A lot of unphotographed progress this week. I got my doors all ready to mount on the cabinet. I spent a bunch of time making the interior of the cabinet look nicer by throwing a couple coats of white paint on the inside of it so it matches the tile on the wall with the doors open, and put some...

I got some good work in this past weekend. I got my baseboard trim up, and I did a bit of work on my double-boil kettle stand to get the burners mounted (still a bit more to go on that). Sunday before the super bowl I spent about 5 hours polishing up my two keggles. That was a pain but boy do...

Last night I hung the lacquered rustic trim boards on that last window, and I got my cabinet top fixed to the base with some brackets, and started the work on the cabinet doors. I sloped the cabinet top a bit so if there is a big spill it will come to the front not down the back of the wall. Now...

Man that was an adventure, but no. I had just bought a new blade and it was thinner than the piece behind that blade that holds the splash guard in place. Even if I rotated the tile I was still left with a ton of uncut tile in the middle so I just setup a quick plastic splash zone in my shop...

Man I like this idea. I just got a spike flex+ with the gas transfer attachment (haven't used it yet) I could connect from that to the gas post of the starsan filled keg, jumper to liquid post of the empty keg, and attach the blow off tube from that kegs gas post to a sani filled vessel for blow...

So a quick update, progress was slow since November since we had four separate visits from friends and family since then, which was great but hard to get a lot of project time in. I’ve been working a bit here and there the last few weeks and have the cabinet top just about finished, I do not...

A bit slow the last month+ my folks visited for 3 weeks over the holidays so I didn't get much time to work and just hung out. I've done a bit of work getting the last part of my burners finished, as well as figuring out the final step of the gas and water connections at the HLT. I was just...

Yes if you read up on it there are tricks to make it work. I glued down and sealed the coasters in place with mod-podge which is a clear crafting glue, it worked well. The caps I had to do a thin pour in that section of the shelf and have my wife help me quickly set them all in place into the...

So i've made some progress the last few weeks. I got the face to my cabinet made and mounted on the rough framing. This allowed me to get the tile on the side of the cabinet grouted. I also did the jam extension for the window trim for that last window. I have to now get the cabinet top finished...

yes thats what I've been doing with this strain for years. I love this strain. In fact I just did a version with a mixed culture of this this and another farmhouse strain that I dont like as much as the straight 291. I generally pitch around 70 and ramp up to 90-95 by day 5. My ferm chamber is...

looks great!

Hmm you could be right, I hadn't thought of that. It seems to be working fine the last few weeks, but I should figure out a way to secure that cylinder there upright. It was a bit top-heavy there with the dual regulator, which is why I decided laying it down is better than having it fall over!

So a small amount of progress to update: I got the tile up on the side of the cabinet which will face the burners. I also got my barrel-hoods almost ready to rock. I got them cleaned up and painted on the inside and out with spray paint to prevent rust, and I got the hole cut into them for the...

With the epoxy finished last weekend I spent a couple hours ripping the last boards for the wood accent wall and got those in place now. It looks great in this room now, I can start to envision the finished room even better and it's got me excited. This weekend we're doing our big annual...

So I got the epoxy down this weekend without incident. I was pretty stressed doing this as I never worked with epoxy like this before and all this stuff I was embedding was one-of-a-kind mementos from my time living in Germany on the Belgian border. I did three coats on Saturday, a thin seal...

I was away a few weeks on vacation. Now that i'm back i'm trying to get my epoxy pour shelf done. I spent a few evenings this week getting my coasters set and coated with mod-podge for the epoxy compatibility. last night my wife helped me set the caps into a thin layer of epoxy to get them...

my standard lines are ~15' of 3/16 tubing, this pours seltzer OK, but if it's getting pushed with 30PSI i lose alot of gas from the water when pouring.

Yes this will work, I've done it before when I was trying to run beer with my second regulator (I have seltzer on all the time) it works fine but I usually just unhook the gas from the seltzer entirely and then just hit it with a burst of CO2 every few days when needed. If you have it hooked up...

I've done this for a few competitions. I make sure I chill my bottles in a starsan vessel in the fridge, I hook up my growler filler, then I put the bottle into a 1 gallon plastic pitcher and fill it up (no purging or anything of bottle but that wouldn't hurt). Usually there is a good bit of...

Yeah my initial addition was 2/3 of a pound, when I added the rest I was at 1# total.
