Where did you order it from and how long have you had it? I ordered one back in October from Northern Brewer and when I went to use it in November it got water in it and clouded up. I tried to figure out how he water got in so I can get it out and had no luck. I called Northern Brewer a few days...

Yes I got mine about a month ago, it works great haven't had any problems and it makes it much easier to connect a commercial keg without having to swap lines, if you use commercial kegs and ball locks I highly recommend it.

When I filter I use a cartridge filter I got from more beer.com, it was around the same cost as the plate filter and works great. I run mine at about 5psi and it takes about 15-20 min to fill a keg.

Sorry for the delayed response but have been very busy the past few days and haven't been on the Internet. When I build my new system I will probably go with a herms coil in he hlt just because I'm looking at stout tanks and I can have one built into the tank that's SS, but I will probably sell...

I do currently still use my cfc as a herms, I have never had any problems with clogs or anything gumming up on me. I still have not added a temperature controller to the system because it looks like I will be upgrading my entire brewery to all ele tric in the near future and don't want to spend...

I split starters all the time, all I do is make sure it's stirred very good and all the yeast is mixed into the starter and not on the bottom of the flask and then pour 1/2 into one batch and the rest in the second batch, it's not really the most scientific way of doing it but I have never had...

I fill growlers and bombers for use within a few dayswith a hose connected to my faucet or with a picnic tap with a racking cane stuck into it. I have had beers bottled this way last for 3-4 weeks with no issues. I use a beer gun to bottle anything that I know will probably be in the bottle...

I have taken many chilled kegs and then let them sit at room temp with no problems. I would recommend trying to keep the warmed kegs at a stable room temp I one or two kegs go bad that I had in my garage because of the huge temperature swings at temps up in the 90's.

I recently started a new rule that drop ins do not get offered a beer. I live on a main road through the neighborhood and people tend to drive by and see me out there and drop in for a beer. My issue isn't with large amounts of people it's people showing up on brew day or non brew day and...

I have a chilzlla form northern brewer that I use to whirlpool through back into my kettle and it works great, I have never had any clogs and I can get a very nice whirlpool in the kettle, I usually start the whirlpool shortly after I have added the last of my boiling hops and run it until batch...

I have a very large chest freezer that I use to ferment in and almost ways have 2-3 batches fermenting at a time. I usually brew them all the same day and put them all in together and leave the temp probe hanging in the open with a fan circulating the air in there. After giving them plenty of...

My typical brew day is usually 2 batches with 2 different types of yeast. I only have 1 stir plate and what I do is make starters in 2 different flasks each with its own stir bar and put one on the stir plate for a few hours and then whenever I go to check on my starters I swap them back and...

Canister filter is the way to go. If i primary my beer for 3-4 weeks it comes out crystal clear and everyone asks how did i get it so clear, but sometimes i dont have 3-4 weeks for a primary so i use a canister filter and it works really good. I ferment in sanke kegs and if i want to filter on...

I always use a bucket of water for my tank and if i have any hot water to spare along the way i add that to help also a good shaking will help as well, i would like to fine a way tk connect all my 20lb tanks together so it pulls off of multiple tanks to keep them from freezing.

Wow those r a nice set of conicals, i will hopefully be purchasing some 1bbl conicals in the not too far future and those look like exactly what im looking for, thanks for all the info.

This is they way i do it circulate through the cfc for the last few min of the boil and also use an ic, when the boil is over start a whirlpool and using both will really speed up the process. When its chilled wait a 20 or so min for everything to settle then pump into fermenter.

BALLSACK! U should see if someone wants to trade some of those for a keg or two, goin to need some empties soon, this lager is goin to be ready to keg in a week or so.

I have the 10 inch burners on my keggles andit seems like overkill, i cant really turn them up much past 1/2 way b/c the flames start to come arojnd the sides of the keggle, i have melted 2 of the rubber covers on my valves b/c of flames going everywhere. When i changed to a lower psi regulator...

I recirculate through a chillzilla, works great but i do not currently have a temperature controler controling my pump so i have to keep a close eye the temperature. I have done about 20 10gal batches this way and have had no problems with clogging once i have a chance to install my temp...

Im not sure how to get the cream taste in there but would advise against doubling the spices they will over power the taste for sure.
