Mine leaked too, but it was where the valve would thread onto the nipple. I simply got some large rubber washers from lowes and put it between the washer and the valve and it solved the problem. See the leak for me wasnt from leaking past the O-ring, it was from leaking back through the...

In my experience, I tried to do this to my keggle, but it didnt work because the box lid was too thick to put in and still be able to get the nut on the element inside the keg. So I came up with a little different solution: I took a 1/2 inch wide 1/4 inch thick piece of steel bar and enamel...

Looks good to me Vincemash

First, I also used the 7x5x3 box, it worked just fine, looks very similar to the picture above. At first I used a cycle time of 10 min, then changed it back to 5 min. After watching my system, it's efficient enough that it doesnt gain enough heat to cause the cooler to turn back on in 10 min...

I just brewed a beer for my wife that was a sunshine wheat clone with more of a body to it (similar to blue moon) and used WLP320 for it. It came out very tasty, I fermented at 19.5 deg C (67 deg F) and it came out very nice, it tastes almost exactly like she wanted, sunshine wheat with more...

+1 I do this, it works wonders.

Yea, I think I'll try it without the chocolate in the boil and see how it is, and then I'll know what each one does to the flavor and then perhaps add it back into the boil.

When I brewed this I used the dried sweet orange peel from the LHBS. I'm thinking that next time I'll use actual orange zest from one of the sweet variety of oranges from the grocery store. The more I read on this I read conflicting reports. Some say that coriander will bring out the orange...

lol, I suppose, but I'd rather get it out of the recipe, haha.

So I've already brewed this, and it came out alright, but I want more chocolate flavor, and the orange is very over powering right now, but that I mean there is a lot of citrus flavor, I'd like to enahnce the orange flavor without more citrus (so coriander added to the revised, maybe reduce the...

Yea the strobing would mostly come from if you tried to film it on camera. Hmm, I think series same direction or reverse parallel would work. In reverse parallel you're right you'd only see the .7v drop across the diode. In series same direction you'd prevent all current flow on one half of...

This will work, the only issues I would see are that the LED would work at half brightness because you'll only be running current 1/2 of the time and could get some interesting strobe effects with out of phase light sources. My other concern would be that you'd be consistently passing the...

So I've been copying recipies over from beer tools pro into beer smith and have found that the OG and FG and IBU dont line up. I setup my equipment in beersmith with what lines up with what I've had in the past brewing with my system (this is all extract brewing by the way) I've had 2...

/gasp I cant believe I left out the new belgum brew tour. They give you pretty much 4 free beers on the tour, and it's pretty interesting. Definitely check that out.

The absorption spectrum of most materials is VERY low at microwave frequencies. This is why WIFI signals pass through almost everything (they are around 2.4ghz normally), the exception being metals that make nice faraday cages. When you change the electron orbits of any element by putting it...

First off, I fly into baltimore every time I go to harrisburg to see the wife's family, and I love inner harbor. Second, I dont know how much time you'll have, but the trip from DIA to down town by bus is a good hour ride. So if you have like 4 hours you could head down town. If you take...

Agreed. Though things get a lot more complicated with an ARM... at work we use dual core ARM cortex 4's for our hard drives (in the next line up the current 7200.12 drives use an ARM 9E) and the thing has a L1 cache and a ton of other crap that causes us a head ache sometimes if your cache is...

I use 2x 5500 watt elements in a keggle. I can have both on for 11kw, one on for 5500kw or them wired in series for 2750kw. It takes under 10 min to get 6 gallons to boil, then I switch them to in series and let it boil the rest of the batch at that power, works great, I get about 1 gallon of...

Thanks! I'll just get a label sheet and print it my self, the shipping to get one to me would cost more than the whole sheet its self, but thanks for the offer!

Mind if I ask where you got that really awesome deg C to deg F sticker? I'd love to use something similar to it, and printing one out on paper and taping it just seems.... lack luster, so I'd like to have one more like yours.
