Re: True Brew Hydrometer?

Thanks for the help and the link, I don't think it will work for me though. My hydrometer is calibrated at 60 deg F. I'm not sure who makes True Brew equipment but I cant seem to find a web site for them?

Re: New member . New still

I really like this design and had a thought to address the safety issue. What if one were to let middle size tube extend out the top of the larger tube and then just set a pipe cap on top of it so it could pop off in an over pressure situation? Thoughts?

Then am I correct in thinking that I can save some of the spent wash from the boiler and add that to the next fermen...
