    Super astringent stout needs a fixin

    Made 10G of of an oatmeal stout. Made a few mistakes. Crush might have been a little fine. Sparge water was on higher end at 185 for fly sparging, but two extra gallons of sparge raised the bed probably more than it should have been. Net result is I think is 10G of currently very non...

    ebay aquarium temp controller build

    Is there any way to put DC LEDs on the other side of the relay. I am not really current in my EE powers, but I am thinking 2 individual LEDS, or maybe one bi-color LED.

    ebay aquarium temp controller build

    Anyone mount this to their keezer with the display exposed in the collar? If you put in the back corner one side of the 90 could be the display and the other side could be the outlets. For the display in the front of the keezer, you could do the same as above and just run a long extension...

    Flash boiler project #2

    The experimenting with stream was surprisingly loud. I am questioning my burner now, or rather stand now. I have this this cooker stand vs this classic stand: Never noticed the difference before until youtubing some videos tonight. Might be a good ebay purchase gone bad. I am...

    Flash boiler project #2

    Tested it out today. Can raise water 100 degree F (60 to 160) at a rate of 4:15 per gallon. Pretty hard to adjust. Tried using steam to heat water in the MLT and did it not hold much merit. My burner is a bayou banjo burner, so I have allot of small even blue flames. I lowered and expanded...

    Flash boiler project #2

    Went to hardware store to buy stuff. Could not figure out how to do 1/4 tubing to 1/2 pipe. Started looking at adapters and elbows and the cost started adding up. Punted the 4 1/2" copper pipes n the center. Bought 20ft 1/4 OD tubbing for like $9, 1/4" to 1/4" for $3, and 1/4 to garden...

    Guinness keg disassembly?

    On my miller kegs i popped out the ball valve with a screw driver. Then I put some electrical conduit in the stem. Then I went nuts rotating the conduit around in every direction. Eventually the spring or plastic on the safety clasp broke. After this happened you need to tilt the keg in a...

    DIY Interwoven "Rib-Cage" Immersion Chiller

    Made one today out of 50 ft of 1/2" refrigeration tubing. Hardest part was unrolling 25ft of coil to find the center. Need to get some hose fittings and its done. Thanks for the idea and now I have the coolest IC on the block.

    Flash boiler project #2

    I converted my 3" coil into spiral by extending each individaul coil outward. Before inserting the spiral into stove pipe, things looked really good for over lapping. However after inserting the spiral into the store pipe there became a definate pattern such the 2" in the the center of the...

    Yeast Washing Illustrated

    I did a yeast wash with two bottling buckets instead of a big jar. I think it might have worked better than the big jar because the heaver yeast concentrations seem to be at the spigot level for at least my slurry. Since I was already bottling at the time, I already needed the sanitizer so...

    Lowe's Copper Coil on clearance

    I purchased 50' of 1/2" refrigeration copper for $38 at lowes. I thought I got a good deal at Mendards for 1/4" x 60 for $46 so I checked lowes while buying other stuff and jumped on this when I saw the price. This is in Chicago. Note there was no clearance or other special markings on the...

    Flash boiler project #2

    Just repurposed my 3/8" x 50' wort chiller to a 3" coil. Compressed its about 12.5" and relaxed its 14". On a side note I returned the copper, down graded to refridgeration grade, swithced stores, and upgraded the diameter. 1/2" x 50' for $38 at lowes. Also return the rain cap for an elbow...

    Flash boiler project #2

    I am only makig this to heat the HLT. My rig is set up for cooler based batch fly sparging. The chiller worted well for 5 gallon batches, but for 10 gallons its not doing to well. So a am leaning to re purposing the chiller and making a new one.
