    "Home Draft" Mini Kegerator

    Why not just regulate the co2 down to below 50psi before the adapter? The internal reg is going to step it down to 15psi anyway. The only reason the cylinders are that high is for volume.

    Sterilizing tap water for kit brewing

    I boil my make up water and use my IC in it just like wort to speed the process. It takes 25 minutes at most for 4 gallons. If you want to do it real easy, just boil it the night before and let it cool on the burner.

    Fermcap s-1

    I kill the burner right as I dump the hops. I find that the bubbles from the boil are excited by the hops. They sort of foam for a few seconds. I stir them in real quick and light it back. It's off boil maybe 20 seconds, but it helps a lot.

    Hurricane Preparations?

    Fill your tub with water. If you loose water pressure, use a gallon pitcher to flush the toilet by dumping it in the bowl. I'm a Louisiana native. As Long as your home is ok, the worst is just losing power for a few days and being hot and bored. Fill up your gastank too. It shouldn't be too bad...

    All my beer comes out sweet!!

    I have good hop utilization with a hop bag. I use fermcap too, so I sometimes get too much if there is such a thing. I do dunk the bag with my spoon about every five minutes and give it a stir.

    Lid on pot to bring wort to boil

    My first batch was on an electric stove and I couldn't get a boil for a long time. I didn't know about DMS and left the lid on to help it boil. It tastes like grass now. DMS is defenitly still an issue. I even shook the condensate off the lid into the pot. *doh!*

    How much propane per brew

    I do a 4 gallon boil and use about 2lbs per batch. Take the empty weight off the tank handle, measure the tank with a scale, and then do a brew and measure again. You'll have a good idea how many batches you can get.

    What welder are you using?

    I like my Hobart handler 140 I got from Northern Tool. It's a very good machine for the money, and comes with everything but a bottle. It has paid for itself many times over.

    [corona mill] am I missing a part....

    That little cylinder that's all rough on the end is broken off of something on the unit. The small channel running through the roughness is where that cotter pin used to sit. I'm not familiar with that particular machine, but that's definitely broken. I bet one of the rotating shafts has a...
