I have 3 pots that I had all set up with weldless fittings that worked great! I mean leak proof 100% awesome and was really happy. Come winter and every single last screw nut etc has loosened up to the point of failure and I had a rather wet test run. I just can't have it loosening up every...

I agree to be careful if using essensial oils. Look for places that use it for cupcakes and treats. Also follow up with contacting the vendor to verify that its food safe.

On that I have no idea. Are you making different syrups for one carbed up water fountain like the old times, or bottling up different ones? If your bottling, I'd say just use the orange juice whole. Otherwise you are going to have to experiment, or look up on how to do a reduction. Maybe a chef...

look here for what the oils can do: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCola_%28drink%29 I do have most of the ingredients priced out. Orange essential oil is pretty cheap. How this is different than orange extract, I don't know. As for oranges, I can't think of something else that would...

Why not fresh oranges? Also look into essential oils.

The first hole is the worst. Then its no big deal after that.

the 1/2" NTP will be way to small for a heating element. use one for the valve, one for a thermometer, and one for a site gauge. Your going to have to punch a 1 1/4" hole in your pot for the element. I put mine in by offsetting it slightly from the sight gauge. I assume you mean your...

I love DIN rails. I have everything except my contactors mounted on them. I have my BCS kind of ghetto wire tied to some of the clips instead of mounting them. ebrewsupply is really a great place to go look.

do a search for plastic conicles :mug:

Juice steamer with my brew kettle as the bottom pot. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002IBQL2/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Also some sort of water/wort manifold for a centralized valve system. cheap plate chiller that can be disassembled. low cost bottle run filler caper

better come up with a preggertini for mom too. She wont be able to drink a beer.

when after you carb, turn the Co2 down to serving psi. Like10psi.

I looked at both and went with a BCS. I'm still working on setting up my system. Setting up my BCS took about an hour and made a sample process to try out when I'm ready. I went on the brewtroller irc channel and they said basically the brewtroller is more diy, BCS more cookie cutter. (I...

I'm trying to get my head around the best way to make some syrups and sodas from fruit, herbs, etc. I also want them to have some sort of shelf life. Lets take oranges, peaches and apples for instance. I know I need to heat them at some point. My first thought was to boil cut up oranges to...

Can you explain this a little more? I Do have a 15 gallon square vessel with two heat sticks in it now.

Space is the issue. I put the kettle on the top because a vent hood will need to go above it. My other option is to move the whole thing out into a detached garage, but I will only have a garden hose for water, and no drain.

I am working on re-doing my small brew area and moving up to 20 gallons. I am working on a design using Mcmaster slotted angle parts http://www.mcmaster.com/#slotted-stainless-steel-angles/=gmqx0e First, is 4664T21 overkill and I can just get away with the smaller 4664T18 (if you look at the...

I ended up making 5 gallons of soda. Honestly I think in the future I might make the following changes. Instead of chopping, using a food processor to slice up the oranges. Then take juice and left overs and put it in a grain bag. Use a LOT less ginger. That fresh ginger I had was too...

Pouring it didn't work out to well, and made it flat. I just had a glass of it unfiltered. I don't mind a tiny bit of orange pulp. I'm not sure this is ginger ale anymore. It was spicy! It has the color of mountain dew. I really should have taken a picture, but I gulped it down. I ordered more...

Carbed up to 30psi. I'm going to try it with a 1 L bottle today and see how it goes.
