    Stories say it was cleaning beer out, so I would guess it wasn't new.

    Cannot Syphon Properly - Primary only?

    If this beer is in fact high in co2 then you are experiencing something similar to cavitation in pumps. Gas is escaping/forced out of solution. slowing down flow should help here. Using a pinch valve to slow it down while filling. Or using a larger diameter tubing. The other option is that...

    Need Water Proof Labels!

    I use waterproof laser printer labels from onlinelabels.com with a color laser printer. None of the "ink jet" labels will hold ink, despite being "waterproof". Just the label survives. realize this means usually they are harder to get off.

    I think adding it 8 hours later is more dangerous than not doing it at all.....

    Increasing ferm temps with aquarium heater question

    Just make sure you're setting the temp using a separate thermometer. The thermometers in aquarium heaters are off by as much as 7 or 8 degrees.

    Building permits for a dedicated brewing room - hints?

    assuming home brewing of beer is completely legal and everything is up to code, I think your contractor is a silly old fashioned man who is afraid to just do his job..... Don't lie or try to cover anything up, it looks suspicious. You don't want to deal with a pissed off inspector. Be...

    Wort not wanting to boil

    Well... don't use a propane burner on your deck.... It is probably illegal, for starters. Put it in the driveway or on the ground. If worst case happens and it tips, your deck will be on fire before you can even react. 50,000 BTU's of raging flame will get it going in a heartbeat! Good...

    This forum seems to be getting bit$chy

    I think that like every damn forum on the internet, this one suffers from the same problems as many others. Having been a home brewer for 10 years and having 10,000 posts does not give you the right to be a self righteous ****** bag. If you cannot walk into a thread asking for help and...

    Anyone get arrested for brewing or mistaken identity?

    But what people don't understand here is that NO one was "busted". Fire hazards that were ILLEGAL were removed. jesus mary mother of god.

    Anyone get arrested for brewing or mistaken identity?

    Maybe the OP can ask his friend for a pic of the carnage and the note. It'd do wonders to help me understand this Fukushima like destruction that ensued following Hurricane Fire Department. Does anyone notice this story lacks all of the anonymity of internet folk lore? No location. No full...

    Anyone get arrested for brewing or mistaken identity?

    1) The story obviously lacks solid facts. The basics from the story indicate that the fire department did everything related to this incident. I'm not sure what cops actually have to do with the story. The fire department made entry. the fire department took the tanks. The fire department looked...

    chalkboard paint... slightly different use

    The paint scratches off very easily. No way it'll hold up. I'm going to take some bottles and media blast them to see if the paint stays better. Might be a week before we're done.

    Anyone get arrested for brewing or mistaken identity?

    They CAN consent to a fire department inspection. There was no criminal search done here. I'm not really sure why people get so friggin emo about this crap.

    For the price of that 50 gpd unit from airwaterice(actually 30ish dollars cheaper). you can get a 6 stage 150 gpd drinking water setup from purewaterclub. Shipped for free. Notice the difference in cost between 50 and 150 gpd??? http://www.purewaterclub.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=88_58 I...

    Inexpensive (but good) reverse osmosis system?

    I've been using a few different purewaterclub.com units for years. I am an aquarium fertilizer manufacturer(www.rootmedic.com) and run a business maintaining about 3 dozen setups in businesses. Our water is like liquid rock around here and RO/Di is a must. The Purewaterclub units are priced...
