Didn't work for me. I ended up converting a coat closet into my fermentation chamber. Insulated the inside with 2" thick foam board, ran 100' of 3/8" copper tubing inside the chamber, removed the guts from a mini fridge and put the freezer shelf inside ice chest with 50/50 antifreeze/water...

I'm a bagless extract brewer. I dump my specialty grains in 150-155deg water stir occasionally, pour it through a SS strainer into my boil pot, and strain again from pot to bucket for cooling

I can only speak for myself...and the mrs 'cause she's at the gym...but I would argue that kid energy keeps you fit both mentally and physically. We raised four kids who did theater, sports, cheer leading, agriculture, student body, community volunteer. Their energy was contagious and we...

We are more than sperm donors ! A man has the right to make that choice. Pardon my distraction from the topic at hand :) butt since we're already talking about parts down under I had my third hernia repair and the day after I was released my appendicitis decided he wanted out too...

I was introduced to home brewing 16 mos ago and I can honestly say that I haven't had a dry carboy since day one. Bottled: Brown Ale Amber Ale Blonde Ale Ginger Imperial Stout Black IPA Milk Stout Irish Stout Red Ale Pale Ale Blue Moon Clone Ginger Beer California PA Hef Cream...

I used a hydro. Maybe my problem is in sampling. My OG sample comes off the top right before I add yeast. My FG sample comes from the bottom of the carboy after I siphoned off for bottling. I'd wait a minute to let things settle but still...Could it be...?

IDK "submersion welding" there's sub-arc where a granular flux pours ontop ofthe weld puddle typically used to weld a butt joint in the 1G or 2G position. Self-shielding flux-core wire (fcaw-s) is the standard electrode used for onsite welding today. Got wind...No problem. In Calif NR-232...

Welders who don't chip their welds piss me off. How much time does it take to knock the slag off a weld...Seconds! In fact when the machine is dialed in the slag will lift right off the weld. I'm a welding-concrete-masonry-high strength bolt inspector and from time to time I come across a...

No solder needed. Grommet must be for 1/8" thick material or it will drive you to drinking trying to get it set in your hole

3/8" OD copper wort tube inside 5/8" garden chill hose and two 1/2" x 1/2" fittings with 7/16" hole drilled in the elbow for a 3/8" rubber grommet and there she be. I have a bypass valve on my temp controlled ferm chamber and can run 50% glycol at 10F deg through the chill hose and the wort...

My simple chiller. I drilled a 7/16" hole into the elbow of 1/2" x 1/2" fittings put in a rubber grommet for the 3/8" copper wort tube and run 50% glycol at 10 deg through the outside hose. It comes out ready for yeast

Call me a simpleton but mash, partial mash, brew in a bag, or stuffing it in my sock is all just soaking grain to me. More a difference of volume and time. I've done some all-grain but I'm sticking with extract and specialty grain. I bring 2gal water up to temp dump in my grain monitor...

Sorry for not replying sooner. Living in Sac Valley it rarely gets below 50 deg for any length of time but if I need to heat my chamber I'll use a waterbed heater. Side note: I replaced the small igloo cooler with a larger one so I can completely submerge the cooling unit. The real test will...

I’m just finishing my chamber build using a mini-fridge. I used one that had a little freezer compartment. I built a wooden frame that supports two removable shelves and an overhead beam inside a 2ft x 2ft cupboard. 1” foam was used to insulate the chamber and a drainpipe installed in the...
