I love that movie, its on netflix and its worth a watch. I loved the part about them using nasty pond water for brewing then getting people to drink it

there is somewhere on this site an article about bottle pasteurizing, where you basically bottle, wait a week or so to carb then bring the bottles up to temp in a pressure cooker to kill all the yeast inside.

I love this, and I really love how it works like the nesting dolls and all fits inside the big mash tun.

That's what I did and I cannot be happier, basically I replaced the original thermostat with the stc-100 and I didnt even have to cut the wires the GE 7.0 didnt have to be cut at all.

this article on byo said use foaming acid cleaner by spartan chemicals but i couldn't find it anywhere online. But it looks like acid is the way to go. http://byo.com/equipment/item/1660-yearly-brewery-checkup

yeah, I always mixed it up it just always worried me about the repeatability, as well as I never really knew when I was doing a recipe what my efficiency was so I didn't know how to adjust. I ended up with a corona mill off amazon and modifying it per some instructions on the DIY forum now I...

i have found also when you get a lb or whatever quantity milled ahead of time then try to measure out you a lot of times end up with all the husks at the top and all the flour at the bottom. I had horrible problems when I was doing this

when i was reading through the soldering stainless steel sticky on the DIY forum there was a guy that soldered a cast bell with a torch, its a long shot but if you already have a torch it cant hurt. I mean worse case you what damage a broken plate.

Another question I wonder about is if the heating with the stove eye would mess up the Autotune on the PID?

also if you are in North Charlotte The Mooresville store for Alternative Beverage is closer to me.

Thank you so much for linking those 2 builds, the first one is what I was looking for. I am wanting to build a control panel with a PID. My goal is to build it in a box with a single PID and put my temp probe on the output of the coil in my HLT. I am not able to do the dual element option...

its an electric stove, I was searching everywhere for a good example, maybe a wiring diagram. I googled it using this site specific instead of using the thread search and couldnt find anything. The closest I could find is the Countertop Brutus wiring which I should be able to use I think.

Has anyone ever built a system using a herms setup and used there stovetop to speed up the heating of the water. Basically i am looking to do 2.5 gallon batches and use my 16 qt stainless pot and put a copper coil in it and a 240v 5500 ULWD element running at 120v so it should run at 1375 watts...

I am not sure if this is correct but to me it sounds like you have a leak somewhere letting air into your system, if you carb at a certain pressure then lower to serving pressure from my understanding and experience your beer should stay carbed especially commercial kegs. I serve at very low...

I work on cars to and if you have dry hands, your hands will absorb the smell of gas and oils. I use nitrile gloves if I have an off smell on my hands. I also wear gloves when working on cars, took a long time to get used to but was required by my old boss because he required us to drive the...

Someone with more knowledge would know what that would do to the beer but I have read in the mead and wine forums about people using black tea instead of Tannin, I know one of the biggest things people are trying to avoid in mashing

+1 on the brewing your own beer is cheaper, The LHBS has a sign up that says brew your own and save money, I chuckle every time I walk in.

I used good ole clear silicone caulk, for mine i used 2 tubes like a 1/4 inch bead all around, my lid is attached to my collar and I have picked up my keezer while holding onto the collar. It didn't budge that stuff is stronger than it looks.

Just finished my Keezer unfortunately but this showed up in the free section of craigslist today I hope someone can use it. http://charlotte.craigslist.org/zip/3700791901.html

you could always use the bud light aluminum bottles I have recapped on those before, they are pry-off
