    Picture or Video of the day.

    Glass or Plastic for Bottling

    just a few wraps on the ball valve tap is all it needed i didnt think of this. does the liquid expand enough from the heat that the marks will be different with hot and cold liquids.?

    so at first i thought the no sparge makes no sense but now i see its really not worth the effort to sparge if i can fit all the water in there anyway and only lose a few points efficeicney if any. also i see it has the advantage of allowing for pretty small batches. even in a 9 gallon aio...

    these go between the tap and the kettle. 1/2 inch npt female so you can screw the tap into the other end. they are weldless so you just drill a hole and insert. you can put a thermometer in the other end also but since my aio has thermometer and i figure it already has the hole for the tap ...

    no this one goes on the tap between the tap and the kettle not connected to the pump outlet. the polycarbonate sight glass from bz fits but i have heard its **** and breaks/ snaps often at the connections. yes the sparge is a pain when you cant see the volume. thats why i figure this will...
