March pump is a tad dusty, but NOT contaminated. Works very well. I will have to say the hoses have been sitting awhile, and need a good boil, and reaming. Instead of looking for cash for those, I'll throw them in if you buy something else. I have lids for all cornies. If someone will take it...

It seems like the search threads come up with "no longer sold" units when I refer to lowes/depot/walmart. I need a small fridge for cornies out on my deck/grill...the height limits are 33"...I'm not real concerned about a tower out the top. It will be under a countertop, which is 18.5" deep...

I get that problem when my ales rise into the 70's or more during fermentation.

amalyse should not go into the primary. The beer could possible leap out of the bucket / vessel, and onto the ceiling.:D Directions for its use are to rack to secondary where the amalyse is already waiting.

My 3rd year cascades are looking the same. I split the main 20 ways this year, and the "mother" never missed a lick. A very healthy strain for sure !!

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere else. Can I decant the starter liquid, and put newly chilled starter back onto the yeast cake? Seems logical , but am I missing something? how do you guys double your original starter? Thanks

Yooper.... When you say "lager in the keg", should the primary be in a bucket, then D rest, then rack to keg, and move to cold chamber? I've always wondered this because it seems yeast still needs to be in the corny to do some cleaning/lagering. sorry if I'm misdirecting the original post

Thanks for the replies ... It was the wiring. All is well and running properly

I've grown tired of plugging, and unplugging the pump, so I bought a switch and housing and went to town. Problem now is it's throwing the breakers after a few seconds of running...it does come on however. The switch is a heavy duty rated for 120v. All the wires are matched proper as well. oh...

Found some white lab vials (5 to be exact) in the far reaches of my fridge today. They've been stationary since their purchase.....in late 2008 !!!! Anyhow, I was wondering how far back you guys have re-animated your vial ? Should I just crack them open, and give them a smell to decide...
