I'll take 2 tanks if still available

He probably already knows what he's doing is illegal. I say just let it be, it really isn't your problem.

I would go with a 5 gallon Rubbermaid from homedepot and a brew bag. batch sparge. there isn't a benefit to going smaller.

I honestly don't find most of the experiments to be that helpful in brewing. Absolutely nothing can replace firsthand experience. unless you use the same equipment, process, and ingredients as a particular experiment, you really cant pull any generalized rules from them. I do see a TON of...

Wonder where they got the name? OG since 2012 Also can it use liquid yeast? or are you stuck with dry packets. Thanks!

I am using this set up with 0 issued. go for it! I have noticed though in general if you push the line too hard sideways near the fitting, the seal will break momentarily.

Hey did either of you guys have any issues de-soldering the fittings? for the life of my i cant figure out why the solder wont melt.

Hey All, upgrading my system to herms and taking a huge step this weekend. I'm going all QD's between vessels, pumps, and my chillzilla that I will be using as a counterflow herms coil. Anyways I will be de-soldering the current fittings on my Chillzilla (all copper CFC) to add copper 1/2"...

also agree with you on acidity - a little citric acid in a fruit beer can really brighten the flavor.

That's just it though. There are two types of extract, Natural and Imitation. Imitation extract is a combination of chemical compounds to imitate the flavor of a thing - not what I am talking about here. Natural extracts are extracted directly from said thing, so the essential oils, volatile...

I really think that flavor extracts get a bad rap. Just because your using an extract does not necessarily mean you'll get a cheap or inauthentic flavor. First off I'd like to address quality. A high quality natural organic extract is a good route to go. There are several retailers online that...

In the amazon questions it seems this element is a bit shorter than the other and a little higher in watt density. The non stainless wavy seems to be at about 7 watts /cm2 and the SS version seems to be about 12.88 watts per cm2. I have no idea if this is significant. sorry for the oversight...

Hey all, FYI Stainless steel Wavy ULWD elements are now on amazon. Picked one up and installing in my rig when I have time... $29 shipped with prime :-) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0183KIU1E/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Think of it this way, the flow control increases line resistance. so changing the flow control in these faucets is like increasing or decreasing the length of your line (balance wise). Flow control 'should' allow you to maximize your flow rate without creating excessive foam regardless of your...

search soda bottle pre-forms. you can buy them for pretty cheap.
