No, it pumped just fine, it just wouldn't hold a siphon.

I have that a try this weekend. I was able to siphon starsan into the keg no problem. When I tried to siphon beer, it wouldn't go. Ultimately I ended up dropping the tube through the open cover. I tried keeping the exhaust valve open and then cracking the cover open. I'm not sure what...

I found it works best to push the handles down until the jaws grab the bottle and then pick the whole thing up to complete the capping, holding the capper like you would if you were breaking a stick. I broke a few bottles pushing the handles all the way down with the bottle on the counter...

You can make your own using either at nut or threaded insert. Drill a hole in the object, insert the insert, and screw it on. I'm debating on what to do with my boring handles.

I will have to check if out. My pipeline is going to be full for a few weeks now though. My fermentors are all going to be full for a couple weeks.

That is actually good to know. I've never been traveling for more than 5 weeks, but a longer trip could certainly happen. It was actually one of the bigger hurdles preventing me from getting into brewing. I though leaving a new in the fermentor for more than a month would ruin it. Now I...

No doubt. I'm one of those guys that won't pay 100 dollars for something I can build myself for 80. You could also use a spare ale pail and a bucket heater for sparge water. Cost there would be about 50 bucks. The bucket heater could be used elsewhere as well.

Only if you have money to burn. You could build the same thing for half the price. 10 gal home Depot cooler $45 3/8 in valve $5 3/8 in by 1.5 in nipple $3 3/8 in barb fittings 2 x $3 Washers $2 That comes to $61 and you have a hot liquor tank. Add $40 for a false bottom and you have a mlt...

Just to tack on to a thread with a similar question. ... I have a recipe that calls for priming with maple sugar. Would this be something like Brown Sugar only mixed with maple syrup instead of molasses? If so, would I want to keg with a shot of maple syrup as well?

If you are away from your computer, it is handy to be able to search for something on the Web while composing an email. To me, the true beauty of Android lies in its customization ability. Don't like the keyboard? Get a different one. I don't consider having to pay for one a major...

It works really well. Just make sure you use solid shortening to grease the piston. The only reason I want to get a vertical stuffer is so I can get a larger stuffer. My batches require refilling the stuffer 2 times of I am doing snack sticks or most of my sausage recipes and 3 or 4...

Makes sense. Thanks.

Horribly off topic.... I had a buddy from Britain visiting and we went out to a local bar for some libations. The waitress came over and asked "Can I get you guys sorted out" and he busted out laughing. I took pity on the poor girl and explained that bit of British slang to her. Boy did...

Cool. I will have to pick up yet another liquid disconnect now. Muchas Gracias

I'm going to be kegging my first time this weekend. Do you fill the keg straight out of the fermentor or does it go into the bottling bucket first?

Here's another. ...

Not a bad little stuffer by the looks of it. You could also go with a lever style stuffer if you only do larger casings (don't bother for snack sticks or even breakfast sausage sized links. ) they run about 50 dollars. A third option is the jerky Canon, which runs about 30 dollars iirc...

That is a Samsung Galaxy note 2 running jelly bean. It is a feature of jelly bean.

Yes, certain types of tasks. Meaning just a few things the Apple allows you to do. If you had a third-party app that needed to do a fair bit of processing before you can use it, switching to another app while you wait isn't going to work. The app will stop loading so the other app can run...

It was actually the same for me. I didn't like beer before going there, having only been exposed to Budweiser, Michelob, and Busch. Many of the restaurants there have their own private brewers or local brewers. Ratzketler is one of the few that I have seen at several places. Honestly...
