Has anyone tested this yet? Stainless keggle untouched versus stainless keggle blackened?

Now I know. I'm pouring Friday night and Saturday Day, Island A (New England Beers) by the entrance. Stop by and say "Hi".

I think I'm to the point of putting it on CL as is, and let someone else put the time into replacing the elements and finding the use for it, since I don't plan on yeast harvesting. Thanks for the responses, and sorry, zman, no other related supplies. Just the autoclave.

Edit: I would love some advice or options...thanks in advance! I did get the autoclave. Yay, dumb medical companies clearing out their storage! It's a Pelton and Crane Omni-Clave. It has an 18" chamber, so it's good only for fittings and small items. It has three heating elements, and only...

I've made a few day trips to New Belgium and Odell, with a stop at Coopersmith's (pool, decent pub food) in Ft. Collins for lunch. A friend swears by Ft. Collins brewery, but they didn't have days/hours that matched the others. (And AB is on the way, but that was a wasted hour, even as far as a...

819. Thanks!

Yes on the slimy. I have to overestimate on the measuring to fill a spray bottle, though, so I think that's it. Somebody check my math... 1/20oz. StarSan for a 32 oz. spray bottle? I can't measure that much, so I eyeball it to about 1/10oz in the filler chamber to be safe...

America's Test Kitchen just aired an episode that tested kitchen scales. Once again, an Oxo product reigned supreme. They said that almost digital scales were very accurate, and the only thing that set them apart was price and features. The Oxo had a relatively large pad for larger...

I'm serving for Detroit's Atwater Block brewery, I think. Stunningly good Vanilla Java Porter and Double Down Imperial Amber. Do not miss these. They will go fast, and extra fast when I'm chasing an ounce for you with an ounce for me. Stop by and say hi.

I got mine years ago at the old LHBS for 5G batches in a flat-bottomed enamel pot (the glass Pot-Watcher in the wiki article), but I haven't seen one since. It seems to really help, especially with situations where you would expect a sudden boil and boil-over, like high gravity boils. I used to...

Could someone check my math for me? I try to keep a spray bottle of Star San handy in the kitchen, and a fresh bottle on brew day, rather than a whole bucket to store later. 32 oz. spray bottle = 1/20 oz Star San? As long as I estimate a reasonable 1/8th oz. or less in the squirt filler...

I did the mead thing in 1995- 5G, clover, still, half blackberry/half plain, and saved a few for anniversaries. It was the talk of the wedding, and more people commented on that than on the food that the country club served. Using it for the toast was very memorable. (Disclosure- And a...

Did your trade happen? I am looking for a keg...

Wow. 5+ years ago, when I built my raised bed veggie garden, the Home Depot folks didn't know their heads from their asses about this, so I just stayed away from the green treated lumber. You positive the green stuff today is CCA-free?

Just wondering...taking this to the extreme...I had a late brew day, and left the cleanup for the next morning. 10 hours, or so, and that mash tun had some stank to it. I would guess it was around 120 or 130 still (pretty hot to the touch), but I wasn't curious enough to get the thermometer...

Sorry, I'm a bit late to the thread, and it sounds like you found a mold problem, but two hints: I needed a solution for a big gallon "rubbermaid" water jug/cooler. They always come with that weird plastic flavor, and by the end of a work shift, the water was undrinkable. I swear by...

Thanks so much, sicabeer. The fact that you did not get an error made me dig into it again tonight with some fresh eyes after they glazed over this afternoon. I haven't done much math since high school! Inserting the "^" in, AGAIN, and not trying to use the function button on the task bar or...

I can't find this answer with a search, and the thread I found just did not give me the exact answer I need... I am using OpenOffice to piece together a basic spreadsheet to track my brews. I cannot, for the life of me, input the Tinseth formula for hop utilization into a field, even though...

Thanks for the welcome, guys. I would love to brew with you after I get a few more pieces, or sit in on a brew session. Thanks, Wayne for pointing me to your rig. Amazing stuff. Piece by piece, I'll get there, at least beyond the porch and steps I'm using for my "gravity" stand now. I bet...

Thanks, Wayne, for the welcome on my intro thread. And thanks for pointing me here. Amazing stuff. Piece by piece, I'll get there, at least beyond the porch and steps I'm using for my "gravity" stand now. I would love to sit in on a brew day with you, if the crowd at your place isn't too big.
