    Corny keg portable eyewash station

    Yeah $30-$40 craigslist kegs don't exist everywhere. Right now there isn't a single keg on there in a 3 hour radius of me. I already have a few kegs so it's not like I really need another but free is free. It's been pressure washed, steam cleaned, and looks like any of the kegs I got new.:mug...

    Corny keg portable eyewash station

    Overall shot It's nasty but it's nasty with soap gunk. A wet rag and it cleans up like a new keg. I'm gonna pressure wash it when it's not 100 degrees out. The label and my concern. I figured since the antibacterial additive is meant to be safe to spray in your eyes surely it can't be...

    Corny keg portable eyewash station

    Just had a buddy give me an emergency eyewash station that uses a keg to hold the water. I used to sell eye wash equipment years ago and never seen anything like this. It was used in a place that used to mix soaps so the outside is crudded up with sticky soap residue and dirt but I figured it...

    Starving and only allowed to drink water, I'd rather not talk about why

    Plasti-dip

    We done the inside and outside of my buddys and our shop fridge in line-x when our buddy worked at a shop that done it. Added a ton of weight but I think they are bullet proof now. Gonna hate it if the fridge ever goes out.

    What is this? (From Japan)

    Being Japanese there is honestly no telling. Way different culture over there and even between generations they have no clue what's up. The kids change trends over there faster than a teen grows zits.

    Brew bucket ques

    Check local restaurants or bakeries. Often for a few bucks they will save their buckets for you if they don't just give them away. My mother works at a school cafeteria and I get about a dozen a year free from there.

    Beer and guns

    There is a guy near here that sells those old ammo crates for $5 a pop. Personally I like ammo cans better.

    Dish Detergent - Bottles

    If it hasn't been a problem in the past, works for you, you're happy with it, then why make a problem of it now. Then again I drink beer cause I like the flavor not because it looks pretty getting hot in the glass.

    Any ideas for repurposing scratched carboys?

    Urinal/septic tank Dad uses the funnel part in the top of his deer stand as a urinal, hose runs down to another one buried in the ground. He drilled holes in the bottom of it, filled it with pea gravel, and buried it on a bed of gravel.

    Bottled for the first time... Damn, I hate bottling buckets!

    You must ride on nice flat paved roads or only riding across the street. I've yet to see a bottle not pop the top after riding around in a cooler for more than 30 minutes on the back of a 4 wheeler in the woods. I remember my grandpa laughing while I put bottles in the cooler right after I...

    Fountain Pens

    If I could find a good pencil kit I liked and could modify for a soapstone and awl I might have to make a set of foo foo marking instruments for myself.

    Williams Carboy with Spigot

    Just my humble opinion, spigots on fermenters just add a spot for possible infection to take place. Something else to clean that doesn't have to be there. If it makes you happy then go for it.

    Bottled for the first time... Damn, I hate bottling buckets!

    Actually they can. Bottles pop the tops on the back of a 4 wheeler. When I plan on a ride I used to use a tap a draft but came across a 2.5 gallon keg for cheap I now use.

    No airlock bubbles. Stopper leaking?

    On one gallon jugs I still use sanitized balloons with a pin hole in them. Honestly don't think the multiple pieces of a stopper and airlock are any better as long as you watch and don't let it suck back at the end.

    Question about juice wine?

    Cold makes yeast dormant, most all of us store our yeast in the fridge. Once the yeast is warmed back up just take a small glass of your juice and mix some sugar in it. With it all at room temp dump the yeast in it and cover the cup with plastic wrap. Wait 10-15 minutes (most the time won't...

    plum wine

    Sounds about like the one I use. I don't trust universal sugar additions and adjust to how sweet the plums are. Most of the time I don't use but maybe 2 lbs at the most. I use my own sanitizing means. Don't boil my water. Don't let mine sit. I've done it in the past on some wines and really...
