In a recent Zymurgy magazine, there was a hints and tips section that mentioned using a carboy cap and a CO2 tank to start a siphon (or even to push beer...
After i have put my brew into a corny keg, at what pressure should i maintain the co2? two, is c02 required immediately or just to dispense the beer, third,...
I've been doing something similiar to this for a while now. I use one of those rubber carboy caps and a racking cane that I made using 1/2" OD copper pipe....

I too worry about external contact of the long racking hose that I use so as I put the hose into the keg I wipe it down with an alcohol wipe. The type that are...

I've posted the photos of my racking cane setup in the photos section under "Bob O's stuff". To make this I used a 1/2" OD copper pipe, 1/2" ID tubing, the...
I don't get it. How is this set up any different than using the more readily available polycarbonate racking cane. Put one in one carboy and the other in the...
There's one thing that has my interest...Racking 200 degree wort NEEDS a heat resistant cane.. I have no pump. I shall study this yodar Fred L Johnson...
Ever have a polycarbonate racking cane break? I did, at the most inconvenient time, when I was racking and it was on a Sunday night with no place to get a new...

I'm with Yodar, but he did say "fermented" beer, not wort. ////////////////////////////////////////////// What the hell was I thinking? ... From: Joe Strain...
It's all about trade offs. I have some 1/4" tubing and lots of 3/8" soft but at nearly 1/2" it sure can move wort/beer fast. Plus the trub cap (?) on the end...
The tip did specify fermented beer, probably something about an alcohol and copper reaction. I do remember reading in one of my many brewing How-To books that...
... The pH of unboiled wort is about 5.4 - 5.8, during the boil it drops to about 5.2, after fermentation it's around 4.1 - 4.5 or so. As you can see the...
My only objection to copper or stainless steel is that one cannot see if it is clean. This really isn't an issue since cleaning a racking cane is not...

Polycarbonate and Alcohol do not mix at all. We use Isopropyl alcohol at work and the fastest way to ruin anything made of polycarbonate is to get alcohol on...
That would explain a lot. Just one more reason not to switch back. Can't use very hot water or alcohol for cleaning. That limits cleaning/sanitizing to a...
