Does anyone have a link to current and historical steel prices? Mostly looking for I-beam and tubing. Everything I seem to find is subscription based. Thanks

Can anyone tell me the difference betweeen these two kits sold by Northern brewer. One is $60 and the other is $36. Does anyone have any experience with one vs the other. http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/the-oxynater.html...

I saw a nice template someone on the forum made a few weeks ago and I cannot seem to locate it. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I think it was a word document that had templates for bottle tags. I've used the search function, but am coming up empty handed. Thanks

First and foremost, this is not completely new. Recently Member "jpc" showed off his new keg washer, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/my-cheap-easy-keg-washer-109684/#post1209374 I loved the idea and knew that I had the same 1/6 HP submersible pump in the garage. What I am contributing to...

So everyone here knows that Oxy Clean will clean just about anything. I was cleaning a gas piston on a beretta autoloading shotgun last night and thought about how much I'd love to drop that piston in some concentrated oxy clean for at an hour or so and then clean, dry, and oil it. Does this...

I'm sharing an idea I've had for an in-line sight glass. I will use it to monitor the clarification of the wort as well as monitor run-off color. I picked up a 1/2" diameter 8" long borosilicate glass tube from McMaster yesterday for less then $10. (3723K11) I plan to insert the sight glass...

My new system had it's second run this weekend. Things went very well. I thought I would post a few pics of my set-up and hope that others can draw some ideas from it. The basics of the Nieuw Sassenheim Brewery are as follows: -Stainless Steel Prep Table for base, casters added for...

I have been refinishing our basement for the past few months, carpet is on order and I am ready to work on the bar. Nothing elaborate for the time being, the Kegerator is in the garage and the "Brewery" is on the other side of the basement. But I am trying to decide what to do for the top of...

I have been working on a HERMS system for several months and yesterday I had the time to get my panel wired. Turns out one of my 25 Amp SSR is bad (Always On), the other one is fine. I spoke with Auberins on the phone this afternoon and he told me they are having issues with those Relays...

Tuesday was trash day and someone in my neighborhood was throwing away an old school dehumidifier. A cursory glance indicates 60's era. The back has about 40' of 1/2" or 3/8" of soft copper coiled up. Obviously a coil for refrigerant, which may or may not be in there. If I take it apart...

This is not to discuss the pros and cons of Hole Saw vs. Step Bit. I have a step-bit that is great for 1" holes but I know that it is too small for my water heater element. I did a test run with my PID and element in an old fermenter. For anyone who has used a hole saw for a 1" Straight...

Beer sales slip across Europe; pricey brands down in U.S. - USATODAY.com

It almost seems to easy. 1000W 120V Immersion Bucket Heater. I have seem them all over the web, but Tractor Supply sells them as well. Tractor Supply Company - Allied Bucket Heater I fully understand it is only 1000W and little low on wattage, but it seems to be a good alternative to...

Does anyone have any experience with using a keggle as a fermenter? I have a keggle that I use as an HLT that has a stainless ball valve on it and that's it. I know it wouldn't seal up air tight, but that has been debated enough and does not seem to be an issue. I have a copper dip tube...

I had a small boil over when making a starter on a glass cooktop a few weeks ago and I can't seem to get the offending ring off of the new cooktop. I have used Ceramabrite (Which the manufacturer recommends) and an Oxy Clean solution to try and dissolve it. A lot has come off, but it is still...

I opened up a White Labs Tube of San Francisco Ale Yeast last weekend. It had been warming up from refrigerated temps at the LHBS to ambient (69F) over a period of 3-4 hours. When I opened it up, it spewed out all over the place like a coke being opened up. I pitched it none the less before I...

What do people do to clean their spigots from bottling, or from their primary? I used one with the Williams "Invert Tube" to make a "siphonless primary" and I became more concerned since it was in contact with the beer for a few weeks. Does the red portion pop out of the clear portion to...

Well I managed to stumble through my first AG about a month ago and am ready to tackle my 2nd. (Single Infusion, batch sparge) The 1st went suprisingly well, save the fact that I didn't take into account a temperature correction when checking the gravity of my 1st and 2nd runnings. I freaked...

Anybody have any experience with one of these things? It looks like it could be great for a HLT or at least some extract sessions this winter...or is everybody thinking this and this is why they are out of stock? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7811421

Just getting back in the swing of things here, but I've got the bug...BAD! Looking forward to learning from everyone's experiences.
