The 17 L is probably gas at standard temperature and pressure. 5 lb of CO2 is about 1200 L at 21C and 1 atm. Not a good deal!

Thanks. Guess I'd better save my gut for ingestion, not thinking.

Don't know the science behind it, but my gut feeling is that if you carb to the number of volumes appropriate for sea level, you will be over-carbed at a higher altitude. With exposure to the lesser pressure at higher altitude, the CO2 will try to escape faster i.e. be over-carbed. Am I...

Why are you carbing 3 psi more? The regulator is referenced to atmospheric pressure (regardless of altitude). You are pouring to atmospheric pressure. Go with standard pressures. You're probably over-carbing.

Can't find the reference right now, but 60 sec through a scintered diffuser at 1 L/min is supposed to give 12 mg/L. Just bought http://www.ebay.ca/itm/281940846747 and will soon know how long a Home Depot cylinder lasts. I think this kind of control is needed. Without it, just consider that if...

Personally, I'd ditch the paint strainers and go for a good purpose-built bag. This is what I use. https://www.mashedin.beer/collections/custom-brew-in-a-bag-biab/products/premium-custom-biab?variant=1120930813 Custom size and velcro strap to attach to pot. Mine has 4 straps for lifting, instead...

A liquid tight conduit fitting has a fixed size (the size of the conduit). I believe what is pictured is a cable gland, that will cover a range of sizes. Couldn't find a reference quickly for the size you will need, but this is the idea...

I find Craigslist in Canada pathetic. The only good deals it shows are transborder! Kijiji is not much better for motors. The OP "would rather not have to rig up pulleys, I'm looking for a more compact setup if possible." I also am on a budget for my brewing and looked long and hard at it...

I'd be looking for the noisemaker itself and snip those little wires going in to it.

Canadian prices, Canadian $. You'd choke on our brewing supplies prices too!

http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/1-2-in-spade-handle-electric-drill/A-p8548588e Got mine on sale last year for $60. Mounted my mill on an old printer stand and dedicated the drill to it.

I personally don't have an O2OCD problem, just use foil and have had no complaints. However, has anyone considered, or tried, an oxygen scavenger such as food grade sulfite in an S shaped (2-way) airlock?

Thanks again Lee. I'll order in the 303 shank and try it out. Manufactured by some one else, probably not the same issue. If I do find an issue with it, I'll definitely report back.

Thanks Lee. This has been a really long thread and I may have missed it - is the typical passivation process for 303 inadequate, or just Perlick's application of it? Will this be a typical 303 issue, or just in some cases?

Slightly off topic, but still dealing with 303 and passivation - I have been looking at the Intertap faucets and shanks and found the following on the shank description: "It is a beer shank with 1/4" Bore made of 303 stainless steel. This is the perfect shank for fridge conversions, jockey...

Sure would like to try the ITC-310T. Thanks

For other Canadians affected by the high exchange rates and lack of skills/equipment, try http://www.mashedin.beer/ . Excellent bags, flat bottom design and free shipping. With the favorable exchange rate in the other direction and free worldwide shipping, maybe something for Americans to look...

Thanks for all the responses! The last 2 lbs I have used were Hops Connect(batch 13016) 8.3%. I've been trying for a little more "grapefruity" to match a brew I did a couple of years ago, before I started taking good notes, but I haven't been getting it. What I was really wondering was how the...

My usual Cascade hops have been 8-8.5% AA. I recently bought some from a new supplier and they are only 5.5%. I will obviously have to up the quantity I use to achieve the desired IBU. Does anybody have an idea how this will affect the flavor?
