    Curing paint on a brewstand/General Paint discussion

    I imagine the issue that the person had with chipping or flaking was because a.) they didn't prep the material or b.) didn't sand it to get the paint a surface to bond to. I've never used a high temp paint but have painted a motorcycle and the issue I saw with any flaking was because the surface...

    harvesting pumpkin ale yeast

    Has anyone ever had an issue with an off flavor of harvested yeast from a pumpkin ale? I've got wyeast 1056 in the fermenter right now and this will be my first attempt at harvesting. The recipe called for one can of pumpkin and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg and 1/2 tsp cinnamon (I added a tsp of pumpkin...

    1/2" id cfc?

    I used my home made cfc for the first time 2 days ago. it is a 20 foot 3/"8 I.D. I brewed a pumpkin ale with 2 oz of pellet hops and 16 oz of pumpkin "paste" and towards the last gallon I had a huge issue with clogging. 1/2" I.D. Would have probably resolved this issue.

    Rims tube vs element under the false bottom?

    I imagine it is to reduce the risk of scorched wort in the mash tun but I am all ears on this. Curiosity captivates.

    Loud Stirbar Simple Fix

    Sounds like a good enough idea. Does it throw or drag at all?

    Upgrading co2 regulator

    About a year ago I purchased a paintball fitting co2 regulator from Kegconnection.com. Awesome product and well worth the investment. But as time has gone on, I've realized that it is time to get a bigger tank! rather than replacing the fully functioning regulator, I want to just buy the co2 gas...

    Bicycle Mill

    Ooooo! You gotta make sure you use Shimano Ultegras on this! I can see this going in to green breweries across America in the next 5 years.

    Insulated shelving unit as a fermentation chamber

    Typically Metro racks are rated at anywhere from 250-500lbs any any given time like stated, make sure you distribute weight evenly. figure a 5 gallon fermentor weighs 40-45lbs, you should be safe putting 6 or 7 or so on there. It also depends on the clip type. I'm building a ferm chamber out...

    Pump wort without losing liquid

    I do second this notion. I spayed my motorcycle a few years back and every 10 minutes or so I would stop and drain the line or else is start shooting water. There are check valves that act as an anti-siphon that I highly recommend. On topic: what if you were to use a 2-stage pump system...
