    Agave Syrup....

    Founders did exactly what you're talking about here. It was called Mas Agave and was fantastic (IMO) I wish I still had some of them. It was a lime gose with agave aged in tequila barrels. Not sure how much info you can find on it, but you might try emailing the brewery to see if they'd share...

    Melted Breaker

    Probably goes without saying, but I'd replace the wire too. Hopefully you are using a GFCI breaker for your power supply as well.

    Random Picture Thread

    Unfortunately, ULA gave the booster contract to ATK (who is now owned by their competition, Northrop:bravo:) and Aerojet (who I worked for) decided to close the Sacramento, CA facility and move operations to other facilities around the country. Now, after 35+ years I was laid off on the 5th of...

    Random Picture Thread

    I built the two solid rocket boosters strapped to the main liquid engine of the Atlas V in this flight (and many others). I've seen launches from the cape, but that's a pretty cool way to see it fly! The next one is supposed to be manned.

    Ball lock valves

    Many brewers don't realize that there's a cavity around the ball that gets liquid in it while opening or closing the valve, but is sealed off whenever the valve is all the way open or closed. This cavity can get pretty nasty if it doesn't get flushed and dried properly. When cleaning up after a...

    Sacramento CA Area Group Buy- #1?

    What were you looking to group buy? Grain, hops, etc? Eventually I'm hoping to make a trip to Oregon to get some Mecca Grade Estate malts. Most grains I get through from the LHBS Brewmiester. You could probably save a few bucks if you were in Concord and got them from Morebeer, but gas for a...

    Dough In- Devices and techniques?

    I add my strike water to the tun a little higher than predicted to preheat tun, cool to strike temp, and add grains aprox 1/3 to 1/2 at a time depending on grain bill size. I have tried many different spoons/paddles, but have found this to be the absolute best for stirring and breaking up dough...

    Herms coil in BK for chilling

    I did it and ended up taking it out. I brew in my garage and didn't want to pull out a dripping immersion chiller and carry it outside. I used a 50' stainless coil hard plumbed through the keggle wall. I was using a CIP ball and PBW to clean after a brew. It seemed to be working great, but...

    Float switch

    I use one similar to this and it works great. Like BrunDog said, I just interrupt the signal to the SSR with it.

    Problem with new Riptide Pump

    My pump has been great ever since I got the redesigned impeller. I haven't had any more issues with it (though I tend to throttle it back a little if I run it while boiling) and Blichmann's tech support was great. The only complaint I would have is that it would be nice if they offered a center...

    Tilt hydrometer SG

    Did you mess with the calibration? It looks like it's off quite a bit, your uncalibrated is showing 1.048

    Anyone brewing Brut IPA?

    Don't judge the style based on Stone's, although I generally love most of Stone's beers, I thought this was one of the worst examples of the style that I've had. Not sure what's available to you locally, but I recently had one from Sierra Nevada that I thought was a much better example, though...
