I use the 1/4" home improvement store hose but recently ran into some issues see below. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/vinyl-tubing-oily-489152/

It's funny cause I have two lines that are good and and only the third line is bad. Does the white waterline fit over a hose barb?

No starsan. Doesn't seem to affect the beer yet but I am still a bit skeptical.

I have been using 1/4" vinyl tubing from the hardware store for gas line. The last length I got has developed a white residue and feels kind of oily. It seems to come out when the tubing gets cold in the fridge. Anyone know why this is happening or how to get rid of it? The previous line I have...

I used curtain tension rods. No drilling. Other wise the side is probably safer spot to drill.

Here is better picture. Think it changed sides and is a male plant now?

They grew crazy fast this year. I have just been putting some Alaska fish fertilizer on them every couple of weeks. Maybe they will fill out once it gets burs like your did.

Last year I didn't harvest cones until the end of August but the plants seemed to be ahead of schedule this year. This plant just doesn't look right. Last year the laterals had plenty of leaves.

My nugget hops look funny this year. It may be hard to see in this picture but the runners have very few leaves and no burs yet. Usually where the leaves grow on the runners there are two leaves this plant has only one. My centennial plant has some big juicy cones already and plenty of leaves...

If you have room between the doors use an angle with a short leg (1/2") on top of the fridge door and bottom of the freezer door then there is no problem with the seals.Of course the angle on the fridge door goes just in front of the angle on freezer door.

Some refrigerators have a hole on the door opposite side the hinge with a cap. This is so you can reverse the hinge and have the right hand or left open. Just put a short piece of threaded rod in the hole to pin the door together.

I've never experienced the peach flavor and have fermented as low as 58. If your temp was higher for the first couple of days I still think it will be ok.

I don't think you will see any off flavors from a low temp. The yeast may have slowed down or stalled but should start again if it's warmed a little bit. I Use S-05 in the low 60's all the time.

Just watched this video he did an extract brew but used sap for all his water. http://youtu.be/YXeTAbb10rE

Are you moving to partial mash? partial mash=grains with extract BIAB is all-grain.

:rolleyes:

If you pitch viable yeast and use the loose cap you should be pushing CO2 out of the container and nothing should be able to get in. You could also cut disk out of a bucket lid the same size as the blue part drill it an use an airlock.

Loose cap instead of an airlock isn't earth shattering. Point is leave the cap loose relax and have a homebrew it will be fine. Google coolship if your interested in truly open fermentation. I am not that paranoid and plan on doing an open fermentation of my Troegs Dreamweaver clone this spring.

Pretty sure the guys on brewing tv have done open fermentation in their basement and all was fine. In Belgium they leave the windows open to let the yeast blow in. Check out Cantillon brewery. The cap will help it's not open.

It will be fine. A lot of breweries do open fermentation. http://youtu.be/xClXKMhcFr0
