    DIY plastic conical

    I was thinking of adding a drain near the bottom of those blue plastic ones too. Im not sure what benefit the cone might have over a drain but I imagine that being able to see through it would help tell when to open the drain. Would opening the drain regularly to check make it more prone to...

    DIY plastic conical

    Im not sure if we are on the same page but I have a local guy selling 15 gallon containers that are food grade. HDPE I would think. I thought about the possibility of heating the base up with hot water maybe and try to make it conical but I doubt that it would work out that way. A lid...

    One Way Keg as a Fermenter

    http://www.diyseattle.com/2011/09/06/one-way-keg-pics/ I uploaded them to my site as I couldnt figure out how to load them on here. I did not have a pic of the tube but pretty much you unscrew the top sanke part and the tube and spring comes out. The tube and spring are under pressure and...

    One Way Keg as a Fermenter

    The shell is egg shaped. It can all be disassembled. You can take tou the sanke keg part and use it like that. What I like is that you can sanitize it fairly easily. And all the liquid can be poured out of it. Ill post pics in a bit when I figure out how to do it. Give me a few minutes...

    Ginger "Beer" (with wine yeast)

    That is true but how many can you get from one plant at a time? In one season? It may be beneficial but it may. I have yet to look into it but I will soon.

    Ginger "Beer" (with wine yeast)

    Whatever I feel like trying to tissue culture. I dont particularly care for orchids too much but I did think about trying hops in the near future.

    Ginger "Beer" (with wine yeast)

    The pasteurizing method seems like an option for storing it for longer than what youd want to keep it int he fridge. For me I cant fill the fridge up with bottles of stuff or I may get yelled at. I already have a second fridge in the basement for my plant tissue culture and I dont want to keep...

    Ginger "Beer" (with wine yeast)

    I have been testing the readiness and refridgerating when it cant take much more but it makes me nervous and I am not a gambling man. Id like to make something that I can let suit for a while and if I forget it then I wouldnt be cleaning up a terrible mess. Most recipes that I have found are...

    Ginger "Beer" (with wine yeast)

    How did it turn out? I have been trying to make some sort of ginger drink with alcohol. I have let the sugars ferment out and it is drinkable but not enjoyable entirely, although it isnt terribly bad.
