Id just like to make a suggestion on the racking cane. I have one and its never been used. Reason being, I bought an auto-siphon. Trust me, it's worth the $9.

Yep. Exactly what I had to say...I use starsan and came across the same thing out of the airlock when I started brewing. An acidic bitterness is the best I can describe the taste. Beer was fine. There was one time after kegging a cider, I apparently didn't flush my serving line of starsan...

Mr Big B- Buddy, glad you enjoyed your stay. All the better with a DD. Glad you you went to the Hofbrau. Always a fav of mine. Im gonna take note of your other stops tho, so I can give em a try.

Im trying to get around chemically stopping fermentation- I have a couple batches of cider fermenting with 1118 that Id like to 'back flavor/sweeten' with about 30% worth of apple juice. Ive read where the majority of yeast doesnt ferment well in a carbonic solution. My plans are to...

Hey theres another good idea!....I'd think that be air tight as well. Couple thoughts I have to add with grommets tho- 1) The 3/8" tube would have to fit tight enough within the grommet to keep the weight of the coil supported off the bottom of the barrel, unless the coil can rest on the...

I cant find a picture of a flanged backing nut....its a commercial part typically included with commercial back mount faucets for stainless sinks etc. Id say using a normal brass backing nut with a set of washers (also typically used for mounting faucets) wouldnt make a difference. Just go to...

Ill track down some pics of these fittings. Unfortunately Im not at the shop, but I'll find some online to help a bit more. Basically my thoughts are to drill two holes in the lid for the nipples. Holes tight enough, where the nipple hand threads into the plastic. With equal amounts of the...

As a plumber my first thoughts are purchasing a couple running thread brass nipples, 4 brass flanged backing nuts, and 4 female x compression adapters...siliconing the penetration so when both backing nuts tighted to each side of the lid it creates an air tight seal.

Ive been waiting a few months to post to this thread since I purchased this same model from Home Depot at the beginning of Jan this year. After 4 months of using as a kegorator I can confirm these Pro's and Con's discussed earlier in this thread- Pro's-- * Inexpensive and zero 'cold...

Well this one has a few more than that on tap, but regardless Im sure you know Hofbrau is a major brewer in germany similar to our (US) top three is (bud, miller, coors)....but they brew onsite. Which alludes me to the reason for posting-- Im friends with one of the brewers who has been there...

I definitely recommend taking the extra 30min drive and going to Hofbrauhaus in Newport KY. I frequent there a lot! You wont regret it.

Well...wha ha happen was... 2007... Had a bad habit of locking myself out of the house. Not because I didn't have the key...just could never find it on the key ring after drinking. (mailman has woken me up on a couple occasions sleeping on the porch. good guy. family friend). Anyways, I...

We talkin the $99 Kindle? I get what your saying, but Flash isnt dead...

+1..hell yeah haha

why? elaborate... Dude its a zero sum game at this point. Flash isnt outdated. HTML 5 isnt even standard yet, and fock, every focking thing we "think" as standard anymore (.mp3, h.264, .jpg, etc) are indeed owned by private companies. No different than Macromedia...ahem...I mean Adobe. Cough...

Same institutions (banks) that contributed to the subprime crisis...yet as tax payers we had to bail their asses out??!? I dont know about you guys, but in my job, my poor decisions reflect on me. Theres no one to bail me out. I deal only with my credit unions.

Man, Web 2.0 is here...I had a computer shop (sales, service, web design) few years ago before I closed my doors. Then, my approach was .css based on html 4. I catered to small biz and tried to make web presence affordable. To cut costs (time) I bought a lot of templates (no sense in reinventing...

Haha :D I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-shirt. 'Cause it says like, I wanna be formal but I’m here to party too. I like to party, so I like my Jesus to party.

I believe the biggest importance for a Diacetyl rest is because during aging, Diacetyl tends to increase. So if you have a beer at bottling that tastes fine with a slight buttery flavor, that flavor may be overpowering later as it ages. The rate of this increase is affected by temperature as an...

Had someone tell me high hopped beer (specifically IPA they were drinking while explaining this) gets him jacked up like Mountain Dew. Shrug. I laughed to myself anyways. Maybe Im the idiot.
