What did you get delivered today

[BOB357]

A set of 3 hop bags. Just in time for tomorrows brew. The hop filter just doesn't seem to be getting enough circulation for optimum utilization. Figured between the sizes and ability to weigh them down, an improvement is coming.

All the parts finally game. Installed tankless RO system, in-line tds meter and t’d off to a flow meter so I can fill the kettle while I weigh and mill grains.
so far looks like it’s taking the tds down from 243 to around 7-9. Just mailed in sample to ward labs for analysis, water here is unbelievably hard.View attachment 9897 View attachment 9896

How much did that bad boy run you? That's an interesting idea but I'm not sure I would be down for the spend.

Nice setup
.
Hard is what we have here. 550+ ppm with calcium at ~210 ppm. 7 - 9 ppm is what I'm getting from a commercial RO dispenser at our local Walmart. Nothing wrong with that.

Pricey, but the boss only drinks ro, so anything that’s dual use and lowers my trips to the store is a win.

Fair point. Tap water is enough for our needs.

I use filtered tap with a campden tablet, works great for me

Thermowell for temp probe.
I'm guessing kettle goes between washer then O ring and nut on inside?

That's what the groove in the nut is for.

I haven't had enough coffee sorry you have it right just don't tighten the nut, tighten the thermalwell

Just make sure that you lubricate that oring when installing so it doesn't get damaged.
To answer your question, that is correct, washer on outside, oring and nut inside.

Got my new kveik dry yeast, first time using it, I might build this up for hoppy beers

Cheers got a spare o ring too. But now I've found a trick if you ever bust one save going to HB store or ordering a new one cut an inch or so off silicone hose then cut it down the middle and carefully using a razor cut your diameter in the hose and hey Presto ghetto silicon washer

I have a silicon baking sheet just for that, dozens of washer/O-rings for emergencies.

Ha, I was thinking the same thing.... want to try a stout or porter. I have a 5 gal SS pot that came with kit and using an old gas burner from a turkey fryer!!
