I just read that a refractometer wont read Sg only brix. I could have sworn I have seen them with SG incraments in the aquarium hobby. Anyone know for sure or where is a good deal on one that does read in SG?

@bobby First allow me to introduce myself.... Hello. you personally have helped me far more than you could know:mug: Thank you. Secondly...Come on :cool: I know we have all blown $25 on something WAY less useful than this thing :o Well I think its pretty darn neat, but Im a tool fanatic...

Spanish... I prefer "there are no stupid questions, only stupid mistakes"

+1 on Reelale's post although when new its nice to flow some cleaner through there one way or another just for the factory nasties. I used a pump but a siphon should suffice.

Try taking the pump head off and turn it on just like that for a second to see if the noise is in the body or in the pump housing maybe? I guess it would have to be in the pump housing as its the only moving parts huh? maybe try swaping the pump heads and see if the problem goes with it. In...

those are certainly better than hose clamps, but I just love you you can not tell these are even there. No protrusion whatsoever. Plus these things can be used all over the house on ANY size piping!. And a roll of stainless wire will last forever. I mended some old garden hose with the stuff the...

well I dont know of you are using kettles or keggles, but if thery are keggles you will need to cut vents in the back to allow more heat out the back. The best solution I found on accident. I have mounted on my keggles a ball valve , thermometer, and a sight glass all on the same level on the...

Subscribed. Interesting, Last night I brewed a 10 gallon batch of my house Amber and split it. 5 gallons got Wyeast American ale, and 5 galons got Wyeast British Ale. I Cant wait to further develop my taste buds.

Another reason I like the idea of RO and this opinon is based only on my experience with marine aquariums is that water can only physically hold so much stuff, ex: calcium, magnesium, iodine. etc. So therefor eif you strip the water of this stuff you have a wate rthat is able to absorb what you...

Carbon really doesnt filter anything. It helps whith chlorine, tastes and smells, but RO or RO/DI is the way to go. Of course I have 2 hobbies that "needed" "lab grade water". So That plus great drinking water for my family made it an easy choice.

After sorting the problems with the heat out, I love them though. I almost went with the formentioned jet burners, but ultimately decided against them because they lack the adjustability of the banjos.

I stumbled across a great solution. On accident. Better lucky than good. I made heat plates on the frame under the valves, thermos, etc. And it was still radiating enough heat to kill said devices, meanwhile I was burning off all the engine enamel and toxic somke was filling my garage. So I...

I just finished my new cart and used 2 banjo burners and a smaller one under the mash tun. One thing to note, The banjos are INSANELY HOT! I had to redesign a few things and add some heat plates and a fan blowing accross the plates to dissapate the heat so it wouldnt cook my thermometers. (...

Is it an actual hole, and thats for sure where it leaks? How big?

Honestly I dont know what to call it. Its just a very well designed hand tool , no larger than a medium screwdriver. The tool itself was invented by a local guy selling them, patent pending, so Its something I dont think you can find anywhere yet. But I think We just stumbled across a big hit...

So if you have hose clamps on your quick disconnects and hoses, your probably like me and think "I wish those things were smaller". They are just totally in your way for a nice grab and disconect. So my nieghbor came across this little trick tool that neatly wraps stainless wire and tucks the...

ive tried something similar as I have a saltwater aquarium too and had some lying around.

I used like 3 cans of high heat engine enamel...GONE. LOL. Awww man... what have I gotten myself into.

Wow I need to proof read. LOL.

strat. yeah i can tone it that far down, and like you there isnt NEARLY as much control in the valve as I was hoping. Much past a turn or 2 its pretty much full flame. What valves are you using and where did you get them. Hooking up the propane was EASY the biggest pain of the build. Nobody...
