What size piano hinges did you use for the tippy dump? The width and dowel pin size? Thanks

I need to ask a dumb question. Great thread by the way. Why is it so important to use stainless steel fittings instead of brass? In case i'm missing something arent you using a copper tubing in the HLT that has wort passing through? Isn't that contradicting the high importance of stainless...

I just a made an Applewein for the first time and had a question. Is it advised to crash cool it on the last week or placed in a secondary to clear up? Thanks Skip:mug:

I have been kegging my beers for a while now and had great results. The beer comes out of the tap full of carbonation and a great head. I recently bought a counterpressure bottle filler and started filling bottles from my keg. The problem is head retention in the bottles. They dont have as much...

I made a yeast starter and unfortunately i used the wrong yeast. I kept it in the flask and placed it in the fridge for another time. Can i do that or is it bad now? How long can it be kept and what are the steps to re-use it? Thanks, Skip:mug:

Thanks for the replies. I will leave it in the secondary. :mug:

Thanks for the advice. I used to put the probe on the outside of the bucket secured with duck tape. I bought the thermowell thinking it would be better but i will revert back to the old tape trick on the outside. I may try the method of modifying a new lid and drill closer to the wall. Thanks...

Who out there uses a thermowell? I just purchased one and used with a ranco temp control and am not satisfied. I may be doing something wrong. Please let me know? I have a chest freezer(Temp controlled) and put the ranco thermocouple down the thermowell tube and set at 70 degrees with a 1 degree...

I just placed an IPA in the primary and i had a couple of days where the temp was down to 50 degrees which is out of the zone and has stopped fermenting. My question is after i get the temps back up will it start again? Does it really matter how long it sits there out of the temp zone?

I want to filter the junk from the beer before I bottle it to get rid of the sediment at the bottom. I was thinking about getting a 12" long canister filter with a cheap aquarium pump attached and pump the beer from the primary, through the filter and to the secondary. What do you guys think? Is...
