Yeast have had many generations of working under pressure. Evolutionary and pneumatic. RDWHAHB.

Thanks for the welcomes back! @Yooper , glad to see you're still around! I'm going to get an electric rig going before brewing again. I've moved houses with this 20G MLT 3 times since I was last on here. It will be hard to say goodbye. @Nagorg Those Spike systems look nice and I have the...

Hi HBT - I've been away about a...er...decade... Good to see you're still here! So I brewed for about 5 years then life happened and I had a hiatus. Now the kid is a decent age and I'm thinking of rocking a few batches. I used to use a cooler for MLT, then 10G full boil on a gas burner...

I, myself, just pulled up the ol' HBT. Going through the subscribed threads they are all from 2008 and back it seems. Hope all is well up in Mass. Let me know when you're comin through the great state of OH again and I can actually be around! I think the price of Natty has gone up to...

Hey welcome to the forums fellow Columbusite!

Bleed off all pressure in the keg, wait 2 days. Then try a pull. The gas comes out of solution but slowly.

I have been doing a 90-110 min boil for the last several beers. Mainly due to having to having bad sparge eff. and collecting almost 10 gal of runoff. I let it boil to a known mark on the kettle where I begin the 60 min boil by the first hop addition. It does help my total eff, plus I usually...

25 gallons since my last post. The last, a bourbon porter, on 12/28. So 29,590 gallons. Let's shoot for at least 35k next year!

Sounds like you're using the integral temp controller. On a fridge, that should work and save the $$ on an external. Without knowing your model and photos it is difficult to say exactly how to relocate it. If the sensing bulb is integral to the thermostat then your worries are few. If that's...

That kitchen is 1000% better than it's predecessor. And the mini-me should be about ready to rack to the real world, by my reckoning. Congratulations on all accounts, keep me posted with pics of the little dude.

Ohio is good, keepin busy. Damn house always needs something! But I have a week long hunting trip in 2 weeks so all is well. Brewing setup is pretty much the same as before with the exception of having plumbing right at the brewery (basement). Pretty similar to glibbidy's. All in all, can't...

Hoppy beerday Jay. Hope all is well in Mass.

Your house is run at around 11 inches water column (iwc) or about 0.40 psi. That is less than half one pound per square inch. The burner is no doubt 10-30 psi. It is a different style burner which is not nearly as efficient but makes a lot of heat in a small area, fast. The large propane...

20,018.5 plus 15 gallons (10 ESB and 5 70/-) equals 20,033.5

Been slackin this year. Only 30. 10,715.5+30 = 10,745.5

Talk about the good old days!

Those little regulators will do the job nicely. Flow rate is not much of a concern for carbing or dispensing. You will be using them near the lower end of the range so adjustment may be a bit touchy but you'll get it. I have the regulators in the 2nd link you posted. Pieces of junk. I'd buy...

Now that's what I call assurance!

"low pressure" in this case generally means 11"w.c. or under (so like 0.4 psi). Usually these are the types of burners used on gas grills, camp stoves, etc. Most turkey fryers are designed for high pressure (10+ psi (or 270+ "w.c.) operation Higher pressure can achieve higher power in a...

35 gallons this year so far, 7283
