    Don't Do That.

    Wait until you see how well it does with a decent pump, near boiling water, and sanke kegs :-). Can run one for 5 or 10 mins on the pump, pull it, start the next, and then put it on cold water for rinsing when done, swap again.

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    Nothing like giving him 10x more than Tesla ever earned. Also both of those are related. They can claim autopilot counts now and just hand the company over to him, investors be damned. In other news, had my Kona for over a year now, almost 20k miles, including a 1400mi trip up to and around...

    Chat gpt

    My apple juice is almost always right at 1.05. Also be careful which yeast and temps you use. Don’t use d48. And there’s so many good and easy cider recipes to pick from, it’s backwards to ask ChatGPT. Explore. You’ll also need yeast nutrient or at least boiled bakers yeast. Here’s the...

    What to do with starsan after keg purge

    I use tapwater to fill my keg, co2 purge, and then basically use a hop bong to put a quart of star sign in while letting a little co2 vent. Then purge that with co2. I normally only make a half gallon of star san at a time now and use distilled water

    Cold Brew Apple/Cherry Cider

    So that’d be 1.085 down to .995, 12.2% abv.

    Cold Brew Apple/Cherry Cider

    Apple juice is about 1.050 normally. 2c more sugar in only 1 gallon will bump that up well.

    Raspberry Hard Lemonade

    Look up skeeter pee, backsweeten with raspberry. The key is you don’t add all the lemon until after fermentation is done. It’s about 1/3 to keep the ph low, but not too low. Mine is about 11-12% It’s literally lemon, sugar, water, wine tannins, yeast and nutrient.

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    Yeah. I hit check for updates and it tells me this is current. Last time I hit check for updates it updated and rebooted to this older one.

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    I’ve been having an issue with my pill: it thinks and old firmware version is current. I don’t have gravity velocity or anything reported as well. In fact, it seemed to downgrade the version last time I clicked update. Can you send me a manual update file? I am able to flash with serial if...

    Gas line size for keg

    I use Eva barrier even with sankey keg couplers. You could fit them on a barb or just get adaptors. There are benefits to both.

    Has anyone tried printing a uKeg lid for a ball lock post? They are pretty expensive to buy one.
