Nicely done! Thanks for the write-up! I am considering doing the same to mine. Do you think the 1/8" wire provides enough space for convection around the coil? Would you consider using smaller gauge wire next time? MT

Welcome. What part of Tennessee?

How is the research going?

Lalvin Bourgovin RC212 and Lalvin EC-1118 in separate musts.

I read an article from WineMaker Mag. that discussed the importance of fermentation temperature and control. This article indicates that for desirable extraction of color compounds and tannins in red wine the best fermentation range is usually considered as 79-86°F (26-30°C). For red wine...

I talked to my parents this afternoon and apparently these carboys were used by my italian greatgrandma to make wine. Based on the feedback here and their prior uses I will use them in my brewing and wine process after a some cleaning with PBW. Thanks everyone!

Thanks day_trippr! I didn't come up with anything on the lead subject when I did a search but figured I would poll the community. Thanks for your help!

I acquired 2 CRISA carboys from my parents; they used them to make cordials. I am not concerned about their structural integrity; these are pretty thick and heavy. I am concerned about the chemical composition; is it possible that the glass has lead in it? I am not sure what year they were...

Thanks for the info RPh_Guy. I will be taking you thoughts into consideration! MT

4 oz of blackberry is wayyyy too strong... we are going to use 2 oz next time.

I used raspberry in an Wheat beer I made for my father-in-law. I used 4oz ( by weight) in 5 gallons and it was a big hit; he thought the flavor was a tad strong. 10 gallons of wheat just finished up and will be kegged in Saturday. This time I am going to use 3 oz of raspberry in one keg and...

Thanks @gromitdj. I will try and create one first... if i fail miserably I will reach out to you via PM. Thanks everyone for your support!

Thanks guys for the ideas! I do not have a 3D printer but I have a lot of woodworking tools that could get the job done (and I thought it might look cool). I did try and dimension off of a STL file but the dimensions varied wildly from the petling I have. Figured I would try something new. I...

Hey guys.. I am at the final leg of getting this project complete. I have the petling in hand and am planning on making the slide/drawer out of some scrap lumber (white oak). Before I do that I was hoping to get an internal casting of the tube (without destroying it) to use as an initial...
