My local HD in Encinitas had them in the Outdoor Garden area. Had about 3 or 4 of them at the time.

Awesome it turned out. I think my first two (still in secondary) are a bit of a wash. Both didn't ferment out as far as I expected (mashed kinda higher temp range). The third a Stone Ruination Clone in all avenues went better and only 3 days into fermentation so we'll see.

Nova, I used whatever o-rings they had at Home Depot. In the bathroom faucet row of all places. So far after two sessions no issues. As far as SS washers I found my at Ace Hardware and not the Fender washers as I found the regular ones (all I could find anyway) and it works like a charm.

Thanks Flyguy for the post. I just finished mine tonight and it cost a bit more but still under $100. Had to add some washers and a gasket at the seal point. Three tries and no leaks now. Gonna plan my first all grain next weekend. Cheers!

Hopefully this is an easy question. But I am about to use frozen concentrate to back sweeten a cider I've had conditioning for a few months now and wanted to know if I should boil or heat the concentrate before adding to the cider? -Chris
