Anyone have luck with draft line balancing formulas? Bumping previous post.

Hey There, I'm wondering what people ended up finding with the draft line formulas. I am looking to mount my taps 12 feet above my kegs and will keep my kegs at 13 psi. With the formula below its telling me to use 15' or 5/16th tubing (which gives .40 psi resistance per foot). Does anyone...

The hops wil absorb a good amount of beer ao you should have room. That being said I would just get a 6 gallon carboy and purge it with CO2 before racking into it. Then you can use it as a primary too if needed.

I wouldn't bother opening it unless you want to check them out, a build up of CO2 will not effect anything.

For future batches it would be good to have some DME on hand. You can take pre-boil readings an see if you are way off. If you are you can calculate how much DME you need to get up to your target.

The type of beer doesn't really matter however if you do a low gravity recipe you will be able to get most of your fermentables from the partial mash as apposed to a higher gravity. If you get into using wheat, oats, and other adjuncts with no hulls consider using rice hulls.

How is the quality of this pot? I am looking at getting a 26 gallon kettle and their 102qrt seems to be a pretty decent price. I am looking for a heavey duty kettle that is going to last a really long time.

My batch is pretty tasty as well. I think it could use a few more IBUs to match up with the tumbler but it's still delicious.

Im brewing an 18 gallon batch this on Saturday: 30.0 lb Maris Otter Pale Ale Malt 3.0 lb Crystal Malt 90°L 3.0 lb Smoked Malt 1.5 lb Chocolate Malt 3.0 oz Challenger (8.0%) - added during boil, boiled 60 min 1.5 oz East Kent Goldings (5.0%) - added during boil, boiled 15 min 1.5 oz Challenger...

I believe the 328D is the largest they sell and has three rollers. Spend an extra $30 and you get a base and hopper.

Me and my brew buddies purchased this mill and experienced the same thing. What I saw was that grain was getting lodged between the top free spinning mill and the hopper. I used a butter knife to clear it out. In the future I think I am going to try and throw a washer or two between the...

Thanks for the input guys, sounds like I might not be able to get this done to brew on Sunday unless I can get a shop to bend it for me. I got 5/8 tubing since that is the OD of the copper tubing I already drilled my false bottom for. I did read a few things on filling them with sand but not...

I ordered a 3 foot section of stainless steel tubing to make a new dip tube for my mashtun (and HLT) and I was wondering how I should go about getting the 90 degree bend in it. I will need to go from my ball valve through my false bottom. The tubing is from McMaster-Carr and it's part number...

Are you not carrying leaf hops anymore?

A quick easy solution to a clogging auto-siphon is taking a sanitized paint strainer bag (don't get ripped off by buying those mesh bags as the LHBS) and putting it at the sucking end of the siphon. It will keep everything out nicely.

this is really interesting stuff.

If you don't trust your thermometers test them with boiling water (212 degrees) and an ice bath (32 degrees). Then you should know.

Can you get Amarilo leaf hops?

I wouldn't let the fact that you only have 1 burner turn you away from using a keggle as a Mashtun. I just insulated mine nicely and I don't lose much temp at all. Plus I am working on a RIMS so I can controll my mash temps even better. I just think you will outgrow the 10 gallon cooler.
