You would need to know the weight of the tank and valve with no CO2 in them, then weigh it after a fill. The tanks get hot when they slam all that gas in, it makes them hard to top off without cooling the tank. You can bring the tank in a ice bath and let them fill it when it's ice cold to get...

What is the temp you have it set to kick on and off also called the temperature differential of the cycle? For example, it will kick on a 45* and kick off at 38*?

I'm in northern IL, so not to far away. The dent my welder made :<{ https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1328532633825034&set=a.1095695173775449.1073741826.100000049294327&type=3&theater

Hi guys, I have a three pot 100Q (25 gallons each pot) Concord E-rig. I'm in an apartment now and these pots are to big to brew in here. It's almost like the pots aren't the problem it's that I have to clean 20-20 gallons of carboys, then clean 5 kegs for each batch. I'd be up for down sizing...

I would check to see if the prof is on RateMyProfessor.com. And if he/she is good about responding to questions, and if the college offers tutoring, if you do need help

When I was super young in the boy-scouts, we made Hobo dinners. It's meat, veggies, wrapped in foil and thrown in a pile of hot coals to cook. I made this a lot over the years, and it still has a place in my heart.

I took Patho in Nursing school (BSN) online and it sucked. All exams are timed and you have to work with and produce the information. I avoided Online classes if I had a choice. As you read the text make a cheat sheet for quick referencing during the exams, but how you budget your exam time...

Black, white ad yellow are on terminal 6 so it would seem that this is wired for 120v application, maybe? anyone? anyone?

Wanger is a friend of mine in real life and I'm telling him he is totally screwed and I'm bumping his thread. I'm thinking one is hot and 6 is round, but IDK for sure

Trades people like welders and HVAC guys use 20 pounders, and some/few 10 pounders. It's $20 to swap a 20 pound tank around Chicago land, at a HVAC supply place. I use a refrigeration hose connected to the tanks to fill them. Put the smaller tank in the freezer for a few days, and flip the...

You can take breaks from drinking and still be a brewer. Life will give stressers and as healthy people we compensate.

I grew up drinking adjunct lagers. I still drink them, but I call them cream Ale's or just lagers. With that said, if I want to brew a crowd favorite, I brew a IPA. IMHO light beers are the hardest to brew and show any mistakes in the brewing or fermenting process.

Sup Brewers, can I use a speed controller for my corded drill to control the speed of the drill, as I use the drill for milling grain? Talking about this: https://www.harborfreight.com/router-speed-control-43060.html THX

I don't think brewing, or making wine, or distilling, fall under the FDA guide lines. Don't get me wrong, I wash my hands like 50 times a day. I don't think people understand how much pest-aside or chemicals are on the produce or meat we eat from the farm to the supermarket. I used to do HVAC...

The weight rating is the total amount spread out across the table, I don't think it's the weight rating of each leg of the table. When dealing with boiling water, go way over kill. If it did dump, the medical bills would cost a lot more. Find a friend with a mig welder and show up with steaks...
