Will these work?

Nice and cheap enought too! Do you have weldless taps on the keg? If not, for any who do, do they hold up well? GA Flatwoods no the couplings are soldered in with silver solder Very nice. I'm still running 110 but would like to convert. Could you post links to your parts and provide the wiring diag...

Very nice. I'm still running 110 but would like to convert. Could you post links to your parts and provide the wiring diagram you used?

Could DAP be used in place of 20-20-20?

Maybe to much tails but, ALWAYS add the alcohol to the water instead of adding the water to the alcohol. Learned that the hard way. It's a chemical reaction. Might clear and might not. Just wait and see.

I have used DADY. Works very well with no noticeable off tastes. But, since bakers yeast is readily available, that's what I use now. My experience has been that DADY clears faster. But I'm in no rush either.

I started my last ferment on 1/8/13 and I wanted to let it sit for an extra week to clear but I checked it today and it is anything but clear and it is actually still bubbling a little... it isn't bubbling through the airlock but if I open it.... it is still bubbling quite a bit. How long is the cl...

Thought I'd share a pic. 750ml sweetfeed fresh off oak and cut to 40%. uploadfromtaptalk1360299281682.jpg Pretty... And that's one of my goals every time... to make it pretty. Tasty is a given now... pretty as well as tasty is, to me perfection. New at this though, I've only perfected apple shine t...

I single run mine in my boka. Just a couple copper scrubbers and run at about 8-10 drips per second. Comes over with a clean sweet flavor. On gens 2 and after I add feints from previous run.

Yes I have used these. Submerge is in the wash.

You running a pot or reflux? I run a boka and as I'm typing I'm dripping off my 9th pint jar at 180 proof after my forshot collection.

Good point.

Thanks. I don't know why I couldn't find that. Knew I'd seen it before.

I have a gallon of 130 proof about ready to come off the oak. Very nice tint to it now. Still has some bite to it and was thinking about using the sugar to help take the edge off? Thoughts? Advise?

Well, the best advise I can give with that in mind is just collect everything in jars and come back and make your cuts after you're feeling good.

I collect heads portion without the parrot. Then place it in line.

I run a 15.5 gal boka. My cooling water comes from a 34 gal drum. Typically about half way thru a strip I have to add water from hose. Just put hose in, let it run and overflow til drum water cools and I'm good to go. Thinking about putting a radiator in my cooling line also.

Well, for me, I found propane easier to control. However, by going electric, this allowed me to be able to move my setup into my shop which allows me more privacy.

Use the hydrometer as a guide, not a bible. Typically 90% for me is heads. 87 or so down to 75 or so I collect in small jars and make cuts after airing. Like piss said, use your senses for fine tuning.

What about sweetfeed which does call for fermenting on the grain?

Thanks.

What is the proper care for the yeast bed? Once I rack off, what should I do to preserve the bed for say 4-5 days?

I know there are shiners in close proximity of me. Don't know who they are, they don't know who I am and we all prefer it that way. I have many friends and family who has no idea I do this! Just something you don't talk about.

Sounds interesting! Just might have to try this.

Just across the river from you
