If the beer tastes better, does it matter whether or not the effect is psychological? Think about food being plated. A meal that has been plated well will always taste better than the exact same meal in a big mound. It's bringing another stimulus into the experience psychologically which...

Oh ya, it was 15 abv as well...

It was extremely complex and overwhelmingly sweet. I tried and simply couldn't pull any specific features out of it. It was like they tried to balance the flavors of the different hops instead of trying to create a specific flavour profile. But having so many just created a mess of taste that...

Hebrew brewing anniversary beer. "15 malts, 15 hops, 15 years of brewing" I had maybe 4oz, and felt sick the rest if the night. Almost threw up just choking down that much.

Bottlebomber, you did strike me as someone who couldn't live without walking on heated, gold plated stairs polished by the hands of five young virgins every day. ;)

It is a lot of fun playing with other people's money! And ya, $100k just on the stairs at their house.

Oh ya, and I don't even know how much the floating glass was...

Holy crap! I'm fairly certain that panel would levitate! I dont really do any industrial scale electrical, but from what I have seen, there is some awesome stuff that blows my mind out there. There is three stories, with six sets of stairs in that house. Each step has two high end LED lights...

I'm an electrician, and love my job! The one pic is of some awesome stairs in a 10,000 Sq ft house I did last year. The lights worked out awesome. Cool what you can do with $10k for lighting alone on the stairs. The other is a live 400A fuse box I was measuring. It's weird. It looks like some...

Dude, if you don't know what you're doing or talking about, don't talk about it and confuse others who are curious. Don't worry about being electrocuted with 12v. Ever licked a 6v battery? That's about all your going to get. There's a reason they use 12v dc for these submersible pumps, it's...

+1 to this! I would add that finding a power supply that exceeds the amperage stated on the pump is best, the pump can draw more amps than it states, and having a power supply that is right at the rating can cause the supply or motor to fail. 1A or 1.2A on a .8 rated pump is more than enough...

Theres a local brew pub here in Alberta that has a house ale so bad it gives me flashbacks to my mom trying to wash my mouth out with soap when I was a kid. I hope for the breweries sake they accidentally kegged it, without rinsing out the kegs after washing. Disgusting.

If I could find a utility belt for my cat, I could make this one come true for you... I think mine is too big ;)

I dont fully understand the head height vs friction math, but if I needed consistent flow at 4' head, I could achieve this with 3/8 tubing vs 1/2 as there would be less mass to push up correct? Or would friction negate any gains?

What about putting 5 valves on it, and running a 1/4" water line to the fridge (if you can) to the fifth valve. Add a line to the program that monitors the flow on the beer lines. If there's no flow for 2 seconds, it closes the beer valve, opens the water, and you can purge quick. It would keep...

Home RO water storage containers have a bladder system to pressurize and dispense water after being run through the RO system. However, you'd need to have a top that could screw off so you could clean it. I think that would be difficult to make without access to manufacturing systems. If your...

I ordered a black one, just got here. I will hook it up sometime this week and see what it can do. Hopefully can transfer from hlt to mlt with about a 4' rise.

+1!!! Zest and vodka works awesome, however, make sure to pour a measured amount, and add measured amounts of vodka zest. (eg, 16oz beer, 1tsp of vodka at a time). Mix well and taste. Then mix those ratios into the whole beer. I added a whole bunch "by feel" to a batch and wrecked a beer...

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions. I'm definitely getting one. Now I've even got the SWMBO on board because if you guys!

How much smoke does it actually put out consistently?
