• Posted in thread: Polysulfone vs SS on 10-19-2012 at 09:38 PM
  Probably one of the bigger advantages of SS in this situation, or any really, is there is less
  of a chance of damaging the in/out threads due to cross threading, over tightening, etc.Not to
  mention po...

• Posted in thread: High pressure Co2 hose on 10-18-2012 at 02:45 PM
  I have a dual regulator with a remote high pressure hose. Unfortunately, I foundthe hose to
  have many pinhole leaks - it loses 200psi in 8 hours (from the hose.)I can't figure out how I
  could seal the...

  I use SS balls. I got them from McMaster-Carr. Stainless hex nuts are easier to come by locally
  and work just as well.

  What kind of hose are you using that can handle >800psi? I would just hard plumb it with 1/4"
  flexible copper and compression fittings.

• Posted in thread: OnederBrew.....anyone try this? on 10-16-2012 at 06:22 PM
  The name reminds me of the movie, "That Thing You Do." "What's the name of your band? The

  What could possibly be surprising about a plastic drum with a spigot in it?

  I find dry firing the element cleans it up nicely...though I only clean it that way when I'm
  not paying attention to what I'm doing. :o

• Posted in thread: Which end of the wort chiller is " cold water-in"? on 04-02-2012 at 01:13 PM
  You should be stirring your wort while its cooling, so it shouldn't matter. If you're just
  letting it sit it's probably better to have the cold water go in the 'top'. You should get more
  natural conve...

• Posted in thread: Getting an AC unit to run down to fermenting temps on 03-30-2012 at 01:24 AM
  Freezing will be an issue even at 50F if you have a humid atmosphere. The coils run below
  freezing regardless of what your set temperature is.

• Posted in thread: Getting an AC unit to run down to fermenting temps on 03-29-2012 at 07:10 PM
  Bypass the thermostat and the compressor will run until it dies or freezes the coil, whichever
  comes first. In low humidity conditions I've had my AC cool my fermentation chamber below
  0°F.The best op...
