This stand is awesome. Whats even better is that he put a link to a picasa web album for the pics in the first post. Now I don't have to read comments like mine to get to the meat of it :mug:

Hey i built a mash tun using the slotted cpvc method. i gave it a test run with just water and found that at the end of the draining im left with about 2qts of water. Is that typical with these style mash tuns? Will sparging get most of the sugars out regardless? Thanks Patrick

Right on bad67z... Ill have to check my finances as they run fairly low these days. Ill prob stick with my recycling of bottles cause its free. Thanks

So if i stamped it with my name its good to go? Cause that would be easy. The office building had to have paid for it (making them the rightful owners?) cause the building had new owners (who we were working for to check out the a/c system) and it was still in there. So i guess the rightful...

Yeah I understand but all im saying is, if you buy a tank second hand or acquire it some other-way (gifted or inherited) don't go to the place on the sticker or you might be making a sad face. Find a place that is "cool" with your business. I deff agree with Pick because ill never go fill any...

how can i add a little more than a 1/3 of a cup of sugar over 50 bottles with out recombining them. but if i try and recombine them the dme sluge stuff will remain at the bottom of each bottle. And what about the CO2 that has already formed... wont i be releasing it once i open it?

so do you think i should crack them open and add some cane sugar and how much do you think per bottle?

I bottled my first batch last night. Ive been doing a lot more reading about brewing. The instructions on my brew kit said 1/2 teaspoon per pint my batch is roughly 5 gallons not positive what a "full" 5 gallon carboy looks like but i digress. I figure there are 40 pints in a 5gallon batch so...
