Often the signs of over watering and under watering are never the same, Simple to prove if your to lazy to do a search, just do a small controlled study 2 plants same type same size give 1 twice the water as the other you'll have your proof in very short order. someone has no clue of what they...

Sounds like they got to much water ! http://www.vegetablecorner.com/gardening-tips/signs-of-over-watering-plants.php

Just wanted to let all my fellow Home Brewers Know I'm still brewing and my neighbors being the free loaders they quite appreciate it ,Not complaining ! its kinda neat being the center of attraction ,I'm still trying to convert most of them from being just consumers to brewers, No luck so...

what i'm talking about is an emersion type chiller,where water from your sink flows though the tubing,not the wort ! suprised you didnt pick up on that beings i mentioned the things seem to cool from on the outside edges, and yes these thing are flawed . I believe they should cool a larger area...

Ok then thats the plan thanks bud !

Well really it the kinda stunt a newbie would try pull , I'm trying to cut a small corner you see i'm not suppose to move from the second formentor yet for another week and i wanted to bottle this weekend, i was thinking by priming it now so what if the yeast has its last minute meal i just dont...

Thinking about transfuring the wort from the secondary formentor into the bottling bucket with the primer but i'am not ready to bottle right away you know i still need to clean bottles. could i let it sit in the bottling bucket for a couple day ?

not to sure for myself if silver is the way to go as it requires far more heat to solder and copper being so soft anyway it just may prove to be to difficault that all so depend on your tubing stock. I also dont believe a lead based solder is going to contamate the wort either, **** man most of...

Walker , could you direct me to these chillers you mentioned ? dont want to waist time doing something already done, even though i'ld make myself one reguardless . i'ld be doing strickly 5 gal batch's for now and 10 gal in 5 minutes wouldnt be bad at all but as limited as my plans are at this...

Hey all ! After what i will reluctantly refer to as my 1st attempt failure to chill my wort using the Ole snow bank and spooning the wort, I've been reading alot of post on chillers as well as looking into whats on the market for sale, I've decided to design and produce the ultimate chiller. I...

Great thread ! saved me from asking this question later on down the road. Thanks all !

Oh yeah i would try this type pot on a stove like my wifes, to much like a hole lot of work !

That turkey fryer seems to be the ticket and your brew pots perfect, i mean way better than the light weight thing i brewed my 1st batch in last week. the wifes stove is a new fangled piece of crap, its electric with complete glass top burners the dard thing has some type limit swich and it...

oh yeah one other thing, the brew book i've got suggest primming to a bottling bucket befor bottling ,cant the primer be added to the bottles instead ? it just seems as if what little action by the flow of the beer into the bucket would be enough to mix all that well.

Great news , Thanks!
