This is an old post, but I had the same idea today and wanted to throw my idea in the hat. I have a second hand Mettler Toledo SG meter from work. It uses a small glass U shaped tube that's mounted to a resonator. It basically vibrates the tube at a precise frequency, and has either a magnetic...

I'm glad I used kits at first because it removed a few variables from my process. It let me focus on sensitization, and proper procedures without worrying too much about the ingredients. I knew that the kit wasn't going to fight me, and I could focus on getting good at brewing/ fermenting/...

In!

Not much. I try not to go there. The guy behind the counter always looks at me funny when I ask for things, and they are a "Self Serve" HBS.

Do not pressurize a growler. It will explode.

It depends on the specifications of the SSR. Some are made to run cooler. Most of the cheaper ones are not. The datasheet is the easiest way to figure it out. If you have enough surface area on your panel you may be able to use it as a sink, but you need to consider surface area, personel...

I throw mine in right as I flameout. I use no-foam too, so it helps to prevent sputtering. You can still boil it over if you're careless though. Don't add any powders during the boil. I threw some yeast nutrient in late and it made quite the mess! :)

They uprgraded my yeast to WP001 for free once because they where out of activator, without even asking me. Good group in my eyes.

Thanks for the input. Guess I'm reading into it too much. :)

I've read in various places that no-foam helps with hop isomerization. Has there ever been any hard numbers or formulas for this? I'm mainly curious because I do partial boil extract, and I'm curious if it's adding more bitterness to the brew than the recipe accounts for. I know most partial...

I would sell the slc and get a click from automationdirect. Their software is free and better organized. The biggest advantage is they are compact and the terminals are tighter.

I have one of those ignitors. It will arc all over the back of itself. Even through electrical tape. You have to coat and cover all the connections with silicone rtv.

The macro line is rated for a much higher preassure.

Bacteria loves wood.

Yep. It's a veeery thin pot. I have one just like the OP's that's why I mentioned the stress risers on page 1. All the bit has to do is bind and the metal will split. I measured 20 thousandths on the top, so imagine what the grooves are!

Two big stainless washers. Curve them to the pot. Solder them together inside to seal them.

The problem with that type of metal is the press marks. There's a stress riser at every groove there, ant the metal is thin to begin with. I agree with everyone else though. Just even it out and solder it. It should be strong enough.

I'm a control and automation specialist/ industrial mechanic. I make Insulin.

Look for Oxicleen "Free". It doesn't have anything but soap in it.

I like humming bird with a nice ribeye. It matches for some reason.
