Make a tap handle with it!

The report I got lists: CaCO3 - 90ppm Alkalinity - 57ppm So, I guess it depends on where you get your report. :confused: It seems pretty simple to me. Just add more fields to BeerSmith, or make it a drop down selection.

Maybe this is a silly question, but WTF?! If reports provide CaCO3, why does BeerSmith ask for HCO3? Wouldn't it make more sense to ask for the information that's provided?

I just looked for 50 lbs of Briess 2-row: Northern Brewer: $74.50 + Shipping: I Can Wait Flat Rate (Arrives between 10/17/16 - 10/20/16) = $7.99 Need It Now Ground (Arrives by: 10/14/16) = $31.84 UPS Second Day Air (Arrives by: 10/13/16) = $122.81 UPS Next Day Air (Arrives by...

That's just crazy! Next thing you'll be telling us is that you brew your own beer.:eek:

The cited calculator includes the flow rate. As I have always poured by opening the faucet all of the way, the calculations work out about the same as mine. Any time I partially open my tap I get foamy beer. This seems to back up what your calculator says. Slower pours need longer lines...

Those numbers don't match what I get. Using these numbers: 3/16″ ID vinyl tubing = 3 psi/ft 1/4″ ID vinyl tubing = 0.85 psi/ft If using 3/16 line (12 psi / 3 psi per ft) you would need just 4' of 3/16 If using 1/4 line (12 psi / .85 psi per ft) you would need just over 14'.

Yes you need to fully purge the head space if you carb at a higher (20-30psi) pressure. If you don't, your serving pressure will be too high. If you carb at serving pressure, there is no need to purge again. I always do the quick carb. I don't have the patience to wait a week. ;)
