thread bump, had the same andale font as Darren with these 7mm OD lines coming out and couldn't find a fitting for them to save myself, as a workaround i got some swagelok 1/4 compression fittings and nipped them up then drilled through the cap, olives and base with a sharp 7mm drill...

these ones at the bottom?? its basically a compression nut/gland nut. they just screw in and compress a rubber seal, there may be 2 rubber seals then a washer in there, you could make one easily enough, get a fitting ( plug??) with the same thread, bore the hole out the the OD of the tube...

think of steeping like making barley tea, its a great tool for partial grain brewing. effectively you get a bit of mouthfeel and some biscuit flavour without mashing and converting the starches to sugers that would otherwise be fermented out, you really just need hot enough water to pasturise...

recently acquired a similar andale 4 tap font, the one i got was missing the inner top plug so had to turn one up out of a bit of brass stock. , there is a decorative cap that goes over the top plug as you can see below. the plug lives beneath this and makes the glycol seal and is held in place...

yeah the beer lines are imperial 1/4"OD which is something like 6.25mm OD so i got 4 1/4 line push fittings and adapted them to 8mm line,

Put a bit of a dent in our stocks today?

Tarted up the old girl a new theme.

i brew ale yeast with 1 deg tops. i imagine your brew has calmed down by now, would have ran out of sugars.

my go to batch summer ale uses 500g of crystal malt in 40 litres , i use 500g in my dark ale as well with 150g of roasted barley again in a 40l batch. i always use milled. even with your unmilled batch you will get sweetness carry through from the les fermetable grains.

iam sure your pale will be fine however as peter mentioned not milling the grain will reduce the flavour you otherwise will have extracted from it, being a partial grain yo may as well eliminate the boill and use the kit for bittering. then add late dry hop for aroma and flavour. you dont state...

again pretty good advice from Mark, especially his 2nd paragraph.

BOT are great, loved em since i saw em live at deny ute muster about 4 years ago.

get a fermenting fridge, IMO temperature control is a massive way to improve your brews. find an old fridge on 2nd hanf sales sites then connect an inkbird or stc1000 controller.

whatever way you want to look at it these beers are a Loooong way from adheering to the rhineheitsgabot!

sol and corona are closer to moonshine than beer with the amount of corn they are made with. the amount of barley in corona is so low they even qualify as a gluten free beer with less than 20PPM of gluten. https://dgomag.com/contents/3306

good post grok, saved me typing out all these disclaimers :bigcheers:

Same people are happy to use BBQs and LPG cars. i suspect it has a little bit more to do with the fact that they are licensed to aquire the other gasses and hydro based gasses dont require such licensing.

it will, i have a mix of r134 and propane in my triton atm, if there is no gas left straight propane will be fine, you should consult the pressure/temp tables for the gas pressure but generally speaking just adding a little bit at a time untill it starts cooling will do it, its mot like you have...

pretty much my thoughts as well, and heres another tip, "Propane" if you top the charge up with a bit of propane it may begin working again, propane is already categorized as a UN refrigerent and present on some refrigerent mixes eg R290. its also one of the best refrigerants and readily...

it seems there are heaps round when you dont need one but as soon as your looking for one its like the supply dries up or they are miles away. wonder if i should put one aside if one comes up locally.
