Ill try the auto siphons but i think that the pumping action may disturb the lees. Now maybe ill just get som standard ones and cut to size. I have most of my toys now so im being finicky lol

Just by readin your post i understand why. I purchased the longest one first. When i tried it on a 3 gallon carboy it was sloppy at best. I never looked at them again. Ill get a couple of other sizes now. Thanks for the tip. :)

I dont like auto siphons- That was one of my early mistakes. I just keep it to remind me to be more selective. Ill just cut a few plastic ones to size.

I had an adjustable racking tube for years. it died and i cant find another. Before i have to buy a few siphons and cut them, Can anyone help me. I have 5 diferent sizes of carboys :)

smoking food--making sausages--just starting beer-motorized 2 wheels--gizmos to run my mashing automatically--magician.

Alchemist could you elaborate on your comment about the brewshops mill-- I am thinking of a mill soon and want an adjustable gear driven model.

After a bit of thought i realised that the hops dont go into the mash tun. I'll get it straight yet. I'm going to google strike water calculator and take some notes :)

I'm so gratefull for the information. A comment on my first failure. The taste was sour indicating a bacterial infection. That wont happen again. I just ordered some hop bags but my tun has a straining system in it. Plus i was going to use a grain bag. Any more tips or corrections...

Thanks again. The thing that really disturbs me is that i cant visualize whats happening-I can see other electronic components but i guess i'm just getting old. At any rate i feel secure in the way it is to be wired. Thanks again :)

I only tried making beer once last year. I used liquid extract. Accidently, i poured the sediment from the boil into the fermenter. I dont know if thats why it came out terrible or the fact my buddy was not paying attention to our strict sanitation methods-- i let him pass not wanting to...

Same except contemplating the peach wine i want to start next week and the amber ale grains i purchased at southern brewers this past friday.

If it is finished fermenting etc , why not cork it and wax it???

boy did i need tha info--now i willread and re read it till it sinks in. all day today i have been trying to imagine hoe that circuit worked so as not to destroy the meter. Thanks JDC

Well an ammeter unlike a volt meter is hooked in series with a wire that hasthe current flowing through it. Meter movements are very sensative and react to microvolts. the shunt is placed in the line that you want to install the meter. The meter is connected to the shunt. The heavy current...

Just an un educated guess. If i use 1 pkg of dry yeast and a proper starter bottle for 6 gallons, i guess 8 pks would easily do for 50 gallons. I would make a very large starter bottle 5 gallons or more and aerate the starter bottle and definitely aerate the juice with a bubbler before...

The CO2 from the yeast protected it. Ditto on above comment.

What yeast did you use please??

I just developed a method. I move the cursor to the right and 1/2 way down and i'm close.

How do you compute your back sweetning since the formula is a molar solution. For consistancy, I use a backyard method and if i want to backsweeten a gallon 128FL.OZ. to what i will call 2% i merely multiply 128X.02 and add 2.56 ounces of white sugar to the gallon((using a measuring...
