I have a 24" cane and 4' of tube. It doesn't keep flowing from the start and I have to keep restarting the flow. I had to put the primary on a stack of bricks...
So long as the end of your tube is below the carboy you're racking from you should be able to siphon. Of course the lower it is the easier it is and the...
... I had a similar problem once. What was happening was that enough CO2 was coming out of solution to break the siphon. Increasing the height difference helps...
This week my buddy and I bottled our first batch, I used a racking cane like the one you talk about but I found it very slow and I would have to restart the...
Since fruit is sometimes used in beer, I think this is on-topic even though I personally built this "squeezer" for making wine; it is my own design and I was...
So I have a question - I was wondering if WE could start a Poll. I have been brewing for 3 years now - Mostly Extract with Steeping grains I've been putting...
On Thu, 07 Sep 2006 09:37:07 -0500, Steven Oatley <steveoatley@...> ... I stopped using glass 5 or 6 years ago when I was cleaning a carboy. It was full...
... I've been real curious about using corny kegs for a little while now. I'm not and may never be ready to use the SS conical but I can get my hands on a...
Mike Yeah - I didn't mention Corney Kegs cause I would need a 7 gallon Corney keg to deal with Head Room? How do you get around that I've got 6 Corneies - I'd...
I've been brewing for over ten years now. Although a low volume brewer compared to most, about five a year, I've only used glass and never had a problem. I...
I use plastic buckets for primary and glass carboys for secondary fermentation. Plastic is much more permeable to oxygen then is glass. I cover either one with...
My middle name is "SPAZ" Nothing made og glass, pyroceran,corelle, melmak, even tupperware survives my touch I have been using for years two 6.5 gal...
Steven, I've been using Better Bottles for the past year and a half. I own four of them. They clean up real nice and they are easy on the back for cleaning and...
... Corny kegs for scrap value is incredible! If they hold pressure you could make a fortune off of them. ... A corny keg holds somewhere around 5 1/4...
I have used regular beerkegs( 1/2 B and slim 1/4 B ) as fermentors for more than 2 years now . and have not had any problem getting a clean fermentation. In...

Yodar, after checking out that pot, yeah indeed that's one sweet deal ! AND if comes with that steamer... amazing deal, I was looking at my NorthernBrewer...
Does anyone use anything like a wallpaper stripper to clean their vessels? I would think that steam is better than any chemicals, the heat must kill all them...
A Stainless mashtun is the way to go. I added a circular metal plate (.25 inch thick) to difuse the high flame temperature after having some scorching on the...
as a form of difuser here is a trick I learned in Culinary scool when cooking stock all night. Use a brake rotor between your flame and your pot. The rotor is...
I use a 15.5 gal keg for one of my fermenters. Works great no cutting needed. Twist out the stem take out the ball seal and the stainless downstem off,...
Has anyone injected ozone into cooled wort while transferring to the fermentor? It seems that this may be an excellent way to sterilize the wort especially...
