I'll give it a shot if you send a code. Thanks so much in advance.

As for the cork float idea, I have lost maybe a $600-700 batch of wine that tasted perfect to tainted corks. It did not matter that I tried to sanitize them--they were bad through and through. I ended up tossing all the remainder of the corks I have on hand, and that was a sin. For that reason...

[bump] I think the variation in this idea is creative; I'm curious to hear about any bench tests (i.e. just cooling boiling water) or real world tests (i.e. on a brew day). Thanks, MMJ

Subscribed. This is interesting. My bet is on a small amount of brewing yeast in the fermenter, or perhaps something that had a brewer's yeast strain on it (even mutated) perhaps from nearby surfaces. It just looks too much like the "real thing" to not be the real thing, if that makes any...

Right. Well, I wish you the best of luck. IMO, you are foolish to do this in the face of all of the buzz here online. There isn't just ONE customer unhappy, or haven't you noticed all of the posts? Contrary to what Marcus is telling prospective customers now, I can speak to my circumstances...

Oops, I think perhaps you did phrase it right, Bobby; I just read it wrong. My bad. MMJ

Hey OneHoppyGuy, Well, I have nothing to sell; I ordered my brew sculpture from Brewer's Equipment many months ago, and have nothing to show for it yet. But if I don't get the stand and I get a refund instead, I'm back in the market. I surfed around and saw your stuff online--nice looking...

Well, I'm going to check in on this thread and also keep checking in and posting (on this and other threads) until my situation is resolved. I think that people should know my experience when they are considering buying a stand from Brewer's Equipment. To be fair, when my issue is resolved, I'll...

Thanks for the update, Catt 22. I am still interested and tracking this thread. One of the cool things about homebrewing is to see what the "other guy" is doing. Sometimes that's led the whole community down a different path; pretty cool. I've always thought there had to be a better mousetrap...

Wow, I'm surprised no one commented on that video. (No connected to company in any way, yada, yada...). Yes, please report back on how that material works out as a MT jacket. In fact, if you could, please PM me when you post, as I may miss it on the forum. I've been doing the cooler thing for...

Thanks mmurray, this is helpful. There's a local shop that's clearing out the old gear to make way for the new. I'm in the SF Bay area, so it isn't uncommon to see wine-based deals this time of year. Vendors want to unload stock before they do orders from overseas. I've got some deals this...

Thanks for your reply Gush, A hole saw is mentioned in either my post or one of the responses above. It will work, although I'll need to "hammer on it," i.e. be aggressive with it. But it works. Once that hole is on the one side, I have used a drill bit that is over a foot long to then drill...

I suppose it couldn't hurt to put an ad on Craigslist--"Wanted for trade: A/C help for (lots of) beer?" Thanks, MMJ

Yeah, I really did give that some thought. But I go back to two issues: 1) The whole issue of it being a gigantic PITA to cut these things. The larger the hole, the bigger the pain. Can't emphasize that enough. Think jagged, sharp edges. Also, they were difficult to cut laying down, prior to...

Howdy y'all, I'm a long time reader with my first post; I usually find what I need on here or the web, but I'm really stumped and need your help: So I had the amazing fortune of finding several one-foot thick structural insulated panels. They are faced with powder coated sheet metal. They...

Sometimes I also wonder about actual versus real value. But let’s talk about value: I never purchase kits; I always craft recipes on my own, or spend time tweaking other recipes before I do them. Yet I found added value in the $20 kits, beyond the price. My LHBS is anything but local--two...
