Cover the area you want to waterproof with FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Paneling) and caulk the seams, cover with plastic trim, and voila, waterproof wall. That's the way a lot of bars do it. If you want to get away from drywall, you can always use Wonderboard.

The burners we use put out a lot more BTUs than your stove, hence a lot more oxygen getting used up and producing a lot more Carbon Monoxide. Without proper exhaust and a very good fresh air source, you will deplete the oxygen in the area of the burner, then it's sleepy time. It's possible to...

I recently upgraded to this one from williams brewing when I tried a full boil in a 7 gallon pot, and failed. Definitely worth the money http://www.williamsbrewing.com/BREWER_S_EDGE_40_QUART_BREWKET_P2366C50.cfm One more gallon, plus the valve comes with it.

I spun and even bounced it a few times because I noticed a lot of tiny bubbles rising up, I'm assuming CO2, I only let it set a few minutes though, so I probably should have let it go for a while and checked. Don't think the hydrometer is bad because I haven't had this happen before, but I'll...

Okay, this is a little strange. I brewed an Irish Red Ale on Nov. 16th and my OG was 1.065, a little higher than the estimate on brewsmith. After a week, I checked the gravity and it was at 1.016, I was going to rack to secondary that day, but figured what the hell, I'll give the whole...

Okay, I've been reading Yeast: The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation, I'm about halfway through it, should've been done long ago, but I have the attention span of a fruit fly, and seeing as how I'm bottling tomorrow, I started thinking about something I read about oxygen requirements and...

I left a carboy sitting for a couple of days soaking thinking it was no big deal. I was busy and couldn't get to it the next day. Well, after much rinsing, there was a cloudy haze left that wouldn't even brush off. Couldn't think of what to do, asked a friend and he suggested CLR. I made a...

CornyKeg.com recommends not using an alkaline based cleaner because of the anodization on the ball locks, have you had any problems with this?

I work at a resort and we use Beer Gas to push everything. We have a couple of bars just have BMC on tap and one bar that has all sorts - Chimay, a couple of different stouts, IPAs, Seasonal Brews, they all come out fine. Granted, not all are exactly carbed to style, but they still taste good.

I came across this thread a while back. I have one lid set up for Carboys and another lid set up for corny kegs. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/keg-carboy-washer-158415/

Best - Steamworks Brewpub - Durango, CO - Great Beer, Great food! The Cajun Boil is the most out of place thing to find in Southwest Colorado, but awesome nonetheless. Worst - There used to be a brewpub in the Monte Carlo Casino in Vegas, forgot what it was called, but I think the...

Thanks for bursting my bubble Bob. But seriously, I appreciate the detailed reply and the advice. Especially pointing out the AA% of the hops I'm using. I get all of my ingredients from Austin Homebrew and their Northern Brewer Hops are listed at 10.4%, so yeah, that would've been rough. I'm...
