I'm going to get the liquid harris flux, my local welding shop has that but their harris silver solder was $90 for the roll thought that was a little much..

Cool thanks. Trying my hand at converting a keg this weekend

Has anyone used oatley safe flo silver solder instead of the harris? HD has that in my area in stock and it is cheaper than ordering the harris safe brite.

Yeah it does. Thanks alot. They are selling them for $35 too. Oh well just need to wait til I find what I need. Thanks again.

So I'm trying to obtain some kegs and a local brewery has some that I can purchase. However they stated the kegs that are available come with a plastic foot. Does anyone have any experience with these? I am running lp burners on my system. Thanks in advance.

Just my 2 cents but if your sparging off 160 + degrees, getting hot water from the kitchen to warm up the kettle seems like a waste of time.... I fire up after I have some wort in and good to go. Definitely a wind break if your outside though IMO

How do you guys keep tabs on the temp of a primary when using plastic food grade pals? Do the stick on aquarium ones work?

This was the first time using my counter flow and it went pretty quickly. Way faster than sticking the pot in an ice water bath like i used to with extract. Tap water here is around 70'ish got the wort from boil to 80F so I was pretty happy.

So it took me about 5 hours start to finish. Made the Good Life Pale Ale from The joy of Brewing book. Next time I'm definitely gonna do a single infusion next time. Tried following the instructions and though I didn't quite hit 168 on mash out the conversion was complete according to the iodine...

Doing my first ever AG beer today! Fingers crossed
