Necro thread; did this few weeks back. Had enough to fill 2 750ml vodka pop top bottles (small batch). Put a pureed raspberry in there along with a little sugar, closed it, let it carb for a few days (only did 4days ish, so it may or may not be carbed enough) anyway, utilized my sous vide...

yea i dont know why it redirects to that, i double checked the post and thats generated by the boards, for whatever reason.

ill have to try that - im using earth magnets so once it does get on it it spins fine, ill have to tweak things a bit

Hey guys, I was wondering what to use to mount my fan to the underside of my home made stir plate. I used rivets but the problem is the stir bar is just as attrated to the rivets as it is to the earth magnet on the fan. what did you guys use or how can i avoid this?

solid point, ill rinse em in my bucket and if i get an off taste ill learn not to keep starsan in bottles too long ;)

yea i just hate leaving that gross looking film in the bottles, you know the film you get when you leave star san for a looong time and it turns your lines white! ill give them all a good rinse and dousing with starsan in my bucket and then just hope it wont have an effect

Hey guys, I let some bottles soak for a batch a couple weeks back (or more), and the keg i was going to bottle ended up being put in the kegerator. im bottling another batch tonight but noticed starsan left a permament film of such inside the bottles, think itll affect the taste of the beer?

yea green that one. ill zip by the hardware store, wasnt sure if it was a special material that wouldnt put off flavors into the beer, although with how fast it passes through i doubt that would be an issue

So after awhile this thing gets brittle aparantly and mine just busted when i tried taking it apart to clean. I only found one place that carried it - some canadian beer/wine making place (but they dont have an online shop just a catalogue.) Anyone able to find these things? Tried 3b and NB but...

it possibly could be, but it was only carbed at maybe 15 psi at 45 degrees, maybe I didnt relize how soon I connected the co2 to it and just flat out overcarbed it

It's the line that comes with the accessory kit, about 10ft of 3/16" - other posts show people having no problem with the line that comes with it, think I should trim it?

So I bottled a batch of brew today and got an insane ammount of foam - i lost nearly 1/3 or more of the batch. Everything was sanitized, the serving psi was low - under 3, bottles were frozen, beer was at about 42-45 degrees, and i even had the beergun line sitting in ice water. possible...

I'd lower the mash temp also, personally i'd knock it down to 154 or maybe a little lower. otherwise looks yummy
