^^ That! Agreed with everything @eliastheodosis said and in that vein, here's a link to Fermonsters: https://www.brewhardware.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=fermonster&Submit= I really like to watch new brewers journey as it gives us a chance to revisit our own and sometimes rethink a part of our...

Since it's moved on to chemical reactions and @KegLand is weighing in; Do you suppose this keg would be suitable for long-term storage of Star San? I have a Series-X kegerator so these won't fit, but as far as Star San use goes, I'm in the 'keep it for about a month or so before discarding'...

Is horizontal space an issue? ..There's always the squat 1/4 keg;

Don't let my bad experience with a few duotights sway you, 99% of Duotight users are perfectly happy with their perfectly functioning Duotight systems. (I can only be certain I had one bad part and the few other leaks I had are down to my own incompetence..I've got brain/spine/CNS damage that...

Every once in a while a post will stick in my brain and I'll start assembling things to see if they'd work...While it didn't quite work this time, maybe this'll be some fuel for thought or something onother reader might find useful; My first thought was actually "This is a job for my Fermhead!"...

My own reasoning in choosing the bowtie 1 was that I could more easily swap out the gauge or reconfigure the bits... I never felt a need to though and it's been working fine for what I use it for, but I have considered swapping the gauge out for the digital one. Jus wondering if you've...

Just sayin' I brew in the kitchen too; I slide the stove out so I can borrow the plug and roll my brew rig in, but I have tile floors... My greater concern for property damage has been my windows, walls and ceiling owing to the steam. Yes, I now use a steam-condensor (...

Not meaning to sound too obvious, but did you let it cool down before pitching the yeast?

Would this be an option ? : + + https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/hopbongkit2.htm + https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/sankeball.htm :mug:

But "B4" would save ink! :ban:

Sounds like a 3/8" barb which is no big deal... are you absolutely certain it's 5/16"? Taprites sell with either 3/8" or 5/16", but shoving a 5/16" hose over a 3/8" barb is fine and personally, I've always tried to use slightly oversized barbs as an added measure of security. In the meantime...

What aspect of the bag do you hate? I had similar feelings myself when I first tried BIAB and experimented with mockups to see what difference a rigid mash-holder would make and concluded that it was a PITA to clean compared to a bag. Both will drip all over the place if you're not prepared to...

Apologies; I know nothing about Brew Commanders, but I get kinda bothered every time I see a horizontal RIMS. I honestly don't know how significant a difference it makes in practice, but given 'heat rises', temp changes will be slower at the probe and what's coming out may not actually be at...
