    Health Risks of Lead Free Solder

    I just rolled myself a nice IC and I want to put small length of copper tubing up one side, out of the pot, over, and down the other side. Kinda like a handle and soldered to each coil wrap to help hold it in place. Lead free solder is safe for regular plumbing but what about boiling temps? Can...

    Guinness keg disassembly?

    I have a guinness keg as well. Don't worry, you did not screw up. Heres how I did mine: 1. Bleed the pressure off. I did this by pushing a screw driver in the middle and had a rag over top to prevent spray. (My keg was 1/3rd full of old guinness) 2. There is a brass nut with little ramps...

Anyways, I recently became the owner of 2 kegs, one stainless and one aluminum and am in the process of converting them on the "ultra cheap".
