    Mk-i

    I've been lurking through this project and have to applaud the fab work! Honestly I think your boil looks more vigorous with the copper coils because you're causing a more widespread state change from liquid to gas due to the increased surface area of the boiler (as in you can see it :) ). The...

    Brass users?

    I personally wouldn't worry about it at all... To answer your question: Almost nothing eats teflon.... its basically as inert and indestructable as polymers get. It will be fine if you dip the whole assembly.

    It's actually a shuffleboard court in my sunroom :D Here's some bike pics, this was my first project so some of the fab work is a little rough :) Its a reworked kz440 ltd

    LeBoeuf's minifridgerator

    Finally made some progress on this project.... My stint in grad school has become a real PITA this semester... I've got 4 perlick 525s on the way so a tower is in the future. Shot of the brackets I made to bolt the fridge to the foundation. They use the existing door bracket mounts...

    Can you solder with propane?

    Just curious, did your Mapp setup also have an oxygen tank? The difference between the two when both are used with air is low. Alright you inspired me to do some research :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPP_gas http://www.bernzomatic.com/resources/gas-types.aspx According at least to the...

    Can you solder with propane?

    Seriously it doesn't matter. Mapp and propane are rather close in combustion temps when used with air. Where do these random misconceptions come from lol?

    Midterms

    I've become so jaded about scholastics since I started working in the real world. I'm back slaving away for my MSEE. Scored a 45/90 on my midterm for my device physics class... high grade in the class btw.... I'm starting to think all the pure academic profs in engineering are just worthless...

    Potable water hose & weird smell/taste?

    I know this isn't a great answer but..... : I use a carbon filter on the output of my potable water hose and it removes any flavor that the hose imparts.

    Better Bottle vs. US Plastics Containers

    I should measure it but the 6 is really more like 6.5. I only loose krausen when I use nottingham.

    Better Bottle vs. US Plastics Containers

    http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=31615&catid=459 Im not too sure if I'd even consider fermenting in anything else. I bought some extra caps and use the 3/4" npt port with a hose barb fitting for my blowoff tube.

    Repackaging Hops?!?! What is the way to keep them fresh?

    I use this exact same technique. That harbor freight vacc pump will get down to about 22in/hg. I think all totaled with the mason jars I was at $30 to store 5lbs of hops :)

    Kill-A-Watt Brewery Build Compilation

    Your nose is correct Bk. The watt density of an SSR is no where even near the realm of a modern <90nm microprocessor (which is around the same heat density of the surface of the sun!!). The normal, white, Si based grease is just fine. Way to hold that company to their false advertisement Pol!

    Building a Brew Rig - Black Pipe?

    If you have say $150 to spend on a cheap harbor freight welder/angle grinder/disks you can weld that black pipe with ease.... Speaking from experience :D Edit: Now that I think of it, you'd probably break even with the cheapo welding setup since you wouldn't need to buy all the couplings....
