PP, I sanitize it before reuse and I think I'm going to start filling the filter with sanitizer and bleed it off when I start the transfer. That should help with not adding extra oxygen which I had not thought of but was suggested on HBT by audger. I could probably get away from filtering if I cut t...

I don't allow California rats to drink my beer! I dunno I never thought about it not being food grade. The beer is only in contact with it for a few seconds before it moves on to it's new temporary home. I was more worried about the pipe dope tainting the flavor. It took a week for the stink to go a...

With my camera there would be little difference between the two :roll: I mostly use it as a trub filter between the frementor keg and serving keg. I'm sure it doesn't even come close to filtering like a plate filter. But for $20 it kicks arse. I don't think gravity alone would do it or at least the ...

joshua,

Thanks! It was super easy to make and really easy to clean. The hardest part of it was waiting a week to try it out. One thing I forgot to mention is teflon tape the threaded cap before each use. If you don't put any tape it's darn near impossible to get it back out by hand.

Cheap Beer filter

Hello, I looked at all kinds of ways to try and filter my beer and none of them were very cheap. I wanted to be able to filter the beer and not lose much of it in the process. I also wanted a cheap easy to clean reusable filter media. My filter cost me about $20 not including the tubing which I alre...

joshua, Sounds like a plan I'll try it. I know the head doesn't affect the flavor but it does the appearance and the eye feeds first. I have a few Test Ales I wanna make with different base grains so I want a good base recipe to make them all equal. I just threw the special roast in so it wouldn't g...

Yes I'm addicted I LOVE BIAB!!! I've brewed a few kits but I really like biab better. The Test Ale is really tasty but has no head or lacing. It's only 3 1/2 weeks old but I couldn't wait anymore I HAD to taste it. I think it's the best beer I've made yet but I may be bias. I ordered some Carapils t...

Well I ordered the rest of the stuff today :argh: I based it off of Todd's setup and the one at http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/my-off" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... ad-269164/ I'm not going to do a recirc pump yet, gotta have something to look forward to. Auber Instruments is r...

Oh Yeah, Thanks for the input! I ordered a 44 quart SS brew pot. After much reading on the thread at HBT I like the idea of the Auber SYL-2352 PID. It's not much more than a digital thermometer and it will be sweet for it's control over the brewing process. I've got more reading to do on the subject...

Todd, First all grain under my belt. :thumbs: Thanks for your advice! This was one of the best brew days I've had, everything seemed to just fall into place. As Chief Gonzales on the Nimitz used to say "Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance". It took the same amount of time as a parti...

eKettle controller?

Hail, I really want to build an eKettle! It's not an urgent project yet I'm in the planning stage. I found a temperature controller on amazon.com Control Products TC-9102D-HV and wondered if it would work for an eKettle? Here's my ideas in a nutshell. First (please don't hit me with a bat) find arou...

Todd, I'm really liking the idea of all grain for the control of the flavor. I was scared to try it as I haven't been brewing long and all the equipment you need to do it. But once I heard of BIAB I thought why not try it out. I've got BeerSmith which is really fun to play with but it doesn't really...

Test Ale?

Hey all, I plan to try my first BIAB this week. I worked up a simple 2 gallon recipe to test several things. I plan to do 2 batches to taste the difference in the grains. I've not brewed any all grain brews so I figured if I kill it 2 gals is better than 5. I threw the special roast in just because ...

stux,

I already set it free of it's earthly burdens :) I figured as BrickBrewHaus said it's only a couple bucks and a few minutes for piece of mind. I spent $45 on the kit so it's worth it to be safe. It's all in the fermenter now becoming yummy goodness.

BrickBrewHaus, Thanks! That's what I figured but hoped for the best. I normally use dry yeast but I'm gonna brew a Smoked Scotch Ale and want it to be as good as possible. Only 2 more partial mash kits and it's BAIB for me. OH YEAH fresher beer here I come! I'm making a few changes in my setup. This...
