I've read that you can fill the gap, but the 11" pot will be a pierry big one. Solder does like to flow and fill, to a point.

I would avoid grass that gets weed or insect killer used on it if you are using it around veggies or hops. Our local composting facility refuses ANY grass due to chemical use. When I had a big veggie garden years ago I spread newspaper over the space between rows, and covered it with grass...

Thanks. It was pretty inexpensive since it's steel conduit. No signs of rust in 2.5 years, except on hardware that I thought was coated. If I move, the building goes with me!

Here are mine from a couple weeks ago. The supports at the top are 15' high. Since then they've grown another 6 feet or so, and I finally had to clip the bine tips to keep them from spreading to each other or across the roof. Near the top the side arms are close to a foot long, and there are...

And at the other end of that tube the liquid freon will return to a gaseous state as it enters the evaporator absorbing heat, therefore it will feel cold, and should build up frost before too long. If it gets cool, but not cold then it's a low freon or failing compressor issue. My...

With 120v GFCIs, no. Each one senses the current difference between hot and neutral and any difference will trip it. If you use the 2 hot legs for 240, no current will flow in the neutral and they will trip. Dual 120 volt elements could give you the same power, but you'll need to control each...

Good info. One thing I wonder when using second runnings and pressure canning - what happens to the things you want to boil off, such as DMS? With DME it's already gone, but it can't escape in the pressure canner. I usually use DME as it's quick and easy, but I did use runnings a couple times...

We're still working on/with our son, at 25. He was wholly unprepared for the prestigious school he was accepted at, and was over by day 5. He wasted 2 semesters at comm college, and we stopped paying. He worked for our SMALL family mfg business since he was old enough to work, and has been in...

You should consider a Fast Ferment Conical and an air conditioner or dehumidifier for glycol, that won't even increment in the 10k number rounding up!!

Before we got married I was fully onboard with no kids. When she got pregnant it took less than 5 minutes for me to embrace the situation. Shocked myself far more than I ever would have guessed. Now 28 years later we're wondering if we'll see any grandchildren. Our daughter has already informed...

I just built a bunch of these for a DIY project, and a little feedback on the above is needed. Great details though. Materials: 5. Hose clamp: A 3.25" ID x 3/16 Oring will hold the bag tight using the groove in the SS sleeve. Super quick and easy! Tools: 2. Hole Punch: I assume he means...

We called that his cheezy french stash. Much more obvious from straight on. Cheers to them both!

This thread popped to the top today, and I just had to respond on this. We had a nearly identical Cocker for 12 yrs till heart disease took him too. He never really cared about my brewing, but was still our buddy. I brewed his namesake Dunkelweizen, Dante's Dunkel, a couple weeks ago and served...

I'd been running 1 bine up each string, with up to 7 per plant depending on how many shoots keep going after I prune back the first wild ones, for the last 3 years. My yield has not been great so far, but that's more related to growing conditions. There has been plenty of extra growing room in...

I've been running a 120/240 EBIAB system for about a year now, although in a slightly different design. My RIMS is the actual dual voltage part. The boil Kettle is 240 only. Part of my original thought was that I could run my RIMS on 120 (I have 2 supply cords, 1 for each voltage), and the...

10 plants growing strong in central NJ. Some shoots were over a foot till I trimmed the wild ones back to 7-8 shoots per plant. I'll train the best 5 up the strings when they are long enough. I made my own trellises with sisal twine, and used nylon string only on the outside supports. This...

Yes they were COLD, as was pulling them! Apparently the wine stored in that cooler needed to be super cold.

Man, they sure looked like inies, not outies. They look identical to some of the voids I've seen in bargain welded kettles. Yeah, I thought about the whole boil part after the fact. I was under the impression that weld fittings were welded at the edge of the hole, leaving no possibility of...

Nice welds, but the red box full of holes/pits looks a little scary. Is the void between the side/fitting from hole to weld going to harbor nasties though?

I've encountered disparity with the very first beer I submitted to an AHA/BJCP based competition, just last month, so I can appreciate why the OP might be skeptical. First competition I took 3rd (of 16) in category with a 36&37. Second failed to place (of 13) with 23&25. Third was a 1st...
