I know it's a crappy answer, but its value is purely dependent on what the next owner wants to pay for it. I've seen prices on vintage fridges range from $50 all the way to $1000 and up, it just depends on what value they put on the features yours has. I bought my 1949 GE fridge for $100...

There was this post here but it looks like some of it has been deleted because all I can find is replies to the original thread. Basically the OP cut a hole in the top of a sankey the same shape as a corny lid and it sealed just fine. Then they installed the previously suggested CHI fittings...

One of the key elements to pasteurization is heating it while sealed and then not exposing it to air. So pasteurizing your syrup and water separately and then bottling will do nothing for you unless you're able to bottle in an aseptic environment (unlikely). If you absolutely don't want to...

You'll have a pretty significant difference in alcohol content if you let it ferment out versus check the sweetness after a few days. Which may not be a big deal for you, but just be careful if you serve it to others. Someone who's not accustomed to a hard root beer might think they can drink...

Yeah, That's probably a better plan. Not sure that's food grade for a cutting board. Normally, I'd say "and you don't know where that's been", but you know where that's been, which makes it worse. ON TOPIC: I like the look of it. I was looking around yesterday for veneers and found copper...

No, doesn't sound strange. Sounds like it would make a killer rainbow sherbet! My all-time favorite is still coconut lime. It has never failed me. It's kind of the whole reason behind my blog's color scheme.

Did you try crushing them up before dissolving? How long did you let them dissolve? Do you have a stir plate? What else is in the tablets?

Trader Joe's doesn't allow any artificial preservatives in their products. The most common perservatives in soda, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, are on their Unacceptable Ingredient List. I know that for a fact because the list is sitting in front of me on my desk. That said, the...

McEver distributors sells them through ebay for $45 and usually you can make an offer for a few bucks less. They usually ship 4 to a box, so that's probably the optimum for shipping. There should be a shipping calculator on there that you can play with to see for sure.

Head to a sign shop, offer some homebrew. If that doesn't work, have you tried fiverr?

Non lo sapevo che c'era molto altro che Nastro Azzuro. Sento piu illuminato. Grazie!

When it's off for a while, do you hear any gurgling once you turn it back on? Have you tried it without the STC?

My thoughts exactly. I have a steel belted coleman like this that I picked up at Saver's for $5. It's green, has rust spots all over, and the plastic lining is all yellowed and scratched. It also looks like a previous owner may have tried to do something stupid like cooler cooked corn in it...

2 cups (about 1 lb) per gallon is my general rule of thumb. I find that matches up the best for sweetness and on a g/serving basis with most commercial soft drinks. If you don't want it as sweet/syrupy as kool-aid (same level, instructions are 1 cup to make 2 quarts) or a commercial soda, use...

I rarely do anything with as much bite as a ginger beer, but Schweppes has a raspberry ginger ale that tastes pretty good that I'd like to simulate some day. Apple goes pretty well with ginger, too. Force carbonating 5 gallons of this is always pretty popular at our house, though it's kind of...

Just don't blow anyone up. I can tell you from experience that carbonated yogurt is interesting. Though General Mills didn't seem to see much success from their Fizzix Gogurts. They didn't seem to last long, anyway. I think it reminded too many people of something spoiled. I heard rumors...

Doug, I agree with you on the plastic threads. Seems safer should something go wrong. I guess I hadn't thought of the PRV as anything other than a safety feature because these were originally built for soda, so there wouldn't be as much need to purge O2. If the PRV on a keg was never meant as...

I have been told that the PRVs are supposed to release at around 60 or 70psi. I know the PRV on my regulator body releases around there, but I don't know about the PRV in the keg. The keg itself is rated to 130psi, but you shouldn't get anywhere close to that, hence the PRV. So yeah, it did...

Yeah, never been a fan of carrots in Jello. I think I've only seen/tried it once, though. As far as larger volume, how much are you planning on making? I would suggest a corny keg, but you'd have to have an awfully long handled spoon to dig it out with.:)

About 20 years ago, Jello introduced flavors that were specifically branded as "sparkling": I'm not sure if they're still around in that format. IIRC the instructions were to mix with 1 cup boiling water to dissolve, let it cool a bit then mix with 1 cup cold sparkling beverage (champagne...
