    Metal/fireproof probe for STC-1000

    Wasn't sure where to put this, sorry if wrong section Rebuilding my brewstand. Would like to integrate a main control panel for gas valves and temp read out. Figured the STC-1000 would make a good read out for cheap (not going to control anything, just read temp). I would run these probes...

    Anyone added a tee fitting on their liquid line?

    I'm trying to come up with a different way to bottle my kegged beer thats actually convinient. Currently, I have the bowie bottler, and due to the height of the faucet, it's actually a pain in the ass. It's a great system, it just doesn't work the way I set my faucet system up I was thinking...

    Issues with lautering with a pump

    Can anyone tell me how long it takes them to batch sparge a 10 gallon batch using a pump? I'm hitting the 1 hour mark and just now finishing up. It seems as though if I open the valve any more than a trickle it goes well for 2 minute and then compacts. At this point all I can think of is...

    Is it still good?

    So, I was randomly browsing the free section of craiglist when I saw an ad for 10 free 1/2BBL kegs that were going away. My girlfriend was nice enough to go check it out, and 9/10 of them were claimed by a recycler, with the 10th being left as it was still full and the guy didn't know how to...

    Learning the ropes/Show me what I'm doing wrong

    My first beer attempting to use anything but tap water is probably going to happen next weekend. Most likely Biermunchers Oktoberfast. I'm using the EZ water calculator and just want to make sure I'm doing it right, the entire water supply I'll be using will be Deionized...

    Brewing using de-ionized water

    So, i totally forgot about the massive de-ionized water filtration system I have at my work, but now that I remember, I'd like to brew with it. Not a lot of info in reference to de-ionized water and brewing. What I've found is that it a little overboard as far as water purification, but I have...

    How to disassemble perlick 435

    I'm normally pretty good with Google, however I'm failing today apparently. I have a MASSIVE leak coming out of my perlick 425. Its coming from the piece of metal that screws in directly to the tap. I see 1 accessible oring which I have replaced with a new one, and its still leaking like crazy...

    My Immersion chiller makes me sad

    I have a 45ish' 3/8" immersion chiller (the copper was free) and I've gone ahead and plumbed a pump with a recirculation port in my keggle to recreate Jamil's IC setup. Still, with a 12.5 gallon post boil, it takes upwards of a half hour to chill to pitching temps. Ground water is usually ~70...

    Thoughts on fan for hood

    G'morning Recently received a blower motor I'd like to use for a hood for the brewery in my garage. Not really needed but during the winter I'm sure it would be nice to be able to close the garage door. Anyways I've attached a picture. Spec say it spins at 1650 RPM, would that be enough...

    CFC hose used at 140* for strike water

    I'm trying to reduce my brew day length, the easiest way I can see at this point is to run HOT water to my brewery, which currently consists of only cold water from a hose. This will allow me to start with hot water for the strike/sparge water, as well as let me clean much better since I'll have...

    Dry hopping with home gorwn hops

    I've dry hopped beers with store bought pellets a few times with no extra prep aside from opening the baggy and dropping them in there. They typically come from vacuum sealed bags. We have some Chinook that was ready before we were, and we haven't gotten a vacuum sealer yet. They are sitting in...

    School me on LLC

    Usually use oxiclean or PBW to clean my lines. Being out of both I grabbed some LLC. Directions are 1/2oz per gallon. Circulate for 5 minutes. Can I get away with using a gallon for 2 ten foot lines or should I not be a cheap ass and just make a keg of it?
