The regulators work great! I also bought the board to mount the regulators on, I’m sure you could DIY that but saved a lot of time not having to pre drill holes, etc Make sure you put them in a place where you can shine a flashlight on them and read the dials, they are very small and can get...

yes, you are correct, I assumed at first that the ones first in the line needed to be the highest pressure, but that’s not the case at all they can all be different pressures which is pretty cool. Like I said, above the main problem I had was the kegs I was testing with already had pressure in...

Did they give you the % of the different grains they used, hops schedule, and/or yeast recommendation?

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I am also looking to replicate NOLA blonde. According to their website they use Crystal and Perle. What did you end up using, how did it taste?

I don't know of any place locally that swaps larger tanks so probably will need to refill. I just paid $46 to refill two 5lb tanks, I gotta think it's close to that or even less to fill one 20lb tank and obviously less trips. I have 3 5lb tanks now, I could probably sell 2 of them to cover the...

I have a converted refrigerator with 5 taps, usually have at least 4 going at a time. Right now I only have a 5lb tank hooked up via line to the outside of the fridge. Trying to cost-justify getting a 20lb tank, is it a lot less expensive to refill 1 20lb vs 4x5lb tanks?

I second the idea of using an Amazon fire tablet, that's what i'm using as well. I think the fire 7 is <$50.

Small update, gravity is down to 1.050 after about 68 hours in the fermenter. Something is stirring in there but it's not super strong yet. I went ahead and just bought 3 more WYL800 packs and pitched them. I was worried about having 2 more days of low activity being bad for the beer while I...

Yeah I didn't really even shake the wort, I just transferred and lifted the transfer tube well above the level of the water/ferm vessel to create agitation. *edit* found some good instructions for yeast starters. I do have a question though, if i'm using the same lager yeast should I grow the...

Hello fellow home brewers! I am brewing 9 gallons german pilsner 1.53OG using 2 packages of WLP-800 (200b total cells) and I am almost certain I under-pitched. Zero activity even if I bring the temp up to 54 degrees ( from 50 ) after about 50 hours. I'm now looking at some calculators and...

I'm interested in your results as well. I have a 5.5 that ended up 6.6 due to some brewing complications I won't get into here. :) I have boiled some water, and I'm going to pour it into a sanitized keg, then purge it with CO2 thoroughly then let it cool and get infused with CO2. I have 2...

For making a 9g batch I am forced to add water after the mash out because the kettle can't hold all the grain and water at once. I have to add water, so might as well pour it over the grains to get a little more efficiency vs just adding it to a more concentrated wort. The other solution would...

I think i'm gonna use a pulley draped over a branch nearby to lift it out, hopefully I can get most of the drainage and sparge water to fall into the kettle after lifting. With a 5g batch it's not a problem, and I don't even need to sparge but I have been doing larger batches which means 20+...

I ran into basically the same problem as the OP today. I have a 14g pot, but I am wanting to make 9.5g of beer, so the water+grain is too much for my 14g to hold if I don't add water. I used an old refigerator grate that rests on top of the kettle after pulling the grains out, I set it on...

I did not end up using a regulator. There is a ball valve at the gas main and another one on the connection point. The male end in pic goes into gas line coming out of the ground.

Nice, I’ll take a look. Thanks for the response!

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a decent kitchen/hops scale that is accurate. Just bought one off amazon and it is complete trash, had to return it, they all kind of look the same to me...

Hmm well at least I can return the washers if they don't work, maybe i'll try nukatap or intertap.... @Bobby_M does brewhardware have anything you would recommend?

Sorry to revive such an old thread but do you know what o-ring you used to seal this? My brand new perlick is leaking when I connected it to a brand new Krome dispense shank. Same perlick does not leak on my kegerator, just on this new shank. I"m reading there are some incompatibilities, just...
