It's is 5', had enough to coil had a nice calm whirlpool.

That's what I did, I was not happy that it did not stop all the "flow" of beer when I let off, because of this, I lost a little bit, not a ton, probably 4 oz. out of the batch.

everything I read said 3/4" to an 1". I hope I left enough!

I built a bottle tree and sealed it with a water based polycrylic to seal the wood. I purchased a Bottle Rinser off amazon, worked great! I sanitized EVERYTHING with Star San, siphoned to my bottling bucket, I had 4 1/3 gallons of beer to be racked, so I did the calculation and used 4.3oz of...

Yes it is! Let me know how yours turns out, what did you bottle?

I bottled my 1st batch this last Thursday, the wait is killing me! Taste and color have been great. ABV is 7.99. I sure hope I bottled it right!

Welcome from Oregon!

I'm getting ready to bottle my first batch this week, tested it today, and it tested and tasted great! It was much more clear today, I'm 11 days into my dry hop stage and the hop is still in suspension, my question is, have you used Biofine Clear? I was going to add a few drops tomorrow. I've...

Welcome! What part of the northwest?

Finished and finished ;)

I have sealed it with a polycrylic, it should produce a nice shell that will keep the wood from absorbing anything, if it doesn't meet my needs, I have a nice hat rack or a place to let empty's air dry while they wait to be sanitized. It cost me $10.00 to make (I had everything else but the poly...

I have chosen minwax water based polycrylic

Hello, I'd be happy to email you my spreed sheet template. The "Date" is the date I spot check the gravity to make sure it's it's done and safe to bottle. If the gravity is the same for a few days, it should be safe to bottle (so I've read, I'm also new!) "Sec. Date" is the date I transferred...

The only thing I can think of is mineral oil that won't be chemical filled

I decided that I was in the DYI mood today, so I built myself a bottle tree and ordered a bottle rinser. I'm trying to decide if I want to use mineral oil on the wood, or leave it be.

I have a typo in the image, but it's fixed on the real sheet :)

I am not close to the point of brewing all grain yet, I'm only 2 batches in, being able to test the gravity has helped me greatly. I had one batch test and do great, one that did not hardly ferment. When I contacted NB about it, I was able to discuss my readings with them, I have also created a...

I'm using it with no issue at all, but I came up with my own fix.
