swagelok vs compression fittings - Homebrew Talk Swagelok and possibly Parker are. Another thing to look for when buying compression fittings is the dual ferrule design. The back ferrule spins while the front ferrule compresses on the tubing. The single ferrule design can twist the tube while the nut is being tightened making it weaker. The oring or plastic ferrule is probably the way to go.

Swagelok BT or Normal fittings - Homebrew Talk All, Was looking around at Swagelok fittings and I found some say bored through, some are normal. Should I get the BT ones? I am looking to use 1/2 rigid copper for my pickup tube. So I want 1/2" npt by 5/8 tube. Also for my hex, 1/2 copper or stainless so I was looking at the 1/2 npt x 1/2...

Homebrewing is the axle to a wheel's worth of bespoke hobbies Hi all, From redecorating my wardrobe with blueberry 'de Mousse out of a battery of 2L PET's as a young lad, to proselytizing the good word of Saccharomyces to any who would listen, I have again been called to coddle a carboy or stiffen the seals of some steel. Something I was really looking...

Recharge the Freon? - Homebrew Talk Alrighty, so it looks like tomorrow I'm going to check out a Beverage Air BM23 kegerator I found on Craigslist. I'm getting it for a steal, but apparently it doesn't work. The fan and compressor come on, but only blow warm air. My completely naive diagnosis is a freon leak, but having never...

Some kinds of beer give me headaches...why? - Homebrew Talk There are some types of beer that give me a headache, even if I only have one or two. Lleinenkugel, cheap malt liquor, Mike's Hard Lemonade, and Michelob Ice are some on the list. What is in these types of beer that are not in others? I need to know what to avoid in making my home brews...

Anyone use the disposable oxygen tanks for aerating? I can't find where to purchase the disposable O2 tanks. I don't have any welding shops nearby and the big HD/Lowes by me don't carry them. I want to go this route for aerating. Can you buy online? Other suggestions? If I go the non-disposable route, anyone know of good deals out there on...

How long do you age your mead? - Homebrew Talk I want to make my first batch of mead and I'm curious how long it will take to age completely. According to "The Complete Joy of Home Brewing", Papazian says to ferment to completion in the primary, move to a secondary to clear and then you can bottle/drink the mead. Is this how y'all do it...

Acorn Beer? | Homebrew Talk - Beer, Wine, Mead, & Cider Brewing ... So the white oaks are beginning to produce a tremendous amount of acorns this year. Even though we had a serious drought this summer, we've had about 6 months worth of rain in the last 4 weeks...so the trees are ready to go! My question is, has anyone ever tried brewing with acorns/acorn...

Voss Kveik Fermentation Profile? - Homebrew Talk Brewed up an American Amber and used Voss Kveik for the first time. Party time after 2 hours - wild! Recipe calls for 5-7 days @ 95F. I usually use US-05 @ 67F and let it ride for 14 days before I even look at it, so this Kveik profile is new territory for me. I was just wondering what sort of...

Bending 1/2" .020 SS for Immersion Chiller - Homebrew Talk I've seen a number of threads on here regarding the difficulty of bending SS, but they seem to be related more to dip tubes. Has anyone tried bending 1/2"" .020 wall SS tubing around a Cornie Keg, and what difficulties have you had? Should this be filled with sand first, or is that only...
