Yea that was my thoughts exactly stealth. After a lucky find a walmart by the woman i got a 11.5" splatter shield. Cut the handle off, cut it right down the middle and pulled out the charcoal filter to stop and stripping. 2 hinges and a handle later and i have a perfect fit. Going to buy a...

Hit the fridge man. Did it ,yself after much debate on the same topic and am damn glad i went that route. A couple cheap fans from walmart, and cheap personal heater also from walmart, and some fancy wiring with an stc1000 and that bad boy has femented 20+ brews with many differnt yeasts and no...

Hey, am in the process of building a "junk yard" rims. All is well with the element control pump sparge arm etc but am having a little trouble with the false bottom. The ID of my tun is 11.5", but heres the kicker, the tank encloses at the top to a diameter of 6". Have been tinkering around...

So .75 gal a minute would be no good for step mashing?

Thank ya. Knew to use a ball valve to slow the speed but just wasnt sure if i should have it pumping at normal lauter (basic igloo all grain set up) speed or what.

Im in the process of designing a rims and couldnt find anything on the speed that the pump should be going at(gph). Any rims guys have a rule of thumb?

Was wondering if anybody has ever bought or used one of these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-12V-Food-Grade-High-Temperature-100C-Water-Pump-47-5GPH-fr-Beer-Brewing-/121342056478?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c408cd81e Already bought one because i hit a couple extra bucks on a scratch ticket...

Dont have the equipment to keg. Thats why im hopeing that i can stop the yeast from reproducing when the levels are low enough to carb but not continue ferm

Anybody try using sorbate? Was thinking of adding some syrup to secondary and tasteing until its a little sweeter than id like then adding sorbate and bottling at the time sorbate is added. My hope is that itll still carbonate but leave some actual maple taste.

I work as a winemaker at a place that makes a couple apple wines. Like yooper said, sulfite and sorbate will do the trick. If you have a way of testing sulfites you want to get as close to 50ppm as you can. Also about a gram of sorbate/gal. Maybe .5gram if its on the drier side. After the...

That is freakin awesome man.

Forgot all about this thread. Gave it a nice long ferm at around 54ºF. After it was at tue right gravity i gave it a gquick 1 day 62 break and then dropped about 5ºF a day till i got to 35. Let her sit there for about a month and a half. Long story short, the besy cider ive ever made. Wish i did...

So a decent helping of carapils then? Was actually thinkin making a small batch of acerglyn and blending it too. When did you add the syrup? Have read that adding it in secondary helps. Not sure if i should do that or at boil. Am planning on priming with it too, any pointers on how much...

Am planning a maple porter. Have read that the maple tends to ferment out and leaves little if any flavor. With this in mind i started thinking that if i used wheat crystal malts it might help the maple shine through a bit better. Am i completely wrong? Only time i ever used caramel wheat was in...
