At end of boil, we let it sit for ~20 minutes for hops, removed hops (in bags), whirlpooled and cooled with imersion...

    10G Batch Fermenter Options and Thoughts..

    I'm starting to brew 10G batches with another which we end up splitting, but it seems logical to ferment as 10G versus split in 1/2... So... options include DIY route with plastic conical... can end up costing upwards of $300+ with nice connectors/etc... I'd likely rather spend the slightly...

    CO2 Pressure & Beer Line Length

    I know to make them ~10' to not have any issues... my hefe will be at 20-25psi and 10' works out to a good pour from the calculators... but will ales that are down in the 3-5psi still pour with a 10' hose and 2-3' from center of keg to faucet height of a standard collared freezer?

    Secondary regulators

    Has anyone built a system using lower cost modular regulators (typically used in FRL air compressor systems)? They seem like they'd work just fine... they have 1/4" thread varieties... have lots of selection and are typically fairly inexpensive ~$30 each... I'm trying to figure out what I want...
