    The great nitrogen bubble debate

    So i'm reviving this once revived old thread because I think we can do much better. I don't think there is a need, yet, for an experiment as this can all be proven mathematically, and any and all propaganda or articles without mathematical justification can be ignored. In particular, the...

    Eastcoastbrewparts.com Experience?

    finally got ahold of someone at ebay on the phone. As it turns out, per the "contract" of the sale, he was supposed to ship 5 separate packages unless i agreed to combined shipping at a different (lower) price. So, for anyone in a similar situation, you can always claim a breach of contract if...

    Eastcoastbrewparts.com Experience?

    i'm not doubting that he has some good deals. For example I was almost ready to drop on a dozen pairs of stainless ball lock disconnects, at $22 a pair. But before I could order those, i got his reply from when I asked for a refund of the shipping overcharge. He told me to "Stop being cheap"...

    Eastcoastbrewparts.com Experience?

    I just found your post. I posted a review of my experience the other day at https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=581305 Bought some parts from him on eBay the other day. He is a scammer, at least on the one level I reported. I even got him to admit to as much in writing in my...

    There wasnt any option related to overcharging under "report a seller". Maybe some other ebay expert out there with better googlefu can chime in on how to do that. I was on hold for 20 min. Calling before i gave up.

    So I found this company on eBay. 0 negative feedback, listed as a power seller. All looked well. Here was the item listing - swivel nuts and barbs - good price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/291745976640 And the place where he ships from is only a couple hours away. I bought qty 5. I didn't catch...

    Mason jars

    I almost always keg. Sometimes when I have half a keg left, and want an empty keg for a new beer, I have used quart sized jars and/or growlers.Pour from the tap, cap and seal. I have stored jars and growlers for months both in the fridge and in the basement with no problems. However, I would...

    whiskey bottle growlers

    So I have a bunch of large empty bourbon and whiskey (+whisky) bottles that I have been collecting, from me and friends. Most don't have the screw caps that they originally came with. I was going to turn them into growlers to gift to people. I am tired of buying 1/2 gal growlers and waiting...

    Promash Still in business?

    ProMash has been a wonderful app. I still keep handwritten records of my brew days, and have always used ProMash for planning and inventory management. I found that the simplistic design and easy to use interface superior to Beer Smith, however this evaluation was made with whatever version beer...

    Automated Flow Rate Control

    I am building a bubbler type volume sensor with an arduino handling the computing. I am programming it so that I can either output volume, or the rate of change of the volume.

    Best (inexpensive) Drill for Grain Mill - Harbor Freight?

    it is the same drill as your link. The D handle is removable. The side grip can be installed on either side or the top. The holes accept an M10x1.5 bolt. At first, the shaft and the chuck were not exactly alligned, and the drill would wobble. I installed an M10 washer between the drill and the...

    Best (inexpensive) Drill for Grain Mill - Harbor Freight?

    I think you are mistaken. it is a magic table, as evidenced by my beer not pouring out. I dunno what's up (pun intended). they are fine on my computer and phone. I'll fix it after work.
