    False bottom for Anvil Foundry 6.5

    Hey, answered this elsewhere but can here as well. My most recent Imperial Stout had 11.5 lbs of grain using a bag and false bottom. It was full but could still be stirred, it wasn't scarily full where I thought I'd have a mess.

    Anvil Foundry 6.5 threads,all things 6.5

    I did 11.5 pounds of grain for my recent Imperial Stout. It's full but can still be stirred. Bag and false bottom, no pipe. I got around 65% efficiency.

    Name That Skyline - Picture Game

    I guess it depends? If we're looking for small towns in Germany, and it's 1 in 100, knowing a guess is 50 miles away and then consulting a map seems to be not so bad. We'd never get anywhere otherwise. Or we'd have to stick with "New York City" for the hundredth time. Seems like it's kind of an...

    Multiple Concurrent Small Batch Brewing

    That's my go to (a single one, but a 6.5 vs my 10.5 or propane). I aim for 3 gallons after boil, about 1/8 less into the fermenter, and another 1/8 less (for 1/4 total less of course ending with 2.75 gallons) into the keg. I have a few 3 gallon kegs. I like my fermonsters with the spigots on the...

    Stupid Joke Thread!

    There's a movie that could be incorporated as well. Maybe the books are on a road in a scene from it.

    Problems Keeping O2 out of NEIPA (I think)

    I'm thinking a few different ways that could look but not quite sure any of them work. Mind a picture of that someday? I'd give the AA a try as well. I put some in my mash but nowhere after that. Have been curious though.

    Cold IPA

    Interesting idea on the Chico yeast. I've tried a few cold IPA's with lager yeasts and... They end up having flavors I don't care for (which is a separate subject not for here, that I am searching for a lager yeast I actually like). I had been sort of thinking this recipe had to have a lager...

    Problems Keeping O2 out of NEIPA (I think)

    Off the top, the process looks good. Have you noticed if the beer changes color? That's another oxidation sign. Memory would be tricky to ask yourself if it changed but maybe taking identical setup pictures (location, lighting, etc.) a week or two apart could somewhat say. It might not be O2. I...

    1/4" beer line with oxebar keg in regular fridge - Length/foam issues

    If we're at a point where the gauge is reading the keg pressure, you could consider pulling the PRV to completely vent off the pressure in the headspace. Gauge should of course drop to 0. Then give it the time while you're gone for a few days to build it back up (as it comes out of the beer) and...

    how about a meme generator thread...

    OK, that took me a really long time to figure out, but finally got it. I'm not too up on current music.

    1/4" beer line with oxebar keg in regular fridge - Length/foam issues

    Someone may know, but I want to say there's a chance that your regulator could bleed pressure? Depending on where it is. It could be that you actually won't see over 10psi or so if the regulator is releasing it. Do you have another picture of the setup? Or if you're familiar enough with...

    1/4" beer line with oxebar keg in regular fridge - Length/foam issues

    Typically there are 2 gauges, one in the 100's of psi (1000's actually) to show the tank. Then a 2nd gauge to show what the beer is at (meaning what is *after* the regulator). The one gauge I've seen your picture of that was 0-60 is only showing the beer, not the tank. If you shut off the tank...

    Chlorine Dioxide Removal

    Leaving it a day or two to degas seems easy enough. A consideration on boiling is to do it shortly before mashing, it's above and beyond a strike temp obviously but not terribly far over.

    1/4" beer line with oxebar keg in regular fridge - Length/foam issues

    Well, we're all going on the idea that it's truly at the pressure you say. If it's way over then yeah you'll have issues. You could shut the tank off but leave the hose connected tot he keg and let it sit a day. The gauge will read whatever the keg itself is at. See if it climbs. Warm hose...

    1/4" beer line with oxebar keg in regular fridge - Length/foam issues

    Absolutely. It will come out faster of course, but it doesn't do whatever thing it does that turns it foamy.

    1/4" beer line with oxebar keg in regular fridge - Length/foam issues

    Hmm. When I use lines (versus a flow control tap) I'm on the 6mm EVA Barrier's. I run about 15' of line, serving with 12psi. Through a picnic tap it's always been perfect. As an FYI, picnic taps have to be full open, if you try to throttle it (half open) you'll get foam. Seems like you're on...

    So I would like to open a brewery...

    I'm not a fan of "working for the man" but it's nice to ditch work after 8-9 hours and be done with it for the day, or the weekend. Owning a brewery would be like an 80 hour a week job. With a family I don't think I'd be up for that. It's a business for sure, you have to provide customers what...

    RO Water - starting with lower pH

    FYI, this is a good time to measure pH. Prior to this RO water pH is finicky and not worth worrying about. As for 5.34, that seems totally fine. Sure you can dial it in but this certainly wouldn't be a concern at all.

    Must have salts/acids?

    CaC03? Maybe you guys are talking 2 different things? Or, it's not dissolving for you per se but you are getting what you need form it, in that case it could indeed be said to have worked or done the job. Hmm, I'm curious to know what is the disconnect between you guys.

    Why no higher end picnic taps?

    Interesting! Sorry for the not great advice. I had always felt certain they used the same parts. Then again I've only used on, not owned one, and not taken it apart. It looked like the same housing but metal. Huh, perhaps not.!
