I agree, I highly doubt titos has any additives like that but I'm also not 100% sure.

So I realize this is an old thread but after looking at the patent I am a bit confused as to what is being patented... I see in the claims there is a set of criteria a, b, c etc... does the patent include all this criteria as a whole or is it any one portion of the criteria? I would think the...

Pipe smoking is great but it is also something that you should still do in moderation. I love sitting on the deck and having a bowl of fine tobacco. I own two pipes one is of standard length and the other is a churchwarden. I am 30 and I think it's too bad that tobacco is now frowned upon in...

I use the same hoses for cooling as I do for mashing so they are also exposed to the high heat. I noticed the new tubing seems to have s rougher surface so maybe it is trapping more coloring from the wort than the other tubing. My main concern was that I had somehow got ripped off and the tubing...

All the tubes have copper before them so if it picked up something from the copper I would think they would all be discolored. Also none of the tubes used during mashing stained either. It was only the new tubing that I used to finish the wort chiller. I'm just amazed that brand new silicon...

it doesn't bother me that much I was just wondering why it would happen. I am very confident is has nothing to do with temps. Its just strange to me and makes me question the quality of the hoses.

So a few days ago I brewed for the first time on my all grain setup and used my wort chiller that happens to have silicon tubing from 2 different manufacturers on it. After one run some of the tubing is stained and some of it isnt. Why would this happen? Are there some grades of silicon that...

Ok well if you are trying to standardize the homebrewing process you are in the wrong place. Lots of people here do things lots of different ways...You are the one who seems to be pushing their agenda. If you think I'm spreading false information by having a preference then whatever...

Yes I do understand what you are saying. Believe it or not, you aren't the only educated person on this forum. I dont have to use the same products everyone else uses..

I like my beer 100 percent acid cleaner free but that's just me

Chemicals used to clean vessels.

I'm more concerned that the cleaning agents used are in the wine. I dont know why but cheap liquor always makes me feel horrible. My homebrew has never given me a headache like some store bought products.

I have never tried that but it makes sense.

ok, thanks

I have found that if you avoid aeration completely the wine tastes fizzy because all the suspended c02.

I have considered tile...never thought about sheet metal as it would conduct heat but I suppose that could be an option....I was never concerned about the kettle bottom. I am more concerned about getting the wood hot.

interesting.....I might just lay some aluminum foil down or try it on bare wood and see what happens..

Yes its electric...id like to finish the tables at some point. Not sure if polyurethane would melt at 220 or not?? considering a product called spar varnish.

This is still a good topic to discuss. I just made some wine from backyard grapes and I did not add sulfites. I did pasteurize. I think sulfites are overused and sometimes not necessary at all.

I just finished my rims system and I built wooden tables for it. Does anyone have any issues with burning wooden surfaces doing a boil? I was thinking about finishing it with polyurethane or possibly some kind of marine finish...Was thinking about maybe just putting aluminum foil on the top as...
