Sorry if this question is too late for this thread... does anyone who put a weldless thermowell into a speidel do pressure transfers? I've seen a few examples on the forum of thermowells through the lid, through the cap, through the wall. Someone who did it through the top cap mentioned they...

Very cool. Did you use 4" PVC pipe? How did you end up with black pipe? Thanks!

Okay, that is what I was thinking! Thank you very much.

Hi. I'm finishing up a new keezer build and was looking into buying a secondary regulator setup to control co2 settings from within the freezer, but it occurred to me that I may already have what I need... I have a single body regulator that's gone unused for quite a while, and a two body/dual...

Found more info on it --- don't know why I saw nothing earlier! Thanks anyway.

I thought I read about this before but cannot find a thread on it now. I have a chest freezer large enough to ferment in and store a few kegs. I want to divide and insulate part of it with stryofoam (basically build a box inside the box) and use a pad heater from Williams brewing to warm that...

I haven't seen anyone do this with a false bottom... any issues with that? (Using a separate manifold of course)

I wasn't aware of spontaneous/wild fermentations w/ cider till...now. I recently made a 1 gallon batch of cider using "tree top" cider. I used a dry English ale yeast for it. I bought a second gallon of "tree top" to top off the first batch when I secondary it in the next few days. When I...

For anyone interested: check out http://www.agile-fx.com/servlet/StoreFront The glassware is cheaper than Cynmar.com

Would a pressure cooker that only does 10 psi work sufficiently? It seems like a lot of the new cheaper models don't go to 15psi.

Ya I noticed the same thing. The description for both is exactly the same. Is household NG high pressure?
