    Closing the loop here: I contacted northern brewer about my mis-calibration and they offered to send me a replacement, no questions asked. A+ service.

    Help - Blichmann burner connected to House Propane Supply

    I found another setup using a Needle valve for flame control. Looks like this is just what I need. I'll place this on the end of the flex tubing. http://www.homebrewing.org/Needle-Valve-For-Propane_p_1726.html

    Help - Blichmann burner connected to House Propane Supply

    I've read a bunch of articles on the topic but I'm missing some finer details. Mostly, how do you adjust the flame? Do I install an adjustable regulator on the new flexible gas line? See plan below with question marks where I'm unsure. My plan: T off Black pipe in the basement Add Shutoff...

    C02 Tank empty - Beer Flat - Keg Ruined?

    I went to pour a beer and nothing came out. Looked at the C02 gauge and it read 0. I had 2 kegs tapped, both homebrew and fully carbed and pouring nicely. Fortunetaly one keg was about empty, but the other was nearly full. It could have been on 0 pressure for as long as 5 days. I tried to...

    Popping my cherry - Kit Pale Ale

    so no need to clean or sanitize the primary? just keep on pouring over w/ a new batch? I'll assume you need your wort fully chilled before the pour over as well so as not to kill the yeast, is that accurate?

    Popping my cherry - Kit Pale Ale

    One thing I wasn't sure of is what to do w/ the sludge at the bottom of the fermenting bucket. I chucked it in the woods. I've read that people re-use yeast, I guess I could leave it in there and pour the new brew on top w/o cleaning sanitizing the bucket?

    Popping my cherry - Kit Pale Ale

    Last weekend I racked the Pale Ale. So far so good. No signs of contamination I also brewed a Kolsch from Northern Brewer. I got some new supplies (spoon, strainer) that made brewing much easier. I also picked up 2 used corny kegs for $60/e from LHBS. I plan to Keg the Pale Ale this weekend...

    Popping my cherry - Kit Pale Ale

    good tips so far. thx Lots of suggestions to let it ferment in the primary bucket and not rack it at all. Im curious if there's any down side to racking it? I ask because id like to open up the bucket for another brew this weekend.
