I am in the process of building my single tier setup and am amassing the supplies. I am going with the most rudimentary setup I can think of. It will be a 3 burner rig with one pump. It will have minimal bulkhead connections at first to keep the price down as there is always room to upgrade. It...

Did it work though that's my question? I have the 25 ft of 3/8 and I would like to use it at frost at last to keep the cost down. Need to keep swmbo happy. I understand the 1/2 is the preferred method but what's the downside of the restriction, just time?

So I have 25' for 3/8" OD copper that I have left over from a CFC build. I am getting ready to build my hex. I am going to be utilizing keggles and hopefully brewing 10 gallon batches. Will the 3/8" OD tubing be an issue if I use 1/2 QD's throughout the res of the build. The only place I see...

I'm about 70 miles south of St. Louis. I am going to need some welding done on some keggles soon. Whats the cost?

Sorry using a smartphone, stupid auto correct. My point is, there is more than one way to skin a cat!

Okay that's your process, and there is.jpg wrong with it. AS Long as the OP allied the mash to drop and equalize to three desired mash temp all should be good. I write my number two starting at the top. You probably write yours starting at the bottom. At the end of the day wetter both wrote...

Don't forget everyone equipment is different as well. What works for some may not work the same for others.

No, adding gains to 170 to allow to equalize at a lower temp won't kill enzymes. If he were to hold the mash temp at 170 that would be a problem. Like i said I have doughed in with 170 before to get a mash temp of 156. The temperature drops so drastically once the grain is added it's really not...

And I agreed with the the fact that 170 would be too high to mash at. I don't understand why the post about mashing at 170 even was made since no one said they were mashing at that temp.

Sounds like the OP is describing a strike temperature of 170 and a mashing temperature of 145-155. I don't think I have confused anything according to the OP.

Yeah you're wrong. I have used 170+ strike water many times with no problem. The temperature of the water isn't really that big of deal as long as the grain/water mix stabilizes within your required mashing temps. If i added 170 degree strike to grain that was like 140 already yeah we might have...

Are you mashing at 170 or is that just your strike temperature? I think depending on your grain bill and the ambient temp, then I could see doughing in with 170 strike to stabilize to about 155-156ish mash.

You could wrap the nipple with a rag. Put a crescent wrench on the valve and a pipe wrench on the nipple. Used to do it all the time with black steel pipe working for the water department. I doubt you will need much umph to get the nipple out. A pipe wrench uses a cinching mechanism to grab the...

What does the pipe wrench do? Have you placed the valve in a vice? I couldn't imagine why you wouldn't be able to remove this with a crescent wrench and an actual pipe wrench.

Okay awesome. I am a DT fan and am thinking of brewing this next weekend. Where is a good place to get beet sugar or should I just use some other type of sugar?

Question? Probably a stupid question. I have never brewed a beer that called for sugar in the grain bill. Is the sugar added to the boil and is the a special process or is it cut measure and pour?

Did this fridge work? Im thinking about buying a used one from cl for like 50 bucks.
