Van Dykes Represent! That's me by the way

It's actually a Van Dyke, I only say goatee because most people have no clue what a Van Dyke is.

I have a goatee, does that count?

In my fermenter? Apfelwein!

How much would it cost to ship the 1/2" one to 12043?

Got it all together after work tonight Had to take it apart once due to a leak, moved gaskets around and got it all sealed up. Pretty Standard MLT build 10 gallon Igloo Cooler (Made in USA) 12" false bottom 1/2" stainless valving ended up with just shy of 1 qt. of deadspace

What I am concerned about is when the the water level gets low, not having a tight connection which could break the siphon, leaving more wort behind, thus adding to my deadspace. Maybe I am thinking too much into it and should RDWHAHB

I am in the process of building a 10 gallon Igloo mash tun, I bought a 12" false bottom from amazon a couple of weeks ago, and just got my valving in yesterday from bargainfittings.com. The False bottom did not come with any o-rings, so I sized them up and ordered a couple from...

Seems like the way to go for sure! The last couple of batches that I have bottled, I mixed my priming sugar and beer in an empty keg and used CO2 pressure and a picnic tap to fill the bottles. Saved me time and effort over gravity filling from a bottling bucket. This seems like the next...

My brown ale was running a bit on the cold side, and I am trying to get it done and carb'ed in time for some Christmas sampler packs. The other night I check my gravity, after a week and a half I was still at 1.020, so I checked my temp strip, 58 degrees. The yeast strain wants 64-72...

The hybrid bottle filler idea worked really well I'll definitely be using this from now on! Bottled a sixer of the Dead Ringer and started putting together my holiday packs last night

Got to the homebrew shop last night and got some #2 drilled stoppers, plan on assembling the Biermuncher-BryceL hybrid bottle filler tonight.

Hardware store didn't have any drilled stoppers. I might have an opportunity to get to a homebrew shop tonight though, they should have them in stock.

I like that idea! and I happen to have a bottle filler that never gets used anymore.

I'll stop by my local hardware store tonight and see if they have any drilled stoppers that look like they would work for me
