chlorine gas fumigation? send it into space? set it on fire? rub dioxin all over it? bombard it with radiation? dust it with fentanyl? melt the glass and recycle it into glassware again? this logic makes no sense. why would it be "rewritten" if its using the same ingredient? the...

c'mon, dont be mad bro. just talk it out, work out the debate with the chemist. our state and local health inspectors. cdc. epa, i think..... well if you actually listened to or read the interview the guy actually says that bleach and vinegar is fine for no-rinse santizer. he...

take it up with the chemist from 5star chems, as well as the EPA who state that for no-rinse sanitizing they advise chlorine bleach with vinegar. not chlorine bleach on its own. i dont have the capacity to get into a biochem argument with you on the specific differences and actions happening...

from time to time. i'm not in any sort of hurry, so i'll make a mental note to hit you up next time i head that way.

bleach is not a very good sanitizer. its best for making things white. if you want a good sanitizer you can use bleach but you need to mix it with an acid, and vinegar works very well. the recipe is very simple. 1liter of water. 4ml bleach (basic, no scents/perfumes/colors) 4ml of...

because i already have two pounds i bought for myself ("group buy"), which is gonna last me a good long time as i do 2.5gal batches.

two small buckets. submersible pump. done and done.

did a group buy, not sure who did what but there were two unaccounted-for 1lb bags of phantasm. one sold, last one is sitting in my freezer. $40, that's cost after shipping. this is in SF bay area. please dont ask to ship as you might as well just buy your own at that point. meet in...

so i've got the rapt app on my phone, and i'm getting alerts- but not the ones i want and only ones i didnt ask for..... i have a preboil profile set to send me an alert when it hits 180F. didnt happen. what did it do instead? when i manually shut off the profile, it sent me an alert...

the best spot for holes isnt on the sides, thats actually the worst spot due to the coils. best spot is about 1-2 inches surrounding the hinges on the back wall. there's no coils in that area so you can drill a fairly large hole if you want. just an FYI. if your tank has to sit...

why dont you pull the rubber boot off and show us some pics of what you're working with?

i've done it a few times, on various pieces of gear. like you said before, its all about prep. clean it and scratch it up good. it holds for normal use, but if you're banging things around it might not. since OP is looking at something on the very bottom that wont take any direct hits...

flux is acid, mostly removes rust and other oxide type stuff. clean it off when you're done. let the keg sit for a few days to passivate, or do a small acid soak if you really wanna be anal about it. if you can solder electronics you'll be fine to solder this. you dont need any other...

if that was your goal, non-pressurized aging, i'd say go ahead. use some jb weld. it will be fine.

cant recall the name but there is a site you can google that lists all the threadings for corny kegs. actual Cornelius as well as firestone/spartanburg/etc. i'd go there, determine which keg you have and then search for the correct post. "universal" posts only work on one threading, and...

this is enough for me to give it a go. have never done step mashes. but for as long as i've been brewing its one of those things that's a never ending debate. some folks swear by it, most dont know/dont care/dont bother, and the rest say its not worth it. but the reasons "why" are...

I have no words. Ok, but if you had to summarize( few words, one sentence,etc) , what is the “difference” you refer to? What is it you feel you get in the beer that doesn’t happen with a single temp mash?

if you had to give a TL;DR/ BLUF answer- the reason you stick with hochkurz?

@KegLand you guys got the rapt software all sorted out yet in re: the alerts for mobile phones? i havent had to brew in a while so i havent checked but last time you guys pulled all the alert function out of profiles. i saw a notice that alerts were coming back but would love to know so...

1- beers where you want very clean results, little to no ester character 2- you can do either. 3- hefe and other wheats can have trouble, some saisons report trouble as well 4- up to you. generally if you keep it under 7-10psi it isnt considered to inhibit growth of yeast, so that's what i...
