I have a question about hop timing. I started using a brewers edge from a propane setup. After my mash process, it takes forever to reach a boil with 6.5 gallons. Almost 45 minutes. I have always waited to hit 212 to add any hops. Is this correct, or can I add hops and count that time as...

Could someone walk through the steps of reading FG on a refractometer? I get that only the OG will be the same as the BRIX number for wort before fermentation. For FG do I read the gravity and convert to BRIX or just read the BRIX side of the refractometer? Then use a conversion table to find...

Mr. Mcknuckle,doing a Thanks for the speedy reply. I think I'll go ahead with the conversion. When doing a full volume mash, do I just need to adjust the water to achive my desired boil volume? Again, Thanks.

If this has been asked, pleae forgive me. I bought a Brewer's Edge a little over a year ago. I have the inexpensive one without a pump. I have a pump from my old ice chest mash tun and was thinking about converting my basket with an overflow tube and stainless steel strainer. Pardon my...

What is the fastest time that you have had in a 5 gallon batch? 3 days from what sounded like a rolling boil (a little exaggerated) thinking the vapor lock was going to pop the top to dead calm for me.

The only washer/oring/seal is in picture 3. These faucets worked just fine on my other shanks on another kegerator. I believe that I’m going to have to get new short tower shanks. My Perlick faucet works just fine on these two shanks. Did I mention that both of my Intertap faucets leaks on...

I just took 2 intetap faucets off of my keezer, that worked fine and tried to put them on a tower keggerator. They both leak at the point where the faucets screw onto the shank. The metal ring in picture 1 hits the bottom of the threads in picture 2 before the oring (seal) in picture 3 seals...

I posted this in the wrong place earlier. All help is appreciated.

I'm not going to get into what I'm brewing, but it's about the only thing my wife will drink. My question is if I want to brew 2.5 gallons from a 5 gallon recipe, is it as simple as cutting everything in that recipe in half? Might sound silly, but there might be something really odd out there...

I have several Corny kegs. No Sankes. Thanks for the input.

anyone have a starting line length for 3/16" line at 12 PSI? I know I'll need to tweak it, but what's a good starting point?

How did you hide hide your temperature sensor? Ideas and pics appreciated. I hate the fact that the temp sensor is just hanging in my kegerator. I was going to drill through the hump and insert a piece of pvc and lay the sensor in it, but I don't want to mess with that. I am now thinking if...

I have a couple of questions if anyone has the time. I just bought a GE 7.0 CF freezer on craigslist for $50. Threw out the old controller and replaced it with an ink bird controller. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0152LYY0I/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Everything works fine. I have...
