I've been eyeing them up for a couple years too. I've seen pictures of a few systems where these were sitting in the background being used for fermenters. No...
Ok this is an easy project. In fact someone has a write up on how to do it. His build makes it very cleanable. It all breaks down into it individual parts. ...
John, Please could you submit your url to TINYURL.COM to compress it. i have failed to resolve it here yodar ... From: John & Stacy LYNCH <nwcw2001@...> ...
I am moving to the world of kegging slowly. I have a get together that I will have many young gentleman to serve my homebrew to. Instead of going through all...
Good plan. It will work better if you chill it first, but if that is not an option you can force carbonate warm beer. You'll need to use a higher pressure to...
Absolutely, I do this quite often. I hate bottling, and have a collection of about 12 corny kegs at this point (I have to keep 3 people's kegerators stocked...
Hi Dan- I've done this before. Go ahead and put your corny in the trash can with the ice early in the morning of the day of your event. Give it an hour or so...
From time to time, especially during quieter periods of activity, I like to let members know about our groups. One of our groups also recently changed names...
I have been struggling with this same problem for a while, using my converted keg. Most recently, I used a stainless steel "chore boy" (scrubber) on the end...
I had the "outlet" bored out so that it would accommodate a piece of standard 1/2" copper plumbing. I then made a loop that was cut in half with a sleeve at...
I have an equipment idea that I will try during my next brew session, but thought I'd ask for some comments first -- and maybe someone has a better or easier...
Probably not a better idea but maybe easier. Why don't you fill your kettle through the filtering cloth and remove it before filling returning the runnings to...
I really like using a Burton Union to recover blowoff whenever I do a big brew (1.080+). I've been thinking that this may be easier to do using a Better...
... Thanks, Bob. I like your first suggestion best. I'll use a clean handerchief and a rubber band on my tube and see how well that works. Cheers. Bill Velek...
I think a clean hanky may be a bit too fine. I could be wrong but I'd think two or three layers of cheesecloth would work better for flow. Probably not nearly...

Okay I'm considering making a hopstopper type screen. I've been having some small issue of my SS braid intake on my keggle plugging up from the whole hops and...
I would actually open the valve during fermentation so that the reconstituted wort can flow back immediately. The reason this works is because the return line...
Hay everyone I brew with (2) 5 gallon water coolers and then boil. My question is what can I add or change to keep my beer from being cloudy? My last two...
Are you fining at all? What yeast did you use? How long do you let it ferment? Do you chill it before racking? Is there anything in your recipe that could...
whirlfloc or irish moss added during last 10 minutes of boil also COOL IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE otherwise the cloudiness you see is CHILL HAZE which is...
 bob i used whole hops for the first time after harvest this year. plugged everything, someone on herre said to grind them in a coffee grinder and they would...
Thanks. I'm still going try to make a DIY hopstopper because I think it would be easier to use it versus grinding all of my hop adds for a brew session. It...
1. use whirlfloc or irish moss at the end of your boil 2. crash cool with a chiller after the boil 3. let your beer sit atleast 3 weeks, if not more, before...
I would think that blow off could contain a different balance of yeast, alcohol and unfermented sugars than the rest of the wort and by adding it back in would...
This too won't help your project but I use the biggest straining bag for my hops and a bazooka screen. My straining bag is weighted down by a few ss bolts and...
I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't just use a hop bag as well. I've heard that the utilization is a little lower than just throwing them in the wort but I...
Is hops toxic to dogs?? David's iPhone says hi! On Dec 6, 2008, at 4:14 PM, "Bob O." <Brewing@...> wrote: I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't just...
