That's exactly how I do it when I don't get enough aeration when I pour it from the (chilled) wort tun.

Go for it. I got 4 for $100 shipped off ebay. They're a little dented in a few places (especially the rims), but they were worth it!

I recently got four more Cornelius kegs so that I could keg my brews and have them sit for a while (as in long enough for me to take my exams and then enjoy the holiday spirits). Things have happened. Not pleasant things. When I kegged this time, my EPA got a bit of a rough bite to it. It's not...

You need ventilation. Just remove the closet door. Put the screws back in the threshold so that you don't lose them.

Yes, there is a way, but you would have to either buy expensive equipment or spend a lot of time fabricating.

Teflon for NPT fittings and nothing for flared fittings

HAH. I would NEVER run antifreeze through my food setup to chill my beer. Dangerous, dangerous. It may be permissible for the French to prepare their alcohols with ethylene glycol, but things are a little different over there...

Stake of the art...

Close the valve when you're done dispensing for the day.

As long as it has its color, it should be fine.

That shouldn't matter, though. Most companies deal with cylinder trade-ins. Trade the CO2 cylinder for one filled with "beer gas" (heheheh) for a minimal charge.

If your false bottom is above the heating element, the configuration should allow for more even heating of the mash unless your false bottom is made of plastic and has no holes... Heat gradually, and stir frequently.

IMPOSSIBLE? Try friction welding ;)

Tell her that if she buys this for you, you will spend less time crushing grain and therefore more time with her...as long as she thinks that that is a good thing.

You could get a low-power inverter TIG machine with pulser and all for about half that. With a backpurge of argon, a pinhole leak could be fixed with about a second of welding. For what these stooges are charging, they are not doing their job. Ideas: 1. Hire competent welders 2. Inspect...

If you're using a heat exchanger, you're not really limiting yourself unless the heat exchanger breaks or something.

Absolutely not. Industrial UV light sources tend to put out tens or hundreds of times as much light as you would get from solar exposure on the ground. They are designed with this in mind. Did your barber ever tell you as a kid that you would get welding spots if you looked under the UV lamp...

Watch your temperatures. When you're mashing for the first time, you aren't done until the mash tastes candy sweet. Not potato-like, unless you are going for a starchy beer. If your temperatures go too high and destroy your enzymes, add some more malt, as that contains more alpha and beta...

That's why you meet him in person when you're dealing with Craigslist ;)

Bad idea. That's dishonest. Does your mom know that it's past your bedtime? Just look on the crimp. It's easy to tell because there are slanted impressions on the crimp corresponding to the threads. I've bottled dozens of twist-offs and have never had a bad one.
