    44 Tip Natural Gas Burner - What BTU's?

    So forget the whole "10,000" btu's per jet thing. Like the rating on the banjo burners, I think everyone knows at this point that these ratings are way far fetched. That said, I've been able to find pretty consistently the following btu rating for the 23 and 32 tip natural gas burners: 23...

    Moisture in Refractometer!

    So it looks like some water made it into my refractometer. I can barely read it at this point and upon closer examination I see some "fog" on the inside glass. Has this happened to anyone else? Can I open it up and dry it out?

    Pacific Hydrostar (Harbor Freight) Pumps

    I see a lot of folks are using these submersible pond type pumps for keg/carboy cleaning... running PBW and/or starsan through them. I'm wondering what type of plastic these pumps are made from? Safe for contact with PBW and Starsan? Here's some links to a few of them I've seen others...

    Help figure out low efficiency...

    I'll just start right off by saying that I know the beer will turn out fine. It'll taste great (I'm sure) and I'll enjoy drinking it. This question is to try and fiugure out where I went wrong in the process more than anything. So here's the deal. I'm on a 25gal system and have this Imperial...

    ThermoWorks Therma K

    Anyone have experience with the Therma K thermometer? http://www.thermoworks.com/products/handheld/therma_k.html Only about 10 bucks more than the thermapen and I like the idea of having the probe separate from the unit. With the probe included it appears as though the accuracy is a tiny bit...

    SRM -> MCU Conversion Formula??

    Greetings. I have a need to convert an existing SRM to MCU. All I can find is how to get SRM from MCU, not MCU from SRM. If I wasn't an algebraic moron, I could certainly re-calc the formula for SRM: SRM color = 1.4922 * (MCU ** 0.6859) Can anyone help? I want to get the MCU from and...

    Sanitize Aluminium - 30 seconds in Starsan Okay?

    Just picked up a cool aluminium yard stick on the cheap that I was wanting to use to check post boil volumes in the kettle... which means I need to be able to sanitize it. I know you don't want to leave starsan in contact with aluminium for extended periods of time (similar to copper), but...

    Sankey Coupler Beer-Out Cap-Off?

    Anyone ever rig up a standard "D" Sankey coupler specifically for force carbing beer? I know I can just leave the beer-out attached to the faucet to force carb... and I know I can buy a valve that I can screw onto the beer-out port to act as a cap-off. The valve for the coupler is 25 bucks...
