This solution is better than I expected. Thanks!

Does anyone know of an adapter to go from a d coupler gas line to a male with barb to connect to 3/16 gas tube? I want an adapter for my d coupler keg gas lines to my homebrew corny keg QDs. I am looking for something to plug into the picture top connector with a barb to go to the 3/16" tube...

Hi, I am attempting a Sapporo clone this week. Does anyone have any water profile recommendation. For my Bohemian Pilsner I usually use 75/25% distilled water to well water but I think for this style I want less soft and more crispness. I see in Bruin water profiles for Pilsen and American...

Wow my reply was confusing. My bad. I meant mango instead of apricot. I split my saison into 5G of apricot saison (oregon puree) and 5G of mango saison (2-3lbs). For some reason I had apricot on the brain when replying. I will try this recipe with the 6lbs of mango. I do find it...

This recipe looks pretty good and I might need to give it a try soon. I did an apricot saison earlier this year and found the fresh mango flavor subsided a lot after fermentation. I actually had to get some natural mango extract flavoring to add it back in. Did you get nice apricot flavor in...

To get this mouthfeel are you fining with geletin or skipping this? Does the fining work against the mouthfeel by stripping out some of the yeast/hops? I know we are not going for clear beer here but wasn't sure if fining would help or hurt the beer mouthfeel/flavor. It would be good to hear...

Interesting idea. I guess I would have an extra 1G of water being added to my 12G (in reality I have 10.5G in the fermenters). So you are suggesting I use some of the RIS in the steep/boil ( I dont think I need to mash given these are specialty grains, but Special B does show a mash is needed...

Thanks Ohrumphf, Thanks! This really helps. I did put the grains and 1.5G of water into beersmith so should change my OG from 1.112 to 1.108. I will do a 20 minute boil with the grains in a bag and then chill this. This did prompt me to search and find this good article...

Well I had over 50 lbs of grain in 5G buckets and would add each bucket to the MLT/16G of water and stir. At the end, I was close to the top of my 20G mash tun and missed the bucket with the grain mill on top of it....

Hi, I made a Russian Imperial Stout last night and while cleaning up today I found a 6lb pail of dark grains I forgot to add :confused:....12G, allgrain batch.....the grains are probably special B, UK pale chocolate, US chocolate, Caramel munich 60, and caramel 80. Fermentation just started...

Wyzazz, I was watching that auction and forgot about it. I knew the last one went for about $152 so was going to bid that or a few $$ above but lost track of time. This 2nd chance does seem very "coincidental" but its all part of the game. As long as you get them for a good price (<$150 vs...

Thanks Wyzazz I have been watching his auctions on Ebay based on the past board posts. His last 2 auctions went for $150 and last week $180. I did see his starting auctions were around $90 a while ago but the word is out on these pumps....Now that the auctions are around $180, the pricing I...

Hi BrewBeemer, I think that is for the 581698 which is the pump head with no motor. I clicked through the link you sent and the 581604 is $273. The 581603 on this site is $286. http://www.pumpagents.com/LittleGiantPumps/581698.html

I'm looking to put together a new system and am considering the LG 3-MD-HC pumps. Based on past posts, there were some great deals on ebay over the past 6 months but not so much anymore. The last two LG pumps (581603) went for $150 and $180, with another posted for $206. I found at a New...

Jaybird, Thank you for the concise, cut through the BS, welding vendor questions. I have kegs to convert and got stuck today on the aluminum keg to SS coupling so your response simplified a possible complex/costly issue, as long as my area welder can handle it. Very helpful post for me...
