They never responded. I did just keg my second try at a clone. First try had too much rye..

Wet years I will water twice...4" each time. This year is really dry....may do 4 waterings. Probably just 2" for the last.

My barley field is coming along nicely.

How about taking a saws-all and cutting all the heads off your bundles? Then put the heads in a big bag and beat the crap out of the bag. Finish it with your winnowing process. Or bring it all up to Montana and toss it in our combine. It will do 50,000lbs per hour ;).

"Standard" isn't an exact science and I could have slightly miss-measured the orings and post on my pin locks. Also the plastic connectors I have maybe off a bit as plastic is difficult to accurately manufacture, especially bores. The 16% is from my measuring of my parts. The true pin lock...

I think the oring you are looking at is the 12mm (.472 ID) x 2.5mm (.098 W). This looks close but the width is a concern. I did some calculations. Normally static oring seals are set up to compress about 18%. From my measuring the correct pin lock oring setup has a 16% compression. A bit...

In a former life I spent eight years engineering which often required specifying orings. I also recently acquired 10 pin locks so I thought I would jump in. The oring bible is the parker o-ring handbook: http://www.parker.com/literature/ORD%205700%20Parker_O-Ring_Handbook.pdf 2-111 orings...

80k 2004. No need for a new truck. I drive a 91 Chevy with 155k. Yes I had to change the clutch but that was far cheaper then what they want for new. At least get a two year old model. Let someone else loose the thousands of dollars of a new rig being drove of the lot. Then use the money you...

I promised drummstikk I would post some pics of my barley. Forgot to take pictures while seeding but here is the little field by my house.

Optimizing a combine is always a pain as well. Then the crop changes in different areas which I guess should be expected in 300 acre fields. Tweaking the combine is a constant job, so I feel your pain. How would the thresher work with just feeding in heads? Doesn't seem like a very big machine...

Are you opening the brewery? Or does "we" refer to the town.

Go CATS. Class of 2000.

Welcome. I used to work and the old Semitool before heading home to take over the farm. Kind of miss your mountains. Hear C Falls is getting a brewery.

Don't know if one is better then the other. Would be best to do both before making it a career. Welcome. Spent a lot of time in Havre when my Grandparents lived there.

Why do you need to take the top off? Most sanke kegs are never taken apart. Buy a sanke tap (not the hand pump type). Through the sanke tap fill it with star san, shake a few times, push the star san out with CO2 then fill with beer. When the keg is empty flush with water a few times then...

Yes the Hefty Brothers. Those guys have helped me become a better farmer. This last conference they held in our are must have had 1000 farmers attend. Never seen so many pickup trucks in my life.

Sorry I haven't replied quicker. Been farming myself. We will be planting a about five hundred acres of barley this year. Will try it post some pictures. Drumm, You have a better grasp on the plants life cycle then me (I've never even used the GDD data) so I bet you are better then me at...

We have clay soil as well and generally calculate a foot of soil holds 2" water. More organic mater will hold more. The top foot will evaporate quicker so I wouldn't count on a full 2"there.
