Mines almost 7' long and I think I could park my car on it without sagging. Just casters on the corners.

Are you fermenting the entire 10 gallon batch in one vessel or splitting it up? If you are fermenting in one are you pitching quite a bit more yeast than your five gallon required? Long lag times, etc = more esters and off flavors.

Hi all, I am looking for some advice about different models of vacuum sealers and which ones work well for sealing hops. There are so many mixed reviews on the shopping sites so I'm hoping the homebrewing community will be a better resource.

I went with the Sestos B2E and am quite pleased with it so far. I don't recall the cost but I bought it on amazon for I think around $27. It has the same four buttons as the Omega timer and wiring instructions can be found on this site.

Here's a few more of the inside (sorry for some fuzziness, took with phone):

Well, this control panel took quite a bit longer than I planned (both cost and time) but it is all done and working! So here's some pics. I mounted the panel with an articulating flat panel TV mount that is rated to hold more weight than the panel. I also used regulated switching power...

I just bought hop plants from Great Lakes Hops and planted them recently. Do you recommend leaving all the bines for the first year just like a rhizome? Or, should I trim off the bines I am not going to train? Thanks to all growers in advance for your advice!

The Harbor Freight pole retracts and comes in a box about five feet long, so it should fit in your car. I ordered two of them for a trellis and they appear very sturdy and should work well.

I would have to say that the only company involved that came out excellent in this thread is USAA. I'm glad it got resolved for you but too bad it had to go all the way to almost having a charge reversed by USAA to get decent customer service. However, I will still order from Auber because of...

I just bought a polysulfone pump from Chugger about two weeks ago and it was a perfect transaction. The site works fine and the pump was shipped to me very quickly. I would definitely buy again from Chugger!

Answer this question... Is it worth the possibility of ruining your entire batch if chemicals leech out versus just spending the few extra dollars for 500 degree rated silicone tubing?

So I was looking through the Harbor Freight ad and noticed the 20' retractable flag poles and got the idea to buy two of them and run a steel wire across the top of them and coir twine down to the ground. Then at harvest time I should be able to just lower the poles instead of needing a ladder...

I did eventually wind up putting a thin layer of cement board (durock) against the lower tier (and also the top tier as a precaution) just as a safeguard to prevent the same issue you are concerned about. However, I will state that my sculpture (as built) did not have any evidence of charring...

I would suggest checking out the false bottom for an Igloo cooler that Adventures in Homebrewing sells. I bought it and have had much better results sparging and have had zero stuck sparges. It costs more but is worth it. I have used both kinds and will not go back to the standard type sold by...

Thanks for the positive motivation. I have had to take a break from the build to recoup financially from xmas with all the kids. I needed the reminder once the bills get paid.

I am still building my Kal clone control panel but I have bought most of the parts already and I 100% agree with the previous two posters. I am having a great time building the CP and I have the build estimated at about $800 (I have paid out already for most of it but have some add on stuff...

If those are the model numbers then the brand of heat exchanger would be from DudaDiesel.

Also high gravity brewing has some electric brew stuff.
