USA Red, thanks.

Yep it still works. In fact I had wondered about it being stuck in the beginning and removed all the guts to try and attach the connector, still didn't work for me. It holds pressure when the connector is disconnected and flows when you have the connector attached. I'm hoping that it was just...

Hey guys. Thanks for the replies. I went by my LHBS this morning. He tried one of his black connectors on it and it didn't seem to fit either. Then he put his full body weight on it and it snapped into place. Now mine connects with a medium amount of force. Scratch everything I said...

You bet. You guys do great work.

I did contact MoreBeer. They think that the keg has two gas ports and they are shipping me another liquid port. I hope that fixes it. It seems weird that I would have one gas port with a groove and one without. Is there a such thing as a gas port with no groove?

Hey guys, Background, I used to keg a couple of years ago. Sold my stuff. Recently got tired of bottling and purchased one new Torpedo keg. The keg has port with cut groove on the in side, port with no groove on the out side. My gray gas connector will connect to either port. They black...

Thanks saltymriv, that makes sense.

Hey guys, So I watched a youtube video interview of a pro brewer. This guy said that he won't even talk to someone if they describe a recipe in terms of pounds and ounces of grain. Rather he likes for the recipe to be described in terms of ratios or percentages. Like 84% 2 row, 10% Vienna, 6%...

That makes sense, and that is a good idea for a test to see how it would behave being totally off. Thanks.

Hi guys, I have recently purchased this refrigerator used from a meat processor. https://www.webstaurantstore.com/delfield-406-ca-27-undercounter-refrigerator-5-7-cu-ft/305406CA.html I am thinking of putting a temp control on it. The cool think about it and also the thing that causes me...

Wow! That's wicked awesome looking.

I once tried to tie some cheesecloth over the end of my cane to filter trub. It created bubbles like crazy. It may be been CO2 coming out of suspension around the cloth. Either way I didn't like it, so I ditched the cloth and it has been fine since.

Thanks gang. I had considered using mineral oil on it like I use on my cutting boards and such, but I didn't want to risk any type of oil contamination messing with head retention. White oak is one of the better moisture resistant woods so I think I'm just going to go with it and let it age...

Maybe I should have gone with "Turning Bread Into Gold".

Hey thanks for the idea on the wood burning. I've done some signs in the past and used ink for the lettering, but I knew I didn't want to do that. I never thought about burning it. Thanks for the heads up on the need for re-sanding. It is made out of quarter sawn white oak.

Huzzah for giveaways.

Well, here it is. My hole drilling is better than my router "engraving", but what the heck. I'm hoping this will help with the doughballs better than the stainless spoon that I have been using.

Excellent thread. Thanks for the link.

So lately I have been making some ciders. At it's simplest form I can just dump some yeast into a one gallon jug of apple juice and cover the mouth with sanitized aluminum foil. I end up with something that tastes like apple juice with the sweetness removed and alcohol added. Not the tastiest...

That is awesome.
