I'm surprised that in three pages, no one has mentioned the biggest potential culprit in this whole discussion...
When's the last time you calibrated your thermometers?
As I was starting to homebrew, I slowly watched my efficiencies plummet until they reached the low 60's as you've seen. It...
Well, thanks to @day_trippr I've now given Chi Company a solid $200 or so, buying all kinds of crap I probably didn't need. :)
Seriously though they have EVERYTHING! I started buying items just because I thought it might be a good idea to have them on hand!
Wow - I really like that idea! What's even better is I've been trying to figure out how to attach ball-lock posts to the end of a hose for cleaning multiple beer lines at once - I'm going to have to grab a couple of these cornelius keg posts!
Thanks guys!
HAH - you da man.
I like the idea of using the existing threaded fittings and not needing a ton of adapters with brass threaded pipe or something like that.
Ordered. Thanks. :)
Hey all,
I'm building yet another keezer collar project but I have a specific question that I need help with.
I want the CO2 tank to sit outside the keezer and run through the backside of the collar. I want to do this with some sort of bulkhead fitting that will allow for a valve on the...
I'm brewing my 4th batch of mead using the TOSNA method (meadmaderight.com)
My fermentation has been extremely active and while it still has a while to go, the flavor has been great so far. Going to wait until finished then knock out the yeast (probably with heat-pasteurization) and...
Ya know, the biggest problem with this website sometimes is finding a thread like this that never ends with any real-world results. :)
Got some free wheat yeast from a homebrew comp and thinking of doing a cucumber lime beer with some grains of paradise. Was looking for a starting point for...
HAH! I judged that competition! It's even possible I drank that beer. I believe the DIPA/IPA categories were split between two groups of judges however.
Congrats! My beers didn't do so well at AWOG. :)
PS, this link, second paragraph under copper, says I'd be fine using it in a jockey box.

A few paragraphs down it explains the problem with beer stored in copper, but says that using it in a jockey box "should be fine."
So I...
I find it interesting that on a site with people doing so many crazy projects, no one seems on board with this... :)
I wont be able to do 100 foot of coil in the car - just ain't gonna fit. Each line will get 12 foot tops. As I'll mostly be serving 3-4 ounces at beer fests, it shouldn't be a...
Well yes, it'll be a few hundred. I'm going to try to keep it from being a LOT of hundreds of dollars... :-)
Nice thing is, my work "status" might get me some pretty neat custom parts... ...for free. May have sourced a stainless steel, custom cut panel for the tap handles at no cost...
It's taken me three weeks of nagging a Craigslist seller, but I finally went and picked up this little gem just the other day:
That's a 16V "Kid Trax" SRT Viper ride-on car for kids. It doesn't run, and it only cost me $20 bucks.
I'm going to cut the car in half, width-wise, just...
Been quite a while since I got to check this thread. Also been a while since I made some labels!
This year I'm switching to a 5x3" label and moving away from the little neck sticker I used to work with. It always became an afterthought and hardly ever printed like I wanted it to.
So that...
