Relaxing after a busy beer day...bottled the last of a couple of kegs to free them up. Love the ball lock adapter for the new Intertap tower!
I ordered it from Williams when I bought the tower. Screws on and off like all the other spout tips but I don't think it comes apart. But it doesn't matter if you have ball or pin, just buy a ball liquid connector and use that to attach to your Intertap faucet and some beverage tubing.Where did you get that!? I have the crappy barbed adapter, it's pretty much useless.
Can you have a look and see if the ball lock fitting threads off? It sort of looks like it does from the pic. I've got pin locks so if I could convert it that would be awesome.
Never too cold. Just too lazy I think I may do a cream ale this upcoming week and a NEIPA
It is when you need 50 feet of garden hose laying in the snow for cleaning/cooling and at 7 degrees it will freeze fast...
I have a roll of vinyl tubing on a garden hose reel that I run up from my basement directly off my well pump out to the garage for brewing in the winter time. I run the chiller tubing out into the yard creating an ice skating rink. With the cold ground water I can chill pretty quckly though.
What a lucky guy. My wife hates beer, much less brew it! Ha!Marriage is always a plethora of tradeoffs...at least mine is. Husband is off to trade in our two xBoxes on the fancy new one, so I get a double brew weekend. Doing a simple cream ale with Cascade hops just for the heck of it. The Bastard clone from yesterday is going gangbusters in the brew room and I just pulled the FWH from this one, 80 minutes to go. Gotta love a guy who lets me do what I do. Also found a brew supply store closer to my house (and open on Sundays!!) with decent prices. Props to Mt Si Brew Supply for having what I needed and will definitely go back the next time I can afford a full bag of two row.
I routinely do 12.5 LB batches in a HD 5 gallon cooler using 1.25 quarts of water per LB grain. They are probably more like 20.5L capacity not 19L.Brewing our first all grain batch this weekend.
Just the basic Nut Brown from the HBT recipe library.
That is assuming my brew buddy stops at the LHBS and picks up the grains and yeast. Having him do this saved me either $12 in shipping or and hour and a half in driving. Very lucky he works nearby our LHBS.
Going to try and make it work in my 5gal mashtun. The calculators say my 11.25lbs of grain are just at the limit of its capacity. I'm expecting a 10gal cooler in March for the birthday. So I can do some big all grain beers later.
