    LHBS Ouratgeous Prices

    The gases all come from the same basic sources. (Air Products, Air gas, Linde, Air Liquide) the food grade has an analytical report and the industrial doesn't. Same tank. Steel vs aluminum on an inert gas source is not going to make a difference. This isn't semiconductor grade activity.

    Keg Thievery or Lucky Find?

    :rolleyes: This forum and the keg Nazis... If you don't have a certificate of authenticity signed by the CEO of the brewery while in possession of a keg with any marking, you are hereby waived of all due process and shall proceed directly to death row. Sorry you bought a malt mill right before...

    New favorite keg cleaning brush

    Stumbled across this soft brush with a long handle when I was over at home depot. It was somewhere around $7. With the stiff long handle, I can reach the bottom of the keg with some conviction. I just use regular dish soap and warm water - then store with a little bit of sanitizer.

    California SF Bay Area/East Bay/Tracy: Barley Crusher $25

    Yes, you did. Love the screen name! DATA! Yes the quantity was ridiculous - but I had Friday off and plenty of time for two batches. ( I brew 15-20 gallon batches.) It's cold enough to ferment perfectly just sitting in the garage these days. Not aware of a club. If you make beer, they will...

    Hops: hopsdirect.com CO2: local “grow” business or welding shop. Get at least a 10# bottle. Grains: LHBS. Bulk sacks for 2 row If you're REALLY cheap... harvest the yeast from the last batch and save it in a sanitized mason jar in the fridge. I do that for about three generations before I start...

    Upgrading Mash/Sparge Cooler - What is new?

    I have one. 15 gallon size. It’s good for about 30# of grain. Holds temp well after you figure out what the initial temp drop is. (8* to 15* depending on the amount of grain and the temp of the grain.) Pro: Pretty Easy to clean Shallow screen for minimal loss Extra port on the top if you want to...

    Love my Tilt Hydrometer!

    i really don’t think we’re asking too much here. Precision on initial and final readings are moderately valuable. But not important beyond 3 significant figures. The greatest value is the ramp of change and the temperature measurement.

    Love my Tilt Hydrometer!

    Update: battery died. About 5 batches. Guessing about 10-12 weeks of actual floating use. Not bad
