Will hop pellets clog it? I brew very hoppy ales like Pliney &amp; son and Racer 5. I am worried about this thing clogging with hops when I use it.

I don't think pellets will clog. It never did for me. I would be very carful with cones. I just brewed an IPA and it work like a charm. I recommand you put a valve to control the amount of water going in because it's most of the time too cold coming out! Chilled 80L in 10 minutes!!! Cheers! Have fun.

Yes. Their brand is water based and goes on smoothly. I since my airbrush system after each use and use alcohol or cleaner every other use. I have not experienced any clogging.

Mine did, unless they changed format based on economics. Just go to Google and ask: Does Hoppe's Cleaning Kit Include oil .....if not, go online and Google Hoppe's, however I AM 99% CERTAIN AS I JUST TOOK A LOOK AT MY KIT AND IN FACT IT IS ALL THERE. Double check to make sure, and if you have questions regarding maintenance of lead pellets with 'wash and oil' process let me know I will respond accordingly.

I don't brew proffesionally, so I can't say anything about maximizing your profit. How ever it does reduce the foaming out of my taps. Even more importantly than the foam, it reduces the amount of air exposure. If you add the right length, the tube will rest on the bottom of the growler reducing the amount of turbulent and air contact. Less air exposure = fresh taste for a longer time.

This is wonderful information. Thanks for the prompt answer. Isn't the internet a marvel? One more question, if you're willing : does one have the option of pouring a cup before the brewing process is completely finished?Thanks again,

it's never clogged for me as i have just used ice, mix and alcohol. Using lime and lemons mostly.. pre squeezed... don't think i would try to pour any "muddled" type things through this... BUT it may not be a problem even then...

I have used it with beer successfully. You can't pump until it clicks or you will just create a different problem in the beer. I've usually done 5-9 pumps, and if it clicks, I start over with fewer pumps. Has kept my Dogfish Head 120 fresh for several days, with the flat/off favors starting to present on day 3.

Mine clogs! I love the container except for the plastic spigot and heard that you can buy a metal one from Amazon that is good. No sure which one it is.. sorry I could not be more helpful.. :(sorry I cannot be more helpful.. :(

My guess is: You haven't cleaned the nozzle apparatus. I always soak mine in water after use. If yours is really clogged, you may have to disassemble it partially to get to the clogged parts. Soaking in vinegar and water mix will help dissolve crud as well. I have not had to do that so I cannot advise on the procedure. A tall parfait glass gives enough height and will reach the nozzle for immediate post brewing soaking. Hope this helps, DEE

No need to bag the hop pellets, though it is nice to be able to remove them with the bag after the boil. If you do not bag, the hops will stay behind when you rack for bottling (or into the secondary fermenter if you use one).

Yes.Found this at the top of the list when I googled it. You might want to try that nifty google thing first.http://www.chuggerpumps.com/home-brewing-pumps-chugger/chugger-pump-products/item/chugger-ss-inline/

I have the same problem on one I received a week ago. The tap is over sized a bit. I corected the problem with a wrap of heavy aluminum foil and then several wraps w/ teflon tape. It holds pretty well for now, when I have a chance I will add a nut to the inside to make sure it won't slip out. I want to make beer, not deal with the hassle of return...

I just purchased the B70 and the Ekobrew cups... I have 'No' problems with seating, closing nor brewing. I'm not sure why some people are having problems, other than a manufacturing problem. Make sure there are no little plastic nubs left behind from clean-up after the molding process.

Bunn has a fix for that, an optional spray head that restricts the flow and increases the brew time. Also try using finer grinds, not just more grinds. If you do use more or finer grinds, however, make sure you are using Bunn-brand filters that have the taller sides to avoid overflows. Good luck!

Well, no. This is the milled malt mixture, dry yeast packet and hop pellets. You will need your brewing equipment, plus water and maple syrup. I recommend grade B syrup as it will give you more flavor, grade A tends to get converted more completely by yeast leaving you with more alcohol and less maple goodness.That being said, give this a try if your ambient temp is in the low 70 degree range. Most people who tried the beer I made from this kit were impressed! I'm tweaking it and making a larger 5 gal batch this fall.

I haven't bought the burner yet since I'm waiting for someone else to confirm how much you can boil with it! I have my first extract kit waiting on the shelf for the new year. An acquaintance is going to come over and walk me through the process. I expect we'll do the same thing you are start with a half-portion and dilute it.I make hard cider, so the only high-cost item I had to buy was a wort cooler. Please let me know how the burner performs! I'd like to be able to do some of the work out of the kitchen...Al

Oh, yes I have! It is quite a mess. This is my second one of these Bunn brewers. The first brewer lasted a long time. This particular flaw in the new model is driving me over the edge. The water always builds up faster than it should. The grinds are over the edge of the filters always. However, the overflow of water and grounds started within a month and has been happening more and more often. Strangely it does not happen EVERY time.
