yep. but just replying here counts against that so you should probably be ok to send DM now. all you do is right click on someones name and hit "start conversation" and that's it. otherwise you have to hit the little envelope icon on top right by your screen name, and then type in their...

You might not be able to DM yet with a brand new account. Sometimes you need a minimum number of posts. So they know you aren’t a bot.

yep. its pretty tight to get them in with the gaskets, and i assume they swell a bit which also helps seal. you can see in pic above how there are stainless bars that lock them in place. check out the website. its a bit heavy on the marketing in some spots but alot of the technical...

read about it at their website. biggest benefit in our opinion is the flexibility. you can make a barrel of any wood (or liquor) you want. just buy some wood, cut it into shape, and you've got a barrel of anything you can find. cedar, juniper, cherry, apple, etc. can also soak them in booze...

got this from a distillery in bay area that had bourbon in it originally, then was a RIS keg. put two more beers in it. so now its getting light on the bourbon, heading towards neutral. put some more bourbon in it, or wash/rinse a few times and soak it with tequila/rum/brandy/etc...

Oxygenate wort via a carb stone big guy.

Likely was for either temp gauge or possibly carb stone. Usually temp gauge.

I can’t recall but chemworld might also sell the inhibitors to add to your existing glycol stock. Worth looking for it.

Been awhile but got my heating pad from the drugstore a while ago for like $10. It’s plastic so cleans easily. Has high/med/low settings. Will wrap around a corny keg, most of the way around the cone of a conical. Definitely will keep those temps up if you cover it with something to help...

iPad. Doesn’t happen all the time but definitely experienced it many times

Have you asked your source for grains if they’ve recently changed their mill or mill settings? If the grist is too fine for flow, it will also block flow to the vast majority of the bag’s surface area. That means overflow.

That was my understanding as well, it wasn’t “needed” per kegland. But my cap it’s definitely not sealing against the tee. I don’t wanna over torque it and bust the tee. So I guess a washer is the only solution. Just have to track one down.
