    Microwave RIM system

    Well, if I attempt this it will really be a preheater for my boils. After reading the thread on using the tankless water heater this sounds like a viable alternative the that. Does that sound like a good idea to you guys? Then again, the guys on the hookah forum thought the charcoal in the...

    Microwave RIM system

    I'm not real sure. The coal was not wet. But I guess there were pockets with just enough moisture to to heat and rapidly build pressure to cause the little mini-explosions. The guys on the hookah forum still laugh about that video. :) As far as this microwave idea you guys are throwing...

    Microwave RIM system

    I'm just hoping whoever tries this makes a video. Some guys on the hookah forum I frequent said they started natural coals in a microwave with great success. Others popped in and said that they tried it as well and it worked. For giggles I decided to video tape it. Hopefully you guys get...

    Anyone use a tankles hotwater heater?

    I would guess that this would differ between brands and models but my gut tells me these have a thermostat controlled system that does not allow the water to get hotter than 135F for safety reasons. Some systems *may* be able to handle producing hotter water if the thermostat was bypassed...

    More air space for 22 ounce bottles?

    Thanks guys! I bought a couple of corny kegs and have my CO2 tank and reg and I was really close to kegging. But the mini-fridge I have is an older Sanyo with the freezer compartment that is a little too low for the corny and is going to require some tweaking. I may take some pics and post a...

    More air space for 22 ounce bottles?

    I guess I could not figure out a good wording for a search but I could not find anything. I bottled my first batch yesterday. A friend of mine gave me 3 cases of 22 oz. bottles. I remembered seeing a link to a vid from here that said you want about an inch of air space from the top when you...

    swing top bottles

    I never heard of or drank the stuff either. When I bought some used brewing equipment the guy gave me a few bottls, all were cappers except the one Salado Creek. The picture I posted is from Google. I will take a better pic of the one I have. They are very impressive looking.

    200 gallon conicle fermentor?

    I am getting a real good deal on these. I am keeping one and selling the other for $500. The only thing I can figure is maybe the guy made a New Years resolution to try and be nicer :)

    Submersible weldless thermometer?

    Do you have a Harbor Freight nearby? They have some pretty descent sub pumps that will move a lot of water for less than $50. I have to dig mine out of the garage from hell that I bought for another application and was very pleased with it. This is not like mine but it will give you an idea...

    200 gallon conicle fermentor?

    Haha!!! All those guys in DC are drunks already.... so I guess there goes that theory :( On a sad note, here is an actual microbrewery selling out http://cgi.ebay.com/15-BBL-Micro-Brewery-BREWHOUSE-FOR-SALE_W0QQitemZ150073959784QQihZ005QQcategoryZ11809QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    200 gallon conicle fermentor?

    Dang Dibby you may be onto something :) We should distribute free beer all over Iraq and Afghanistan. I have yet to ever not like a person that gave me free beeri !

    200 gallon conicle fermentor?

    yep, it would have to be for a beer commune or something :cross: But anyone with dreams of having a microbrewery one day would be set. Start a local kegerator klub and have a group that everybody pitches in towards the cause and have them bring their mini-kegs, cornys, bottles or whatever on...

    200 gallon conicle fermentor?

    Well, the good news is it was not a microbrewery. I pulled this label off the side of one because I could not read it or take a pic.

    200 gallon conicle fermentor?

    Scrap price puts these just over $500. I had no idea stainless was up that much. I would not want to pay much more than that even though there is no telling what they cost new. It would take a pretty hardcore brewer to spend anywhere near actual industry value. Once I get a set price for them...
