Is there an easy way to tell a stainless Perlick faucet from a chrome plated one if I have physical access to them and they aren't connected to a shank or anything?

Jamil/Mr Malty recommends against pitching the entire starter if it's more than 5% of your batch volume. So I'd recommend decanting. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

The one on the left looks exactly like my WLP002 starter the one time I used it. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

You're in the US, so you want the 110VAC model.

It seems logical that moving the thermostat to a relatively colder spot in the fridge and blocking air circulation with 2 kegs would cause parts of the fridge to be warmer on the same thermostat setting. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I heard back from the organizer and there is no entry fee. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Sorry to dredge up an old thread. I'm looking to enter this year's competition and couldn't find anything in their online info about an entry fee. Is there one? http://pouringatthecoast.com/pouring-event/

Very clever solution. What's the piece that you used to connect the gas quick disconnect to the splitter? Thanks!

Here's a blog post I read recently about this: http://www.notsoprofessionalbeer.com/2013/09/brewing-with-yogurt.html?m=1

I use the Home Depot paint strainer bags and haven't had that problem. What material is your bag made out of?

Thanks. I'll go with that number and if I wind up slightly over pitching that's okay.

About a month ago I made a starter from half a vial of White Labs WLP002. I used roughly 600 ml of 1.040 starter wort in a 2L flask on a stir plate and estimated the cell count to be just over 100 Billion using YeastCalc. I wound up not brewing that weekend and put the flask in the fridge with...

I started a batch of cider last night using 2.5 gallons of "fresh" Kirkland/Costco apple juice. I added 1/4 teaspoon of Fermaid-K, 1/8 teaspoon DAP and pitched half a vial of White Labs WLP0002 English Ale Yeast at about 65°F. OG was 1.048. I put it in my fermentation fridge and set the temp...

Thanks for the info. I won't worry about a fan for now in that case.

Thanks for the tip. I was having space problems until I threw away the plastic flap from the STC-1000.

I'm in the process of building a fermentation chamber using this unit and like the OP will be using reptile heat tape mounted to the inside wall for heating. I'll mostly be fermenting at ale temps and will sometimes have two 3 gallon better bottles fermenting. Has anyone with a similar...

My return trip to Home Depot for a deeper outlet box was not fruitful. On their website they refer to the dimension I'd call "depth" as "Assembled Height", which threw me off. So what's a good source for project boxes? I looked on the Radio Shack website and the largest one I found on there...

All things being equal, I'd rather avoid the drilling and cutting that a project box would require. Plus the outlet boxes are quite inexpensive. But a project box is certainly my next purchase if I can't find a suitable outlet box.

That looks like it should work but it's apparently not available in store. However, that reminds me that I saw a similar outlet box when I was in the store but steered away from it because of the large nails sticking out of the sides. At the time I didn't notice (or care) that it was deeper, but...
