  You just need to cut slits in the long pieces, make sure the slits face down. If you dimple the
  pipe ends, by putting three punch marks around them this will make them more secure without
  solder. John...

  I too use nearly this style, 1/2" copper. Slits cut everywhere but the elbows or T's as stated.
  At the corners though I also used T's with end plugs so that the tubing would stand off the
  wall of the ...

  I'd say the design will do you just fine.I think most use 1/2" rigid copper tubing and I'd cut
  slits anywhere you don't have a 'T' or Elbow joint.I know there are folks who successfully just
  piece the...

  Hi everyoneI live in Spain and apparently CPVC is not know here and I dont wanna use PVC for a

  You can hook it up to a garden hose or faucet and then have a drain hose or you can buy a
  submersible pump to pump ice water from another vessel. I live in Minnesota and our tap water
  rarely gets abov...

  Spray some sanitizer on the spigot, and a piece of this and wrap it around the spigot.

  A lot of folks wrap their spigots in sanitized layers or plastic wrap with rubberbands for
  added security.Never heard of such a thing. Do I make it myself or buy it somewhere?

• Posted in thread: The difference between and temperature of fermenting beer and the environment on 05-16-2013 at 10:51 PM
  Certainly, Elysium. In my observation, the beer is only slightly warmer than the water bath,
  from a quarter to a half a Celsius degree. As the fermentation slows, there is less heat, and
  the differenc...
