Wow. The Rays are an amazing team, even more-so learning that. The Blue Jays Experience. $20 Parking $56 Ticket along the foul line ($80+ closer to the infield) $10.25 Tall-Boy of crap beer $12+ for anything food related $5 Peanuts No outside food allowed - Inspection upon entering the...

Let's go Blue Jays! Let's get better beer in the Roger's Centre! Last year a tall-boy was $10.25. Your choice of Budweiser, Keith's and I think Coors (never drank that). $10.25... This year its probably more... Someone please help us up here...

I've used this stuff for wine a while back. It is really really sweet, so watch what you are doing if you use it. +1 for not caring for its taste. I regretted putting it in my wine. I would just cold crash it and keep it cold once its in the keg. If your storing it, perhaps a campden tablet?

Now that! Is awesome!

I use to... Throw hop pellets directly in my boil. Connect my counterflow chiller to the kettle valve with a bazooka screen. This equaled swearing, burnt flesh, frustration, 30 minutes of trickle draining, constantly scraping the bazooka screen and holding the brew pot above my head to increase...

I don't have the same type of setup as you do but I can feel your frustration. Its a tough road sometimes.. but you will get it all sorted out in the end. Some of the things that I do to help prevent a stuck mash (I've been there too. Who hasn't?) 1. Use some rice hulls. I sprinkle the...

I found a picture of something similar to your granite handles in wood. It looks quite uniform - not sure that I ultimately like it though (don't know why). But I would assume the granite would look similar. I think you would have to get use to pouring beer by grabbing the top of the handle...

How about setting up an LED flat screen behind the taps. Run it to a computer where you can run a slide show of the different beers on tap (say.. 8 scrolling screens). Each screen will show information about the beer and perhaps a picture of the tap handle that leads to the beer being...

kellzey....shhh.... TrainSafe, The reason I made that comment is because it is just easier to throw a fan up and a hole in the wall. I'm always a proponent of keeping things simple, and simple usually is best. However, in my case I had no choice. The system I built is rather 'simple' in my...

Yep, like Lucky_Chicken said, you can orientate this system anyway you want since your are forcing air/steam through an Open System. Unfortunately klyph, I think that the setup that you mentioned is a Closed System. A closed system like this would require a higher pressure within the piping to...

:o Yes. The pursuit of 'saving money' and 'diy' turns into a whole mess of odd components that cost a kings ransom.

Hmmm, $40~50.. The monks at Saint Sixtus won't be pleased that someone is selling their beer for profit. I wonder if you will be cursed? I have a few 12s and 8s that I got from a trip 2 years ago and have one every now and then. They definitely mellow out some, but in all reality its not any...

9 ft ceilings. But vertical height is definitely not necessary for this, you could have the unit sitting on the floor if you wish. I only mounted my unit to the ceiling because I have no space in my tiny brew area since the water heater is in the way. Also, the ceiling provided me with a good...

Thanks guys! I didn't have a choice - I had to knock down all the steam vapor or I would be forced to brew outside. I like inside.

So, does it work? I ran a 4 gallon pot of water at a vigorous boil for 30 minutes and took these readings. Right above the pot and below the range hood: 42.9C (109.2F) At the outlet of the system: 23.7C (74.6F) I then went ahead and made a 5 gallon batch of a very simple pale ale. I ran a...

This picture shows the pump feed line into the Stage 2 Heat Exchanger. I used a quick attachment because I hate screwing/unscrewing traditional garden hose attachments. This is a picture of my pump in the laundry sink. Its a 600GPH pump from home depot. It is adequate for the job in my...

Next I PVC cemented the Stage 1 and Stage 2 elements together with the connecting PVC pipe. I lifted it into place and secured it in place with 5" diameter hose clamps that I had screwed into the ceiling beams (or floor beams if you prefer).. This picture shows the connection of the range hood...

Here is the almost completed Stage 2 assembly. At the bottom of the picture you can see the copper pipes/couplers sticking out of the drill pattern cap. There is now silicone adhesive around each copper pipe to create a water seal (does not have to be perfect for this application). You can...

Next was the Stage 2 - Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger. This stage knocks down the remaining steam vapor and cools the air. This stage took longer to build than Stage 1. Stage 1 was very simple. The internals of the steam condenser are made up of 12 x 4 foot lengths of 1/2" copper pipe ($13...
