In. Thanks of the chance.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm going to do something with the all thread. I've been looking locally for some pan head bolts long enough, but have had no luck. I'll probably just have to order some. Now I need to get the top finished... I thought I would have all sorts of free time over the holidays to...

Here's what I ended up doing, and I think I like it. 4" sch 40 steel pipe has an OD almost identical to the OD of the mounting flange of the tower. I cut a 4" piece of pipe, then went over it with a flap disk to smooth it out. Painted with some hammer tone that will match some of the other...

that's probably what I will do. The tiles I plan to use for the counter are 12"x12", but I think I saw some on the same design that were 4"x4". A ~4" riser should be plenty. I'll go take a look and figure something out.

I guess I could have bolted the tower to the plywood, but I was thinking air circulation would have been better if it was mounted to the freezer lid. Even so, I'd like to get several inches more height if I can. I am considering a spacer, and may make a trip to the hardware store to see if I...

Good morning all; So I've been working on my version of a knotty pine keezer. I opted for a 3 tap tower just because I like the look, and didn't want to push my carpentry skills to the point of building a coffin. Anyhow, I got it all mocked up and operational for a party this weekend...

In please

Thanks for the chance

I'm in on this. Thanks for the chance

It looks like you may have had this conversation a time or 2 before. I was all prepared to pull out Palmers when I got home. Thanks for laying that out for me. I see it now. And yeah, there was nowhere near 16oz of juice in the oranges I added.

Nottingham is beer yeast, and its alcohol tolerance is not very well advertised. I can't wrap my head around why you would add the SGs rather than multiply, but on this scale I guess it doesn't really matter. Provided I ignore the 1 to the left of the decimal 1.090*1.040= 1.133 1.090+0.040=...

So on Feb 18, I mixed up a cyser using 4.5 gal hippie market unfiltered, pasteurized apple juice 13# local raw honey a couple oranges a few handfuls of raisins I had a starter of some washed sweet mead yeast going, but it never took off. Because of that, I got one going with some...

I'm so in on this. Thanks for the chance!

I've got one I setup as a fermentation chamber. I had luck bending the shelves up and out of the way, but I would only attempt it if everything was already warm. I keep the selves held up with super trick zip ties, and reinforced the bottom shelf with a 2 ton jack stand I left the top...
