holy crap...just read through 99 pages (helped get me to lunch time at work, woo!)...i have to say, this has definitely inspired me to want to build a little "brew shed" and maybe some day I'll go pro. keep up the good work and best of luck to ya!!!

i could use $100!

awesome!

be careful...meth labs use them for off gassing. Check the valve and stems for any discoloration/corrosion...and stay well away from em. something i had to learn thanks to new FEMA regulations on fire training

i'd think at that point the condensation in the air conditioner would freeze on the metal coils causing the AC to stop blowing cool air?

lol ah gotchya, and yea there would be steam coming from the boiling wort

damn man...time to track em down!

just a heads up, not all fire inspectors run out of fire houses. It depends if your town is small or not. Not sure how stuff works in cali, but over here we have a county fire inspector as well as our local inspectors. If you live in a larger town/city, that has a career fire department, its...

your best bet might be talking to the local fire inspector...ask him if he knows where you could get a used class A (pressurized water) extinguisher. Usually extinguisher service shops sell them.

haha thats awesome!...it looks pretty straight forward - CO2 to the air fill valve, to drink just press lever. just gotta keep an eye on the pressure gage thats on the extinguisher itself, make sure you have the right amount of beer in there or else that bitch could go BOOM, or just not work at...

yessss....and it tastes like chalk...but a little worse lol

and even better if transporting moon shine...and as an added bonus it comes with a pressurized straw! in all honesty, the only extinguishers i'd repurpose would be a class A, SS 2.5gal pressurized water extinguishers, and the steel class B & C CO2 extinguisher - stay away from ABC extinguishers...

I'm assuming ur referring to me? That wouldn't really matter because the plastic isn't sitting in the boiling water...it'd be getting hit by steam which has a smaller surface area, so it wont see that 200* :)

i was just over a fellow member's house yesterday to get bottles, just so happens he was brewing and showed me his set up. For the hops he built a really cool "hop bag" using a paint strainer and some hardware found at home depot or lowes. Definitely think I'll be going this route with my next...

haven't tried it yet, actually just bought them the other day so waiting for em to get here. i'd say fill the infuser with enough hops so that they can still kind of move around, but barely. It's almost the same concept as straining tea, as long as water can flow freely over the hops you...

not a problem. glad to help!

soak em in boiling water for a min, then pull apart.

check ebay, i just got 2 infuser balls for $5 shipped. you could always just use the infusers as they're meant to be used, and place the hops in them (they come in different sizes) ;)

how bout using a tea infuser ball around ur pickup tube...works really well.

haha thankss...the leprechaun was exactly what i was gonna draw up in the first place then i saw it on google images and was like ****! i aint using it commercially and it'll save me time, why not?! ...but maybe someday ill actually draw it out.
