Sorry to hear that. That isn’t consistent with the order I just placed. I placed an order late in the day on the 12th and it was on my doorstep on the 15th from the California warehouse to northeast Colorado.
You're going to like the Keg Washer.
I measured the post, it's the 3/4" spray ball?
I can't figure this one out. I also measured the post and it's 3/4" but I went with a recommendation here and got the 1/2" (Amazon site confirmed this is what I ordered). I also checked the side of the unit and it has 1/2" SS304 engraved on it.
1/2tsp of white table sugar (or brown sugar) per 12oz bottle instead of carb drops (see my signature for linked thread).
Hi twisted Gray. Should I follow the instructions to the letter ( from Coopers tin) or can you recommend anything else I should do or add
I recommend following the recipe (not necessarily the instructions) the first time you brew. On the next batch you can change/add 1 thing. For instance, my first brew was a cream ale. I bottled half to recipe then added some bourbon vanilla extract to the other half. After they carbed I tasted them side-by-side so I could see exactly what difference it made. FWIW, the plain version was much better fresh - the vanilla version took another month before the flavors melded together right.
Ah thanks for that!
Just looked up their instructions and they are surprisingly good. The only part I'd question is fermenting at 21C. I don't know what yeast they are using but I prefer most of my ale yeasts at 17-18C as it lowers the chance of overflowing the fermentor. Also, the yeast will create their own heat so the beer itself will be considerably warmer then the 'room'. 17-18C keeps it from warming into the range where ester production ramps up. If you prefer an estery stout, 21C is probably better for you, just make sure you have plenty of headspace.
I'd follow the brewing instructions, but I would not use carbonation drops. I mean you already bought them, so you might as well, but know that there is a simpler, cheaper method that works (some say better) than the drops.
Twisted Grey as I'm very much new to all of this and the site. Where would I find your signature method??

No harm, no foul...enjoy and happy brewing!!
1/2" pipe thread is 1/2" inside diameter of the pipe bore, not the diameter of the threaded part. The threaded parts of my 1/2" QD to male NPT has a measured diameter of 20mm to 21mm depending where on the taper I measure.
Thank you, that is very helpful as I am not familiar with plumbing designations/terminology! I can replace parts, but I can't tell you anything about them

Spring will get here eventually!
I saw that sale too late!
That box is in great shape. The last time I ordered a sack of grain, the box was about as pliable as the sack when it arrived.
