  I have the 40 qt AHS pot (but without the spigot, etc.)--just the basic pot. I've been happy
  with it. I'm about 40 batches in--no problems with it at all. Obviously, I can't attest to the
  therm/spigot...

  you say you didn't use a starter, but how much yeast did you pitch? One vial? One dry pack? Was
  it an ale or lager? I seem to think that the more of the brewers yeast you added, the less
  likely a fore...

• Posted in thread: oxygen aeration system on 03-28-2011 at 10:36 PM
  I just push the tube down the wand a good 4-5 inches, and use my fingers to sort of pinch the
  tube against the wand when in use. I haven't heard any gas escaping at the tube end, but then
  again, I've ...

• Posted in thread: Help with oxiclean on 02-18-2011 at 06:25 PM
  Does the OP sanitize the bottles (i.e., with Star San) before using them (after using the
  Oxiclean)? If so, doesn't that solve the slime problem? Personally, I would not bottle a beer
  after just an ox...

• Posted in thread: How sanitary/aseptic are we? on 02-18-2011 at 06:17 PM
  I brew sour beers, so contamination comes with my "brewery territory." I basically just try not
  to sneeze on the beer. ;)J/K. I actually start with Oxiclean to clean/get the chunks out, then
  Iodophor,...

  Yes. Mine clouds up immediately too when I mix it. I think it has to do with the mineral
  content of the water. The pH is the most important factor, not the "look" of the solution. If
  you still have do...

• Posted in thread: CO2 Draining Too Fast and Beer Leaking Into Keezer on 02-18-2011 at 06:00 PM
  My theory: two leaks. First could have been anywhere (and may still be anywhere), hence the
  lost CO2 without the spill. Second one: he has a leak at the "outbound" connector at the top of
  the cider ke...

• Posted in thread: When to exchange c02? on 02-18-2011 at 05:53 PM
  My non-elegant solution: buy a second 5 lb tank to keep in reserve. Found mine cheap (on sale)
  at kegconnection last year.

• Posted in thread: Kegerator/Keezer Thermostat Setting? on 02-18-2011 at 05:44 PM
  I seem to think that the freezer is either on or off (i.e., the freezer's thermostat doesn't
  change the "freezing power" of the unit, it just tells the unit that a temperature has been
  reached and swi...

• Posted in thread: My $2.00 Wort Chiller on 02-18-2011 at 04:33 PM
  Looks like it would also be easy to add ice directly to the water baths to quicken the cooling
  process (especially after the wort gets down to a reasonable temperature--for those last few
  degrees), wh...
