Thanks dirkomatic! I found this 7.8lb tub at Big Lots for $9 so I bought it instead! Same 60/40 mix of sodium percarbonate to sodium carbonate. Cheers!

So has anybody used the Kroger brand? I'm curious if it is scented. Appears to be the same active ingredients as Sun Oxygen. A little bit more expensive at $4.50/3.5#, but still cheaper than OxiClean which I've only seen as low as $7/3#. Cheers! :mug:

Here's what I'm thinking: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/sanke-diptube-sight-glass-protector-50681/index4.html#post2270279 https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/sanke-diptube-sight-glass-protector-50681/index2.html#post522467 If you have any tips, I'm all ears! Cheers! Jer

Thanks for the offer Dr Jeff. I have already got a transaction setup with Golddigie. Cheers! :mug: Jeremy

Anybody have a couple of SANKE spears laying around collecting dust? I'm looking to make some sight glass protectors with them. Let me know? I need 3 or 4. Cheers, Jeremy

I'm curious what folks do to protect their honeywell valves from the elements. My brew rig sits outside 24/7/365. Should I try to totally enclose it in something waterproof? Or is a splash guard sufficient to keep it from getting wet. It is stored up against the house under an eave, so there...

Hi Matt, Great thread! Thanks for sharing! Did you end up skipping the HLT stirrer/agitator that you mentioned back in post #25? Cheers! Jeremy

The float valve is supposed to release gas but not liquid. The 'float' is buoyant in water/wort/liquid, but drops in gas which allows it to vent. Haven't tried 'em yet. Not sure it would help since the 'cavitation' or 'vaporization' is occurring on the negative pressure side.

AWESOME BUILD!!! I'm thinking about cruising down to the Chinese Embassy (HF) and grabbing one of those MIG welders. Quick question for you re the snippet above: Do you have trouble with vapor lock / pump priming when you do this? I begin pumping in my whirlpool chiller with 15 minutes left...

Roger that. I think the distance from the bottom of the keg to the top of the burner has a big impact... Seems I've read that 4" is ideal. That's what I'm shooting for in my build. Cheers!

Any updates on comparisons between before/after venting the skirt Outside???

Seems like that should work and it's what I'm planning to use. Did you try it?

10-4 fellas... Thanks for the feedback!!! Cheers! :mug: Jer

Got some 1/2 cup malt-sickles in the freezer now. Malted Milk anybody? Malted Latte? Yum!

From Northern Brewer - still sealed in a plastic half gallon size milk type jug. No expiration date printed that I can find. I like cgongdoli's suggesstion to freeze and use for yeast starters...

I bought an extract kit late last spring and got caught up in summer activities and never got a chance to brew it. It came with 6lb of gold LME and I'm wondering what I should do with it... Is it worth brewing with it at all? I'm in the process of trying to eliminate the extract 'twang' off...

Please report your thoughts! I'm probably gonna buy the same kettle - perhaps even two - one for MLT and one for HLT/BK. Cheers! Jeremy
