I'm brewing eight batches of cider with eight different yeasts. I can make four 5 gallon batches and four 3 gallon batches. Which four yeasts would you honor with a 5 gallon batch?

Totally spitballing here but how about a little electric mulcher / wood chipper like this? Home Depot sells a bunch of them from around $125-200.

A basic RO system is little more than a standard water filter setup (whatever is needed to clean up your local water) with an RO membrane stuck on the end. If you have fairly good city water, a standard filter system can be as simple as a sediment filter plus a high quality carbon block filter...

What's the best way to punch a hole for an airlock grommet in a plastic bucket lid? This is what my grommets look like: I measured the width in the middle area and it's about 12mm or almost 1/2 inch. I know a regular 1/2" drill will leave a mess of a hole. I was thinking a punch like these...

I'm a fan of ULine's buckets. They sell 1, 2, 3.5, 5, 6, and 7 gallon buckets in many colors including natural (no dye). Everything is FDA Compliant. One lid fits all sizes except 1 & 2 gallon. On top of that, they're cheap. Only downside is you have to buy at least five at a time. Oh, and...

Darn. These jokers wasted two weeks of fresh apple cider season for me. Now I need to scramble to find yeasts. I should have searched before posting. This thread showed up in the Similar Threads box below.

I placed an order from Long Island Homebrew twelve days ago. They emailed an order confirmation and charged my card but didn't provide a tracking number or ship date. A few days ago, I used their online form to inquire about my order. No response from that. Today, I tried calling the number...

All you Size Up guys will be happy to hear I ended up with 16 gallon pots. I ran across a great deal on ShopTheBayou when I was shopping. Bayou Classic 1316 Tri-Plys for $97 free shipping. All Tri-Ply's were 35% off plus a 10% new customer discount. 8 and 10 were sold out so I went with 16...

According to day_trippr's experience, it's better to have this than the captive seal version. :cool: There's a lot of weirdness with this regulator. It's model 366M. There isn't a single mention of it on the Taprite website and all google hits are forsale posts / auctions. I believe it's...

Thank you! Definitely a must-try!

I do the same, often to excess. The current supply chain woes have finally redeemed my habit of hoarding double, triple, and quadruple backup parts. :D

I added it as a poll option.

Is there a recommended schedule to replace those fiber gaskets, like maybe on every cylinder change?

I didn't remove anything. Any chance you could post a link or picture showing the part with the allen/hex hole? In the seller's defense, he threw the regulator in for free with the kegerator. He said it was leaking gas. I guess he didn't know about the missing parts either.

I'm rehabbing a 50psi primary regulator I bought secondhand. I want to replace the gauges and piggyback it to another primary regulator so I have 100psi for soda and 50psi for beer. (I have secondary regulators to step those down as needed.) It looks like this regulator was built using blue...

Looks like the kit is only $15 or so. Sounds like a good idea.

I'm in the process of the rehabbing a second hand kegerator. It came with a Taprite 740 series regulator, model 366M. I want to replace the gauges so I was looking over parts on the Taprite website. I noticed the CO2 bottle nipple shown on the website has a washer. My regulator doesn't...

Intertap is the previous version of the Nukatap, right? I was planning on using 4mm EVAbarrier so that's exactly the setup I was going for. Awesome!

Sam Adams Utopias seems impossible for the average small timer homebrewer due to aging in various types of wooden barrels and mixing different years. Apparently, the December 2004 issue of BYO magazine features a few different Samiclaus clones. Someone on another board used 42 pounds of...

Thanks! First beer for the list. It is. Already lost an evening to it. Thanks! I'll add it to my big beer list.
