    What else do I need to buy with Chugger Pump

    Well I'm lucky with the pump. The local HBS does a buy 6 things and then the 7th is 10% off the total of the first 6 purchases. Well, I spend a lot of money there so the pump will be about $90 instead of $150. I will take a look at the plugin. Not a bad idea obviously.

    What else do I need to buy with Chugger Pump

    Now Im really going to start bugging you. :) Im looking on brewers hardware right now. What parts would I need? The 1/2Cam Lock Cam and Groove Adapter X 1/2" Male NPT and 1/2" Cam Lock Cam and Groove Adapter X 1/2" Hose Barb? The prices aren't bad. Thinking about ordering them now.

    What else do I need to buy with Chugger Pump

    I have the barbs for the kegs but not the pump. I'd love the camlocks and will get them eventually. I would need them for the kegs themselves and the hose correct? And how much do they usually run? The HB store doesn't have them.

    From Keg to Growler Carbonation

    Thanks Wilser. I haven't chilled the growlers before. Maybe that will help. I use the plastic caps. But I will try the rest this time.

    From Keg to Growler Carbonation

    Ok, I searched and could not find a thread addressing this. What is it, if anything, that tap rooms use to fill growlers that causes them to stay carbonated for so long? I have picnic taps on my kegs and I've just gone strait to a growler with little success. Also, I've used a length of silicone...

    Combining 05 and 04 in a Milk Stout

    So, I just finished crashing a milk stout. Already pitched a dry pack of 05. I have 3 jars of 04 I harvested from a porter last week. Already made a started about 26 hours ago. Do you think its ok to pitch both yeast in a 5 gallon milk stout? Thanks for the input. This site pays for itself everyday.

    Mash Temp Measurment

    Hmm, I stir the hell out of it. Perhaps it just needs a bit more umph. Thanks Yoop.

    Mash Temp Measurment

    So I was wondering how you all take your mash temperature. Where do you put the probe to get your measurement? I get different readings depending on where it is. Obviously hotter up top and cooler near the bottom. Just trying to get a consensus. Gracias and Cheers!

    Grain Issue

    Thanks everyone. I did call to double check and they did indeed give me crystal. But no worries.
