    Spike Brewing - Ben Caya

    On the gaskets gaskets, I'm sure like any product there may be some out of spec. Possibly damaged or malformed lids and rims as well. However all of mine have been seemingly "too long" at times, sometimes significantly. I've found being so soft they are really easy to stretch. I work...

    Spike Brewing - Ben Caya

    I'm guessing the Jacketed unitanks are on indefinite hold. Its a shame to see what was and probably still is a great company go through hard times. My personal thought was that all the new electrical products were a huge stretch financially and expertise wise. QC is significantly harder and...

    Old style phone culture

    My childhood phone number is my mom’s cell number and she now lives 600 miles away. And our number from my daughter’s childhood is now her cell number even though she lives 250 miles away. I imagine that many people will now have near-lifetime numbers like that.

    Cylinder exchange prices?

    $20 exchange for 20lb tanks here. They charge a recertification fee every 5 years from first purchase.

    Gallons Brewed History + Updates needed

    That seems to fit with stuff I'm reading on the decline of forums in general and would be right about the time Facebook was really taking off. Facebook added groups in 2010, took a few years for that to really take off IIRC. I used to be on a bunch of forums for different hobbies. This...

    Gallons Brewed History + Updates needed

    Its worth noting too that forums peaked in popularity more than a couple years ago with the rise of general social media sites.

    Homebrewing and HOA's

    I don't know about everywhere but the real issue is probably for-profit management companies, not a true association of homeowners run by homeowners. I'm sure some of those can get catty but the companies profit off finding every little violation.

    Homebrewing and HOA's

    You have to read the HOA rules through the eyes of Karen and see if there's anything that could be interpreted as breaking the rules. Then she still might bitch about it so make sure you are following all the other rules. Fun fact, pink flamingos are against the rules in our neighborhood...

    Isn't that Mike Brady's brother's place? :D

    ESP Brew Engine

    Many of us have RTD sensors already, some fairly expensive TC mounted ones. The amplifier board would be a far cheaper route.

    Homebrew Talk 3D Print Thread.

    Mine have been holding up with printed threads. I don't recall if I did extra perimeters or denser infill. Also mine were printed on their side so the most likely failure would be layer separation. All that said, I've been using the inserts on other projects lately and would not hesitate...

    Another EasyDens Thread

    I only recall them offering a referral discount for a while. I had a link but it stopped working after a year or so.

    Sold Cheap Expired Dry Yeast

    The other part of this equation is that I really don't use dry yeast so its likely to get a couple more years older. I'm mostly using Imperial these days, if its less than 6 months old I'll just pitch it--had a fresh Pub pack start fermenting in a couple hours over the weekend. After 6...

    Sold Cheap Expired Dry Yeast

    Understandable, but I find myself using PayPal less and less except as a way to check out at stores online in a way that doesn't spread my credit card number around as much. So many more people are using Venmo these days, having some money in my Venmo account is almost like having cash.

    Sold Cheap Expired Dry Yeast

    SOLD. Cleaning out the Fridge and I apparently went a little nuts on the dry yeast purchases over the pandemic. I have about 21 US-05 that expired about a year ago, about 9 S-04 that expired in September, and a Nottingham that. If anyone wants it, I'll ship it to you in the continental...

    Beer Line Cleaning

    I bought one plastic carbonation cap setups that allows you to connect a ball lock liquid line and gas line to a PET bottle and saved a couple 2L bottles. Whenever I pull an empty keg out of my keezer I fill a bottle with hot water and run it through the the tap then follow with a couple...
