Just a post of caution, not that this is likely to happen to the average homebrewer... Last year I had a wood shed built which holds my brewing and woodworking equipment. The last week of December I needed to remove what was either a zinc or galvanized coating from 4 small brackets so they...

I'm just about to attach this to the wall and seal it in place. Problem is I don't have a pre-rinse which is required to clean out kettles. Those faucets are heavier and much more expensive utilizing a 3/8" NPT fitting in the center of the faucet instead of a light duty swivel type connection...

This has been in service for 11 years as my main keggerator. It is not going to win a beauty contest but has been cleaned. Nothing wrong with it as far as function goes. The drilled holes for the shanks are parallel on the outside :D I can drill more if needed. The beer storage is...

Ok, been out of the business for a few years now. Not so good at sourcing parts anymore. I can't find it locally and . Who sells micromatic 3/16 beer line with fair rates on shipping? Not a big order, I need 20', might buy 50' just so I don't have to repeat this search next year. I'm just a...

I have a bag of flaked rye from Grain Millers Inc out of Oregon. I would estimate it to be about 50% more dense than Briess. Smaller flakes, heavier. Up to now, the only brand of flaked grains I've used is Briess. The increased density has me wondering how it's going to act when wet. Best...

Looking to transfer from keg to keg pushing beer through a 2" diameter stainless tube packed with hops. This would be done at a very slow speed, several hours to transfer 5 gallons to either another 5 gallon keg or a 7 gallon keg. The problem is of course that I would have to sit there and...

I was shopping for a foam stopper for a flask used to make yeast starters and noticed various companies are stating it is safe to autoclave the foam stoppers. They will survive autoclaving, and it is an excellent way of sterilizing them - but... Many years ago one of the science supply houses...

I have an older home, built in 1978 with 240v done over "2 hots" and a ground wire. Purchased a spa gfci breaker to use in garage which has instructions pictured below. The instructions are written for the source of electricity being 4 wires only, but has option for 3 wire spa, omit a wire to...

I originally wrote this in a response to a question about element size in another section. People had responded 5500W was needed for a HERMS system. Recently I had to give it a try using folding chairs for a stand in my garage. Used a 3500W element, and had a good rolling boil with 12 gallons...

Finally getting to build a stand for ME to use! Will be HERMS, I'll control the HLT tank with an electric element. Using the burner model sometimes referred to as the banjo 14... about 10-12 inches across? How high from top of wind shield to bottom of pot? The first photo show's how I have...

That's taken care of, but will need main panel replaced within a couple of years.

I'm trying to order the hopper from monstermill, and trying to get the measurement of the width of different models. What I have here is a Schmidling, and want to fit the hopper from monstermill because it seems to have the best engineering. I'll use rivets instead of the #8 screws to assemble...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beer-or-Wine-Plate-Filter-with-6-filter-plates-/140906568111?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20ceaf99af I can include flare fittings if you don't use barbed corny keg fittings. Just going though my stuff and seeing what I don't use these days. It's in the original...

I've had discussions with dozens of people over the years about making gluten free beers that taste like something that resembles beer. Everyone seems to ignore the one thing that contributes more to flavor and aroma than other ingredients - yeast (a near exception seems to be the thread on...
