    Cheap & Easy 10 Gallon Rubbermaid MLT Conversion

    Which would still deem the o-ring on the outside as useless.

    SMBO Rocks!!! Now, need advice on a cooler MLT!

    Order it online from ebay if you can't find it elsewhere. You'll have to wait a few days but better than purchasing an expensive bit just for one project ya know? Heck order a few of them they fit over the nipple a lot better than the fender washers recommended in various posts for the outside...

    Cheap & Easy 10 Gallon Rubbermaid MLT Conversion

    Yeah I can't get a tight seal on it either. And the o-ring on the outside seems like very poor placement. If you're preventing a leak there then it's getting into the innards of the chest where that foam crap is. That can't be good for you. I'm thinking preventing it from seaping from the inside...

    Super High Gravity Ale HELP

    That is a lot of money thrown into one batch, holy crap. Only thing I can think of at this point myself in my VERY limited experience is freeze it. Never done this myself but from what I have read in a thread on these very boards if you...heck don't even fully understand it but basically you...

    Weldless brew stand.

    No I have not had any issues in the areas where I did not use lock washers. In the areas where I did use them (when I attached the casters and on corners to maintain 90 degree angle over time) they fit on the bolts fine even with a fender washer on the other side. Get your casters from...

    Brew Sculpture Project!!

    Why would you have to add a pump if doing a tri level? Can't you do it all by gravity?

    Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

    Sam Adams Rustic Saisen. I read through a lot of these and don't get the Sam Adams hate. The Sam Adams Light for example...had no flavor but hardly the worst. The Summer Ale was something that wasn't really that bad...Starting to think people just have it out for Sam Adams with offerings...

    First time using secondary

    It wouldn't hurt their wallets for you to use two is what he really meant :p Make a starter and save the second pouch for another batch.

    Ignorant Wine Drinkers

    F em. If people like that were that into beer it would cost that much more :p You get your snobs in all areas of life. They feel a need to position themselves at a point they feel is superior, to feed their fragile egos. You cannot reason with these people just like you can't reason with a...

    sparge arm?

    The copper isn't an issue it's easy enough to cut and while I'm experienced at sweating and joining pipes don't even really see a need her it won't be under much pressure. Going to go with copper for sure, easy enough to form and work with. Thanks guys.

    sparge arm?

    Are there any preparations that I need to make with copper? Like for brass the hydrogen perozide and vingegar wash? Or is it already ok to use?

    sparge arm?

    Want to make a sparge arm for my gravity system I am putting together. Found an old all metal sprinker head which should be perfect (didn't trust a shower head with 160-170 degree water). Not sure where to get the parts to build a arm that would work. Want something I can connect to the...

    Fruit Flies

    Yes it is, and often times that beauty manifests itself in very painful and annoying ways...like vomiting...or when it indescriminately nukes your throat and sinus cavities to get rid of a pathogen, etc. I mostly concern myself with vomiting :p But yes rarely will those little bastards have...

    The Police? Really???

    You're going to get jackasses in every profession. Not all cops are created equal, just like all Firemen aren't heroes nor are soldiers for that matter. You get quack Doctors and Nurses you wouldn't hand your dog over to. They are human and human things happen. In the case of the "Oakland...

    The Police? Really???

    Wow, that's a lot of assumption and taking things out of context in one line :p
