    Co2 Reg - Low Pressure Gauge

    The tank blows with the reg off. Crazy thing is i took the reg apart and all looks good, put it back together and.....nothing.

    Co2 Reg - Low Pressure Gauge

    Lightly used, practically brand new. High pressure reads gas, but low pressure gauge does not move and reg does not release gas. :confused:

    Co2 Reg - Low Pressure Gauge

    Hello HBT! I have a fairly new Taprite dual gauge reg that will not dispense Co2. The high pressure gauge indicates pressure in the tank, but the low pressure sits at 0 even after opening the regulator wide open. I opened the reg and took everything apart and all seemed to look "ok". I even...

    California Jaybird Custom False Bottoms for 10gl Igloo

    I dont have the false bottom in front of me, but it's fitted for the Homedepot round 10gl cooler. There's probably an 1/8" gap between the false bottom and the wall of the cooler. It's made that way so it doesnt scratch up the tun when taking it out for cleaning. And the bit's of grain that do...

    American Prickly Pear Wheat

    I just did another split batch with my base wheat recipe and did 5gl w/ S-04 & 5gl w/ S-05 and leaning toward the S-05 after 10 days in the primary. This round I defrosted the prickly pears and dropped them straight into the primary. The carboy with S-04, added about 8 fruits, the carboy with...

    American Prickly Pear Wheat

    You will be surprised how flavorful the fruit is in the beer and the tartness i tasted from early hydro samples quickly mellowed. Hard to say how yours will turnout since your processes are completely different than mine, but sounds like a much more mellow approach. I was originally shooting for...

    American Prickly Pear Wheat

    I think this method would create the perfect balance between the fruit and beer, but depending on the amount of water you steeped with i would be inclined to add it to the fermenter. Throwing it into the boil will kill off some of the characteristics of the fruit, but you might need to boil off...

    American Prickly Pear Wheat

    I think either style would work but the flavors will be more pronounced in the saison. I imagine in the porter some of the fruit could get lost behind the darker malts but still worth brewing IMO. Let us know how it turns out!

    American Prickly Pear Wheat

    MichaelsBrewing, I have yet to make it again, but it's on my list. The Pears i used were bright red/ purple...basically as ripe as can be. As mentioned, the only change for the second round is cut the pears (4-5 per 5gl) into 1/4's or 8th's instead of pureeing them to balance things out. If...

    Glass Carboys - 5 & 6gl

    I do but i'm on the left coast in Cali and shipping would completely kill it. I sent 2 to a buddy in NY and it cost $80+ to send 6gl carboys.
