Preventing leaks and galling in the 4-in-1 fermenter

The 4-in-1 fermenter lid is held in place with eye bolts. Eye bolts are used over standard nuts as they are easier to open with fingers—no tools are necessary. However, when higher pressure is being applied to the vessel (up to 14.9psi), a tool is likely needed to tighten the lid down so it doesn't leak. For a tighter seal, a screw driver (or other steel bar) can be used to tighten the ring by...

How to quickly transfer beer from your fermenter to a keg

While BREWHA's Fermentor to Keg Racking Hose allows a brewer to easily transfer beer to a keg in an oxygen free environment using the 'beer out' post of the keg, the 'beer out' post on most kegs is through a 1/4" tube which can restrict beer flow and be somewhat time consuming. This article describes an easy method for rapid racking of beer to a keg using a larger diameter hose.

How to assemble the BREWHA BIAC

Assembly of the BIAC is relatively intuitive and straightforward and can be assembled and ready to brew in less than 30 minutes. A brewer may want to substitute or alter a few parts, which is entirely acceptable, but this description explains how to assemble it in the typical manner. The BIAC being shown here is the Small version; Small, Medium and Large versions are identical structurally with the one exception that the Large BIAC has two ports for heating elements.

Operating the 240V/30amp Brewing Power Controller

The 240V Brewing Power Controller (BPC) is designed to give safe and easy access to 240V/30amp power in the home. Without it, one would either have to use 120V power or plug a heating element directly into a 240V socket. Using 120V power (like is found in standard wall sockets) only delivers about 1500W power, and would take a very long time to heat water. On the other hand...
