for 2 more, the apa was 20 for one day and 10 for 2 after that. Thats what confuses me about the line balance, my 6 foot line should be longer than needed for the apa and thus the fill pressure should be quite low no?

The bubbles are very small, yet it is surprisingly not in my hefe but the pale ale. This morning when I looked into the line the bubbles must have combined to form one large air pocket so that could definitely be reason for issues.

I looked up how to balance a keg system and saw that longer lines can solve the problem. Yet won't the optimal line length change with each different beer? L = (keg_pressure – 1 – (Height/2)) / Resistance = (12-1-2/2)/2.2 =5ft, so I have a bit extra hose for the hefe =...

The hefe was set to 40 for 24 hours and then 20 for about 2 or 3 days. I have the fan blowing that way but would need extra wire to get it near the tower as it is at the bottom pointing upwards now.

Sorry guys, I know this has been asked 1000 times but I am having some issues with my newly setup kegerator. It was a kit from a brew shop for a mini fridge, so it has 6 foot 3/16 lines with 2.2psi per foot loss. Kegerator is set to 38f. (I tested this with a waterbottle in the fridge)...

It was cold crashing for over a week previous, but I will give it some time and hope for the best.

Not sure what i'm doing wrong but I haven't been able to nail this beer yet, first attempt it had an aftertaste and the second time I brewed it it seems to taste overly bitter (this is before carbonation as I just threw it in a keg) Not sure whats going wrong, the first time I didn't temperature...

Hey guys. Made a yeast starter probably 3 weeks ago for a heffe. Took most of it and pitched it. But took the little extra wort which was left and through it in there with the last bit of yeast. Anyways its been in the fridge since then and around 4 days ago I decanted and stored some in the...

Brewed this a little over a week ago, realise now that I must have cold crashed it after like 6 days, for some reason I thought it was longer but the fg was at 1.008, think it will be alright or should I try taking it out of the fridge for a few days and then cold crashing again?

I guess it's not make or break. The 40Q one at my local restaurant supply seems nice because it's not nearly as wide as the 60Q one, but everything I have read has people recommending going for a 60Q pot over a 40Q pot for doing BIAB and 5 gal batches.

Hey guys, Looking to upgrade my old dented to all hell turkey frier to a proper brew kettle for outdoor brewing this summer. Only problem is that there aren't too many cheap options that you guys have south of the border. A concord pot ends up costing me around $150 due to exchange shipping...
