I'll vouch for the nukataps. Have one, need to replace my other 2 faucets.

Just an update incase anyone ever runs into this... Solved the foaming issue. The flange at the top of the dip tube was slightly bent. I straightened it out, replaced w/ new o-ring.. and no more foam for the ESB. Cheers!

most of the tubing stayed in the keezer, but I did dip about 2 inches of tubing into hot water to get the barb on. maybe I need to wait a day or 2 and hope it just balances out.

Had a small leak around the quick disconnect of my keg. I figured it was the post (after swapping disconnects) so I de-pressurized , unscrewed post, checked fittings, put keg lube on o-rings. Still leaking. Came to realize it WAS the disconnect, but where the QD screws on the to the barb. So...

That would work since anvil diameter is 12.5 (says up to 19) but I’d buy a Wilser bag instead.

Definitely a great LHBS. I go to the one in Anaheim, across from Bottle Logic.

Interesting. Something to look at in addition to crush.

Hey Bobby.. bought all my QDs from you and locline! Love them all. Yea I got a brewzilla false bottom I rigged to fit an inch or so above the anvil valve.

I was thinking about this too. My PH meter is unreliable so what I usually do is plug in the recipe using Beersmith and then use the Brew N Water model for lactic acid addition. I did not do that this time, just kind of winged it since using filtered tap water (my idea was that this was going to...

Sparged for about 20-30 min using the 3 gallons of water... I do use Beersmith but I've been hesitant to commit to an efficiency since my previous BIABs were on the low end, and this one was completely off. Previously I was getting high 60s to low 70s using the Anvil malt pipe before I switched...

Makes sense regarding LHBS. I think I will eventually invest in a mill, but purchase the grain through them. They really are a great resource and I just don't have the space to store a variety of malts (unless I build a shed for the backyard).

hah you make a good point. will do a saison and ferment warm so I dont have to use the Ferm fridge. I'll post my results w/ the dunk sparge!

Thanks, this is the most succinct explanation of a dunk sparge I’ve seen. Will be trying this next brew!

Hah, yeah , glad to have a resource like this I can turn to. Will def try the dunk sparge. Too bad I have to sit and ponder this for 2 weeks waiting for my 3.5% ABV beer to ferment lol

Ah, got it..I don't use flaked corn very often. Just on a couple of specific styles , like this common and a cream ale. thats an interesting idea though.

Might try that. Just to confirm -- dunk the bag into about 2 gallons of water, squeeze into the dunking vessel, then pour into Anvil (kettle)?

hmm, my pre boil gravity was off about about 12 pts from what beersmith was giving me. got this recipe from Craft Beer and Brewing mag and its also saying the OG should be 1.046 @ 72%.

2.17 pounds of corn... 6.5 of 2 row

So this is the first time I did not squeeze the bag... My usual method is to do a full volume, then hoist, and squeeze the ever living S out of it until I reach volume (not using the Anvil malt pipe at all). This time, pulled the bag out, put the bag into the Anvil malt pipe, let it drip...

ah got it. used a refractometer for initial readings... then hydrometer to confirm .. I cooled hydrometer to about 80ish. 5 gallon batch-- 9.5 lbs of grain, mainly 2 row and flaked corn.
