A Fistful of Dollars was an unofficial remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo. Just like The Magnificent Seven was a remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. As usual, the original is better than the remake (IMHO)...

I use a step bit to drill the appropriately sized hole. I built a small stand with scrap 2x4s. This BobbyM has an excellent write-up on the process. A standard propane torch is adequate. I will say that if you are doing one vessel, one time, this process isn't worth it. I've modified dozens...

I drill or greenlee punch all of my stainless steel vessels and silver-solder the tri-clamp ferrules. Works like a charm...

To each his or her own. Everything lumped to one side affects the symmetry. My wife is an Interior Designer, and that lop-sided look would not appeal to her. Happy Wife, Happy Life...

I use a 15.5 gallon sanke brite keg as my fermentor, and lately I've had great success with a very small (1oz) first wort hop in a 10 gallon batch, followed by a large 8-10 oz addition at whirlpool. I then allow the wort to cool naturally overnight in the sanke, oxygenate, pitch the yeast, allow...

Yup, ease of keg removal while still allowing for expansion...

Nothing special, I just converted the freezer I previously used as a fermentation chamber. All of the hoses are 1/4" flare, so it's easy to change out connectors. I'm making a little controller that will measure the top and bottom temperatures in the keezer, and turn on some fans when...

Now into my 3rd 10-gallon batch, and couldn't be happier!! I liked it so much I ordered another one.

I've got suck-back in my blow-off...

Not a problem, the 2" would be nice, but the 1.5" is great!

Sign me up!!!:rock: I'd also be interested in a 2" mandrel.

I got a trivet included with the 25gal stainless stock pot that I converted into a bottom-drain mash tun. It was about an inch high, so I decided to use it along with a custom-made brew bag. About halfway through a flaked rye-heavy mash I noticed that my RIMS-recirculation had slowed...

In my adult life; I worked as a Crypto Repair Specialist in the Air Force, a Weapons Specialist in the Air National Guard, a Tank Commander / Platoon Sgt. in the Army National Guard, Commercial Broadcast Equipment Engineer, Computer Hardware and Software Design, Civilian and Law Enforcement...

The farmer was out in his field when he discovered his older son reclining on a haystack, pleasuring himself. "Alright son, it's about time we got you married off," said the farmer "you need a woman to take care of you". So the son got married, and about 3 months later, the farmer again found...

A Well-Bred, Cultured older lady was traveling through the countryside when she stopped at the General Store. The proprietor could tell that the lady was in some distress, so he asked "What seems to be the problem, Ma'am?" The lady responded "I can't believe what I've just seen! About a mile...

A zookeeper had developed a potion made from baby seagulls that appeared to indefinitely prolong the life of dolphins. One day he was in the marine aviary collecting new babies for more tests. As he was leaving the aviary, he discovered that the lion pride has escaped, and were sleeping at the...
