    Getting gas line on regulator outlet

    I have just finished adding gas lines to the Geelong Craft Brewers portable bar, two 4 way manifolds, two 8mm elbows, an 8mm t-piece and regulator. Some gentle heat with a butane torch and a quick spray of food grade silicone. Still a struggle, but got them all on. Just beware to heat the tube...

    Wheat beer Yeast help

    Some wheat yeasts do produce a bit of tang so would not stress about that, 1.018 is too high to finish though and weizen yeasts are usually pretty good at attenuating.

    Need help conical yeast dump

    Nope not doing anything wrong, most the yeast will stick to the sides of the cone. I never harvest mine through the dump valve, I just get a couple of cup fulls and put each one in jar by itself.

    Recirculating is an extra cost in terms of pump, plumbing etc. I just an old windshield wiper motor with a paint stirrer to agitate the HLT contents. Works fine and was less that $20 all up.

    Keg King Intertap

    I noted this too, you would need a high speed die grinder to get in there. I might do it with my dremmel if I can be bothered, but, just use a spray bottle with star san in it after a nights pouring and it will be fine.

    Increasing carbonation level in keg

    Cripes, most worthless response ever! Here is the proper response.... 10 psi seems a little low, I run mine on about 16psi and it carbonates about perfect for most ales, a bit low for lagers/weizen.

    Two gas manifolds handle the 8 gas lines we need. 8 beer lines with 4mm Bevlex line, super flexible even when sub zero.

    Portable Bar Build

    Been a while and time to update. Keg King were terrific about giving the club a discount, so it is fully fitted with 8 stainless Intertap, non flow control models. Then, the font block can be filled with ice to keep the lines and taps cold, each line runs through a 90mm piece of storm water...

    Dedicated Herms Guide, Problems And Solution Thread

    After an earlier post about overshooting etc, found I had K-type thermocouples, so ordered a couple of these PT-100 bad boys and just added to the system, reconfigured the SYL-2362 and the SYL-2352P (ramp/soak) PIDs. One on SYL-2362 was accurate at 45c out of the box, SYL-2352P needed a 1.1c...

    Black vs Midnight Wheat

    Personally, I think brown malt is an overlooked malt when it comes to porters and stouts, it has excellent flavour and in larger amounts in a stout provides an excellent back bone to build upon with the blacker/roastier malts.
