Making wine as a beer brewer are almost polar opposites. We try to eliminate oxygen from beer once it leaves the wort designation. For wine, oxygen is not as much of an enemy. I primary in a bucket with a towel as a lid. This is just to keep bugs out. In secondary, a wine whip is used to drive...

Da fuq?

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thank you.

I can't find a place to get just the must/concentrate. I don't need a kit. I already have too much metabi-oak chip-nutrient-campden-sodium-peptic-tannin-sulfite for several batches. So I really don't need/want a kit. I checked with some local wineries for buckets of must, but they're obviously...

If they can put screw tops on it, I see no reason why you can't beer cap it.

I don't have any of those scales - I built my own as the company sunsetting these was one of the reasons. If it helps you, this guy is reusing old Plaato scales for what looks like you're talking about.

The timing seems about right. The 'off' time could increase depending on when your defrost timer kicks on. Because you're using an Inkbird for temp control, this timing will vary. This is because the Inkbird controls the temp by interrupting the power to the freezer. Under normal operation a...

It's come up a bit, but what you mentioned is about the going rate here. Depends on where you go, of course.

Honestly, I would stop using the koozie-beer can set-up. Freezer/fridge cold controls don't insulate the business end of the probe, it's only worried about air temp. Your set-up is making the freezer work overtime to cool the can, not the air. Although you lose a lot of the air temp when...

It's very similar to StarSan as use goes. It still foams, but doesn't have that off putting egg smell StarSan does. To treat kegs and fermenters, I fill halfway with water and a jigger of sanitizer (label calls for 1/4 to 1/2 oz per gallon depending on application). I invert the keg after a...

The second half of my wife's beer because she fell asleep in the first half of the movie that she swore she would totally stay up for. It's delicious.

HOLY HELL!!

Well, darn... Maybe there's a no-rinse sanitizer at a local restaurant supply? Only problem there is finding one that's open to the public - here, anyway.

Fixed it for ya :D (it's a 4-pak for that price) It used to be at my local Cash & Carry / Smart and Final, but they stopped carrying it. I Amazon it up now.

I'll die on this hill. Been using Lysol no-rinse sanitizer for about 10 years now with no problems. A fraction of the cost of StarSan.

Been there, done that several times too many times to count. Type L is very common for residential - not too cheap, not too expensive. Pinhole leaks that aren't caused by some outside force is simply caused by the water flowing within. The harder the water, the sooner it will leak. Freezing...

Not sure what a regulator stem is, but that access panel is far from 'floats'. At any rate, the angle bracket idea is solid. Good luck with the project.

I just checked out your model number and there's no coils in the walls of the fridge. the evap coils are in the freezer and the condenser coils are underneath (behind the cardboard) - looks like a mini keg. Similar to this...

If this were me, I would attach the plywood on that access panel on the top. Access panel removed, screw from the back, access panel reinstalled. *easy button*
