anybody have issues with the Duotight secondary regulators? I've had 2 spontaneously break (where the cone shaped piece of plastic where the key valve screws into). I've sent a message to MoreBeer's customer support and so far got nothing but crickets. Kind of sucks as 3 out of 6 are bad. Got...

Late start last night as fermenter was grungier than expected. Put together a "Frankenstein-ish" spiced winter ale with ingredients had left over. Thought I messed up in the mash as thermowell was off and ended up with 1/2 gallon less than I planned (still learning the new set). Tossed in some...

I tried to pressure ferment with my SSB Unitank but missed the window of opportunity (but first time I tried so a rookie mistake I guess). My issue was the pressure transfer - was a disaster. Couldn't get anything but foam to flow so gave up and did things the old fashioned gravity way and tried...

Ok so here is an interesting question - I have well water that goes through a sediment filter, UVc filter, and then a softener before it hits anywhere in the house including the water heater. Would it really matter then? (BTW water heater brand new). I agree cold is better, but I was just...

Not sure if this the right place for this, but for folks concerned about customer service issues with SS- I just had the best experience. Finally got to try my 5gal 3v RIMS system and noted that the secondary accessory outlet on the controller wasn't working (not a huge deal as I had the...

The cold is not overly concerning - I have a upright fridge/top freezer that I converted to a kegerator - only holds 2 cornys though that was in a unattached/uninsulated garage in the old house that as soon as the temps dropped below 20ish the damn thing seemed to work in reverse (melting...

So I'm in the planning phase of my own build and have seen folks use 2x6 and 1x6 for the collar - does that really depend on the width of the freezer walls or is the width done on purpose? I'm looking at a 15.7 cf garage ready one that is new so I'm guessing the newer ones have thinner walls...

When I moved to my new home 4 months ago I had the opportunity to jump to a 3v electric system. I haven't used it yet as finally got the electricians in to make the connections but hope to break in the new system soon. Previously I've been propane and extract brewing. I'm happy to finally get...

So as it is said in the martial arts community, a 1st degree black belt is merely an advanced beginner. I'm learning more every day but still do not consider myself more than and hobbyist. Granted I have an understanding wife, a decent budget, and a dedicated space for brewing. Fortune smiled...

ok thanks, yes the three different reports didnt list Sulfate at all. I figured something was off as way to low Thanks Eric, I've looked at the fittings and doesnt seem an easy way to bypass it without some creative plumbing. thanks Beenym - so far 2 batches at the new house - a pumpkin and a...

So I have a related question... I've had my well water tested a couple of times to deal with a pump issue and before moving to this home I had been doing extract kits/partial mash on city water so never bothered to test it. Now that I'm making the jump to all grain with an3v eBrewing setup, I...

Yes send it back - My 3v came with missing welds/rivets on the handles (ironically exactly where the "inspected by" sticker was) so the handle pinged off unpacking it. Sent an email and the replacement was sent out to me within a few days so it was a relatively painless process. Mailed back the...
