    Bottle Bretting

    Hello. I am not sure I am in the right place for this question, so lead me if necessary. I am looking to hear from people who have experience and opinions on adding Brett to beer during bottle conditioning... What was your experience? What is the min. time (and at what temperature) that is...

    3 month bulk aging for Blackberry wine sufficent?

    I do not think there is any reason for concern... yet how would one know that the wine was not throwing anything down anymore unless you were to rack and observe for another extended time? If there is still activity that is obvious or measurable, that would be a different story, but I think it...

    3 month bulk aging for Blackberry wine sufficent?

    Is 3 month bulk aging for Blackberry wine "sufficent"? I can age more in the bottle... I'd like to get going on the next wine and need the fementors. Will I be OK? or will the sky come tumbling down?

    Varnish Wooden Juice Strainers or not?

    The title says it all... I wonder if wooden equipment (presses. strainers, paddles etc.) sould be protectivly varnished or not. Are similar commercial examples varnished or otherwise "sealed" ? Help needed to make a choice here.

    A 9Volt battery, A Megaphone... and a 2A Fuse

    It is certainly possible... :eek:

    A 9Volt battery, A Megaphone... and a 2A Fuse

    OK I looked at the definition for impedance and after reading several an~nd wikipedia's entry I realised your post was the most understandable! Nevertheless, I am amazed at how hard it is for those professionals to construct a simple lay person explanation that is both true and clear. I gather...

    A 9Volt battery, A Megaphone... and a 2A Fuse

    Well I checked the connections redid them and hooked it up... it is working off AA's now. I'll see how long it powers the unit today, with alkalines. Two things if someone could answer, question 1 in post#9 and the more challenging... Why are there 2 input jacks, one "mic" & one "tape"; it...

    A 9Volt battery, A Megaphone... and a 2A Fuse

    Well, now that you mention it... not exactly. I'm quite certain it is a cloud of evil low-life scum sucking hemmoroidal flavored agitator's goblin gibblets that are trying to keep me from being reuninted with my sweet cat who was trapped and dumped on a local mountain a few weeks ago. Days of...

    A 9Volt battery, A Megaphone... and a 2A Fuse

    Yes that makes perfect sense. Can't see why the plastic connector at the end of the 4ohm was ripped up; unless it used to be connectd to a diferent speaker... (could have been an up grade)or perhaps the first connection was in error. So I guess the question is could the dangling 4 ohm wire have...

    A 9Volt battery, A Megaphone... and a 2A Fuse

    For power yes, and while I do not really understand your question, portability and weight are important concerns to me. In addition, those lantern batteries may be harder to come by where I am; not really sure... but I haven't seen one in years!

    A 9Volt battery, A Megaphone... and a 2A Fuse

    Humm, Ok, There are several things I haven’t mentioned, that might be important. The bad fuse wasn’t “burnt” as in a burnt piece of toast; the metal inside the glass tube was simply found in two pieces; There was no discoloration. Does this count as having “burnt out”? Do fuses sometime, due...

    A 9Volt battery, A Megaphone... and a 2A Fuse

    Summary/Update I bought an 8 battery power pack to deliver 12V (to run a 13.2 V megaphone) I tested the concept of using batteries rather than an AC adpter with a 9V battery...but it did not work So I went back to using the AC adpter and it still didn't work. That caused me to look at the fuse...

    A 9Volt battery, A Megaphone... and a 2A Fuse

    so you think I should be able to run it off 6AA batteries? There are several splices in the cables, i was just thinking I know ac adapters come in various amperage ratings, yet I have no idea of how to create varring amperage ratings in connection with dry cells.

    A 9Volt battery, A Megaphone... and a 2A Fuse

    My problem concerns a car speaker megaphone (think Ice Cream Truck Speaker system (?) Probably intended to run off a car cigerett lighter... (specs say 13.2V 1.5A, and somewhere 10 W is mentioned) but I arranged to run it off a household AC adapter producing 12V... and that worked well for a...

    Slanting yeast

    ba-brewer, thanks. I got it. In the sprit of "One good deed deserves another" I would point out that the author is actually saying in effect, NOT to use starter strength media for propagations. At least that is how I read it. Thanks again.

    Slanting yeast

    I could't find out how much DME/SG they (Maltose Falcons) sugg. for slants & plates, perhaps in my haste I overlooked it?

    Slanting yeast

    Hi everyone; Recently I have been 2nd guessing the strength of my slants & plates.... it seems there is a range of gravities being used, anywhere from 1.002 to 1.040 and so my question is what strength are you using and why, or perhaps better, whose suggestion are you following?

    Brewing toolbox contents

    I have been using my hands to attach and tighten some 2nd hand mash tun coolers I picked up, but was wanting to get the tools for the task. Mostly just for the common 1/2 inch ball locks / bukheads; nothing fancy but I couldn't decide if the job called for cresent wrenches, vise grips some other...
