I bought a used Angram CO Hand Pump off ebay. Took it apart and cleaned it. It's working great but it has a water jacket and I'm not entirely sure how it works. I assume the connections correspond to a cooled water circuit with a pump. Is this something I can fabricate myself? Or is there...

I have a finished basement with a storage area that's about 45sf and 350cf. I'd like to cool that area to cellar temps (I can live with 62, but would prefer 58). The basement windows are just too far way to duct to. I can vent into the basement or the stairwell up to the rest of the house...

Brewed on Thursday and as of yesterday I didn't have any activity (og 1.083). I repitched WLP001 from a slurry I harvested two weeks ago. I've repitched previously with no problem. After seeing no activity, I prepared a starter, which will be ready to pitch in a few hours. Overnight one of...

I have 1) Monster Mill with a 1/2" drive shaft, not keywayed but with three flattened sides 2) a motor with 1/2" drive shaft, not keywayed but with a single flattened side and 3) a gear box (reducer) with (a) a 1/2" female input, slotted for a keyway and (b) an output 1/2" drive shaft with a...

Can anyone with some engineering experience help me crunch some numbers to help me determine the tipping potential of my sculpture plan? I'd like to run it with a max potential load of 650 lbs (although, I can't imagine that I will ever exceed 400). If there are any simple structure...

I'm building a sculpture and I want to use Blichmann burners. I'm not interested in the Top Tier system (I want a single tier) but I really like how the Blichmann burners mount to the T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusions (I'll call it "TSAE" from now on). I'd like to buy my own TSAE so I can...

I brewed a lager (WPL 800) and pils (WPL 840) last Saturday (4/16), pitched the yeast Sunday morning. The lager lag time was about 9 hours while the pils was about 28 hours. It's been fermenting at 50-55 degrees. I haven't taken a reading but assuming everything is fermenting in typical...
