I just pulled out last years harvest to dry hop a beer and noticed that the hops had lost their bright green color compared to this years harvest, which I just loaded in the freezer in food saver bags. Last years hops were stored in food saver vacuum bags as well and in a freezer which is...

I have been poking around the food storage websites and mylar, when bought in bulk as mentioned above is a great deal. The major drawback is that mylar bags cannot be evacuated with a standard vacuum sealer. However, I stumbled across these videos: Has anyone tried this before, and was it...

Got any pictures of your setup? I am in the market to insulate my keggle mash tun. thanks, Mike

I think you will find it hard to apply the correct amount of o2 consistently. Most people set the dial to only 2-3 psi when injecting o2... that will be pretty hard to read on this scale.

Indeed, anyone who has the classic style regulator (PSI) and a flow meter that reads in L/m. Could you give us an idea of what PSI correponds to a given flow rate, and be sure to mention whether you have a 0.5 or a 2 um stone. Then we will be able to get into the ballpark pressure without...

Here is a neat little experiment on how O2 injection (and dry yeast rehydration) impacts lag time. YouTube - Dry Yeast Experiment

I too have recently moved to direct oxygen injection with a 0.5 micron stone. I was under the impression that adequate oxygenation is not necessarily linked to short lag times. I thought that the more your oxygenate the wort the longer lag time you will have due to aerobic respiration lasting...

I would be interested. I just harvested my hops and ready for analysis. Are you still planning on doing this? I also am a biochemist and work in a lab... could you send me (PM) your method? I am curious to see if I have enough of the resources and consumables already.

Ok, good thoughts. My pad definitely looks black and mangled when I am done with it... it sounds like i am asking too much of one pad. I will keep all that in mind on the next keg. One down, two to go! cheers!

Did anyone have any problems with the buffing compound sticking to the keg? It mostly occurred as as a sticky black mess in all the uneven corners on the keg. The buffing compound package said that to prevent sticking, warm the metal first... so I let the keg sit in the California sun while at...

I have a 2 inch shank that has a stainless steel collar, the nut for the faucet and the nut to clamp it to the wall. I would be interested in trading it for a 4 inch shank or selling this one for 10 bucks not including shipping. thanks, Mike
