Milwaukee 55. Yep its 4.0

WUT you think is expensive and WUT I do is your opinion. But I do appreciate the info.

As we all know, pH meter storage solution is expensive and runs out all too quickly. I recently read that white distilled vinegar is a good means of cleaning the meter when the "regular" storage solution crystalizes on it. May one also "store" the meter's probe in said vinegar, or would that...

Thought I’d heard it is bad to use with stainless especially if in contact with it a long time as it can corrode it

Thank u sir. I have had good experiences with them in the past and have no idea why I had trouble on this issue. I did get a response yeaterday though. They said they didnt have knowledge how to remove the labels. since then I have worked at prising what turns out are Stickers from the...

Thanks all. Lots of good info. Imma try the “peel” method first. Then mabbe goto acetone, then Im not sure. It’s not etched, but rather “raised.”

Bought two SPIKE pots a year ago. SPIKE has obnoxious gaudy eyesores on all their equipment, namely their company logo. It’s the first ghing uou see when you enter my brewroom. Despite three inquiries, SPIKE won’t reply to my emails askin how to remove these. I guess they wanna keep their...

I have been lifting the tube as I rotate it. Seems like i will damage the tube by bending it, but it hasnt bent. Hadnt thought to push down on the false bottom that might be smarter. I dont remove/clean after every brew anymore as its too much hassle and actually not needed as the false...

You say it gets worse as it sits. as mentioned above, I would focus on oxegon exposure. Research minimizing O2 during process especially during transfers. Look into LODO method.

Really food info as always Bobby thank u.

Can I add beergas thru the traditional “in” valve of a corney keg; or, do I need to buy one of these (expensive) corney lids especially made for nitro (they have a special port with tubing and diffusion stone suspended into the beer) ? mabbe without the lid it takes longer to carbonate the...

Thats the one I got. Only three brews but great product

Thanks -- I was trying to maintain a slow rate during recirculation, per my LODO practices. The flow stops if the valve is shut too much. So, it's either full bore flow or no flow. As far as the pump's orientation, I think Blichmann says a horizontal position is ok.

Howdy, I have a two kettle setup with a Blichmann Riptide pump to move liquid back and forth… Riptide has a needle valve built in to control flow rate. With that being said, Is there any advantage to adding a supplemental flow control valve of some kind immediately “downstream” of the Riptide...

Couldnt you accomplish the same thing with same-length beerlines and a regulator on each line?
