    Roasting Coffee

    Hi guys, just my two cents worth. I had a coffee roasting business and for home I built a roaster that would roast approx. 500gm at a time. Was designed around the Sivetz principles. I know home Brewers like to create they're own machines, so thought I would give some info on it. I used a...

    Blichman gun vs. counter pressure filler

    Just an out there question, but if a rubber stopper was added onto the filler tube of the Blichman Beer gun, this would then pressurize the bottle when purging it with CO2. Making it a counter pressure gun. Would there be any benefit to filling, ie. less foam. I have nothing but problems with my...

    Hot water pump

    Hi guys and thanks for the replies. The pump is designed for residential hot water, so food grade shouldn't be a problem. I notice the site says Sanitary. If its not Magnetic and is direct drive, could I adjust the voltage input to adjust the flow rate? I would buy a March pump, but purchasing...
