Any update on how that damp dishrag idea worked?

What are you using to glue your labels? And do you have bleeding/fading issues with just using standard paper?

I volunteer at a local brewery and we have had the same problems with our distributor losing the collars. Our solution was a small 2"X2" sticker (with the beer name on it) applied to the dome of the keg. Now, if the collar comes off, the name of the beer is right under it. It is a pain to remove...

Now this kind of price point will get a lot more guys into stainless. I'm half tempted to pick up one as soon as they come back in stock. One 7gal should hold me over until the 14's come out :-)

Sorry to resurrect a dormant thread, but I just read though all 20 pages.... Has anyone evolved towards automating some their malting equipment in the last 3 years of this thread's existance? and if so, anyone have any pics?

This post is freaking hilarious.

Those are great looking! Did you wrap the inner pipe with wire to break up the laminar flow? Also, what connections did you use on those puppies?

Ooohhh, I may have to steal that idea!!!

If ambient is that close to your target temp, you should be good. Having that much water around it will keep it very close to ambient. Sounds like a good plan.

The first thing I see that would be an issue is you are trying to cool ALOT of liquid with just an ice chest full (wort+fermentation heat+water around fermenter)... I bet you would run through Ice very quickly trying too cool all that. What about wrapping the chiller coils tightly around the...

Just realized that I never updated this thread... I wasn't much of a fan of the first two gallons I bottled, but boy was the 2.5 gallons that had habanero spectacular. I have been pouring it at 55° And the flavors are GREAT. The habanero never really hits you, it just slowly builds until your...

I have literally been laughing throughout this entire thread...

That is gorgeous.

Can I just say that that stand is freaking gorgeous....!:ban:
