3 French Hens should be easy to get from collector/traders, 2 Turtle doves may be a bit harder but doable with the right "ammo". Partridge in a Pear Tree (known among collectors as PiaPT) has become very rare because of its status as the rare first component of an epic vertical. When it...

You should be able to find the amount of charge you need from the manufacturer, if not you would have to do it yourself. If you are going to charge it yourself you should get a few thermocouples to attach to your suction and discharge lines, as well as a gauge set to hook up to the ports you...

that is fantastic. I just hope you never have to clean that sump pump. Do you always leave the water running, or just to flush?

I just bought 3 new perlicks and need to dump the old stuff. These are 3 chrome faucets that have been in use for 7 months. I will do the following: $8 each + shipping $25 for all three I'll ship $20 for all three with local pickup Santa Ana. PM me please.

I am not sure what you are asking, since there is no question in your post. The 4 sq. ft. just means to keep any ductwork on the inlet side at 4sq ft total or more to get full performance. My thoughts on it: It would seem to be fine if you just want to keep some of the heat away and duct...

I kegged it today and there were no off flavors I could detect. Actually the ferment was so clean I think It may have had too much O2, but it was just WLP001 so it is clean anyway. I tried it again today with two batches but cut the amount of H2O2 in half. We will see how these turn out...

I am not chemist nor do I know all about brewing but from what I have understood: -Using air without a filter exposes your beer to infection. (and I have had a few batches infected) -Using Air (~30% O2) is difficult to get greater than 8 ppm, which is the bottom range of dissolved oxygen levels...

Old Topic, but I decided to give this a shot. I ended up using 24g of 3% H2O2 once my wort was cool (5 gal batch). I then waited 30 minutes for the reaction to occur and then pitched 1.6 L of a WLP001 starter. 6 hours later the airlock started to bubble and 12 hours from pitching it was...

that could be it. What yeast did you use?

I am no expert, as you can tell from my post count, but I have had good results from stirring the pot with a spoon to whirlpool it, then letting it sit for 60 minutes to compress the crud. Then I rack it and filter it with a fine mesh bag (sanitized) when I get close to the crud. I usually...
