Whole Foods 365 in the 1 gallon glass jug. Juice with an included fermentation vessel!

That's weird. My swirly arm shipped separately and arrived before the Foundry box!

Me too. Halfway through the second reading the cadence kinda fell into place!

Welcome from a fellow beekeeper! (not a super successful one so far!)

I'd avoid utilizing the space under your desk at work if at all possible... 🤣

Welcome welcome!

I'm no mead guy, but 1.000 and slow airlock activity seem to go together pretty well. My ciders continue to bubble for weeks after fermentation is done as excess CO2 comes out of solution. Even after racking this last couple gallons there was enough dissolved CO2 to pressurize the gallon bottles...

I bought the 18 gallon version that was said to be in stock and it still took almost 2 weeks to arrive. They must be busy like everyone else right now.

I have notes from a podcast for a bleach no-rinse sanitizer: Basic Brewing podcast from 2007, interview with Charley Talley (from Five Star) Charley's no-rinse sanitizer: 1 oz of 5% bleach in 5 gallons of water is about 80 ppm add 1 oz of vinegar to that solution to adjust ph. NEVER ADD...

I looked on McMaster Carr a bit too. There's some CPVC stuff on there, but it's expensive stuff for 4" For not a lot more money you could be closing in on a cheap conical...

On eBay is this. You would have to find an fnpt nut for the bottom and maybe fabricate a plate for the top. I didn't see much in the way of 4" weldless. Maybe have a fab shop modify a welded bulkhead? Edited to add screen snip because I hate eBay links in old threads that are dead.

Quigley Down Under

Another gallon from "Under the Table Cidery" lol 110.5 + 1 = 111.5

Maybe purge the secondary fermenter with CO2, then get a siphon going in primary? Hang a CO2 supply hose in primary to maintain a blanket of CO2? I kind of did this kegging to keep O2 exposure down.

And more during the "Healthy dry hop"

What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Star Wars.

Most manufacturing oils wouldn't do much at boiling temps. Maybe it was something to preserve the finish during storage/shipping to the end user? If that's the case, hopefully they chose something mild. Regardless, it sounds like it's clean now!

(Machinist here) The stuff I use for coolant is a water-soluble oil. In its concentrated form, it's very dark green. It wouldn't float on top though, it incorporates very easily with water. When I start getting oily parts, it's because the coolant is low and the pump is sucking way oil off the...

Whoops, I didn't catch the correction! (Fixed the old post)
