Honey is a natural antiseptic, some honey is VERY antiseptic. This can cause a lot of problems for the home brewer.

If you're talking to me, nope, didn't miss that. Did you miss this: "the adjustment screw seems to be crazy tight. No way can I adjust it easily" We don't have a clue where the adj screw is or what it is doing. Which is why it needs to be taken apart and properly serviced.

Maybe I'm mis-interpreting what was written in a couple of posts above, but all regulators for all high pressure gasses I have ever used in my entire life, you screw in the adj to get more pressure out. That being said: The regulator is a simple device. With the proper tools AND the regulator...

Which now reminds me, I must have several cappers. The original I got from my dad. Which I wore out the one "gear" that was used to cap every bottle. Had to put a block under the bottle so I could use the next gear. Guess I'll deal with those another day.

Going to keep these for the memories. Bought a couple of hydrometers when I was a kid. Couldn't get them to work. Then I realized they were for syrup. Just a little bit higher gravity than what we deal with, LOL. And seriously, when I started, the caps had cork. It was a bout the time I started...

I know, huh? People are so spoiled these days, can't even hardly give things away.

And you know what else I found? The original box of slant tubes. Still has 20 brand new and unused tubes.

Figured I might as well take the floor corker to him as well.

Then I said screw it. I'll take them to a local brew shop and see if he wants them for free. Nine altogether. I'm keeping one, an older one, and my sweetie has a friend who wants one. Otherwise, I'll probably just take a hammer to them and to the dump they go . . .

Put those three on the front lawn like I said.

Most everything is now gone. Have 16 of the slant tubes left. And a couple of the "larger" items are spoken for. Even the glassware found a home; which looks like that post got deleted by the mods. Thanks for the interest though.

Forgot all about the carboys. I've got 9 of them, I'll probably keep one, but the others are going. Any takers, let me know. Think I'll put three on the front lawn for a week and see what happens.

Freezer space in my house is a commodity. And the last thing I want is anybody else messing with my yeast!

That's very interesting, I've never heard of storing yeast that way (or any way) in a freezer. I guess the only real down side is you need the freezer space.

I don't know what the term "pressure can" means. I just take fresh wort straight from the cooled boil and prep in mason jars the same as you would for a fresh vegetable, in a pressure cooker.
