Folks - DeCarbing is not a myth. It is highly necessary for extracting the THC and CBD in a way in which it is it's most powerful. Without it your final product will just not be as good as it can be. I worked with a company last year that was attempting to storm the cannabis world with a...

@ myndflyte and @Gnomebrewer - great minds think alike. This is my first stop. life member at brewersfriend - that is next stop. Then off to the internet. Was hoping someone just had one done recently...

Hello all, I hope that this post finds you and your family well with this ordeal. I need your help. Please. I have made a decision. I am moving out of the SF Bay Area finally. Been here for 50 years now, and sadly it has changed way too much in the wrong direction. Thinking of: Bend OR...

I found their paper too.

Just picked up on this, and would love to talk with these guys someday. It will be interesting to see how this plays out... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/physics/extreme-temperature-and-pressure-remove-an-entire-step-of-the-beer-brewing-process/...

It is the barb itself - bacteria etc can develop inside the tube behind the first row of barbs... at least that is what my friend who does brewery inspections says.

Nice - OK - it makes much more sense now... lol Your first picture just threw me to thinking you were using a chugger pump to push into the keg. However I can clearly see through this photo series you have a totally different setup. How did you solve the oil leakage from the air compressor...

lol - nice... gotta love it Another example of Patience and Determination at work. Wanna make me one? lol jk (already bot a 3roller from MM then returned it for a 2 roller helix)

You could always send me an email? lol I was about to send one to your comcast inbox but I don't think you use that anymore... use my gmail.com inbox - I want to see the house et al

Yes - the 1/3 hp pump is more than enough for a smaller than 15.5 keg which is what I use too, still. You can clearly see from my tests that the chugger will just not get it all the way out the top of the tube enough to coat the entirety of the keg... Open coupler? Not understanding that...

Please see my post on this subject as it should help you understand what kind of HP you are going to need for your pump. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=511681 That chugger is just not going to do it if you want to invert the keg to clean it. You can do the cleaner(pbw)...

Doh - my bad Ecuador... sorry about that. That sounds like so much fun - very jealous of you being able to redo your house! Send me pics on PM? Or start a thread yet? Try upping the amount of nitrogen those things feed on - that should help with the growth. Nice to hear that growler went to a...

Holy Snitzengruben! What a build... wow. Nice job man, nice job.... Very jealous of your machine - is that your shop or your home?

I did in my sparge arm... lmao Been saving up for a vfd pump instead! I took some time off of brewing for about a year and in that time I didnt do s*** on my systems. When I came back the first thing I did was upgrade my water filter and finally upgrading to Tri clamp now. Thank you for doing...

Hey all - I have updated my Dropbox account and so the pics should work again. Also - I have finally (more like remembered) done a Parts List for you all. LINK
