    Vulcan-Hart Steam Kettle Find BIAB

    Really nice looking unit! My LHBS founded it's buisness model by installing a row of those and advertising in large letters: "Beer! Brew it here!" I'm looking forward to seeing you build this up. I am wondering at that statement though; LP is gas.. do you mean propane? If so, I'm pretty...

    Have I lost the chrome plate here?

    Aesthetics, quality build, and long-term availability of parts: Perlick SS Ugly but quality built, long-term availablity of parts and less costly: Nukatap SS The most important part is the Stainless steel; Drink the beer, not the hardware! -Just my 2-cents. :mug:

    how about a meme generator thread...

    Good experiences on tennis courts: Ghetto-blaster playing ABBA and roller-skates! .....just watch out for those small stones. 🛼:ban::bigmug:

    Clean my fermenter keg from stains/dirt?

    First: +1 to both the above posts. If you haven't used PBW (or the homemade version) before, it'll be an epiphany. Second: I see from your other posts that you're an avid DIY'er so this should be right up your alley; Build a keg washer. Here's my barebones prototype: I use PBW at 130°...

    what does the pbw powder taste like?

    ADDENDUM: PBW does NOT pair well with oatmeal stout!

    what does the pbw powder taste like?

    BBBLLLLLLEEEEEEECCCHHHHHH!!!!!! Damn it!... I read your post too fast to begin with and the part about 'both are sweet to taste' went right past me and since we're all saying pretty much the same thing; I went and just tasted PBW :p It is anything but sweet!!!! It tastes like early-seventies...

    what does the pbw powder taste like?

    Dextrose is usually ground significantly finer than PBW, which tends toward coarse. Just mix a small amount with water if you're still not sure; The PBW will feel slimey, dextrose not so much.. plus; in cold water the dextrose will dissolve much faster.

    converting a 110 outlet to 220

    You should replace that key-ring between the 2 keys with a 10AWG key-ring. :ban:

    Modelo?

    I have a local Mexican restaurant I've been going to for 30 years and I always delight in having a Negra Modelo with my meal. I've tried the Especial and thought it tasted like BMC piss. I also occasionally enjoy Dos Equis Ambar, Cerveza and Sol. I won't recommend the Especial, but if you can...

    Equipment set up

    Is there a heatsink on the back of the unit? I can see the element power coming out of some 30A relays plugged into DIN rail mounts, but I can't see any feed from a Solid State Relay. I can see an old Radio Shack proto board, but can't identify the components... I really hope someone didn't...

    Equipment set up

    I notice though you signed up last year, this is your first post, so; Belated Welcome to HBT! :) ..just a tip though: There is no such thing as too much information that pertains to the equipment or process you're asking a question about on here. The more details we know, the quicker we can...

    Best line from a song

    I dunno why it took me so long to recall this one... When Kurt Cobain blew his brains out, a lot of his pop-mentality 'fans' asked 'why?', to which I'd qoute his words... The blank uncomprehending stare I got in response never failed to make me laugh; He's the one who likes all our pretty songs...

    Equipment set up

    It's very dark in the case... think you could light it up and take some more pictures? I don't see a single SSR or heatsink and can't read anything on the components. Is this unit complete? Did you buy it new/used or DIY?

    Duotight beer filter

    If you can get one for cheap and you don't mind the extra work to get it properly purged, it may do what you want it to... like I said; doesn't work for me, but I've read others who love it. Have you considered the smaller 'beer buddy' type filters...
