What about Final Sacrifice? :rockin:

What were you expecting...that's how it was marketed. I watched ZARDOZ...bad and definitely MST3K-able, but I made it through. Thankskilling on the other hand was too much for me. :ban:

Check out Seibel Institute. I believe they have some web based classes available.

I understand wanting full flow to reduce overall system head loss to friction...however...don't we usually just choke down flow with the valve anyway? On the MLT during sparge or when running a pump I never hear of people cranking things wide open, so isn't the full flow concern everyone seems...

Check out Brewtarget. Its open source (free) and is pretty full featured. There is a thread about it on HBT as well. Just search it.

When it comes to intellectual property, you have to be careful. In order to own a technology, for example, you patent it, which puts a LOT of info into the public domain. Recipes such as a Coca-Cola, are kept as trade secrets and are not disclosed. Sure they could publish it, and own it, but...

Any luck with the high psi and shake test? You could also test for a reeeeal slow leak by hooking up only the keg in question (empty), hitting it with your 12 psi (not more as this might seal it when it leaks at low psi), and then closing off the regulator. The gauge will still read the...

That sounds ok...Have you tried just changing the kegs around to be fed with different CO2 lines and pour from different faucets? If so, you can isolate the keg itself versus any system design.

I'd use vodka...

Here's another question for both of you. How are you serving the beer? How long are the beer serving lines on each keg? Are they regular or picnic taps? What height difference is there between tap and keg. If there is a big difference there may be a line balancing problem.

Ok, you have to use the scientific method and some leg work on this one. pressure will distribute evenly throughout the system, so I can't imagine its a leak or all 3 would have the same issue. However, let's try to isolate the problem. 1) remove the two good tanks...the locks should close...

Let's take this one at a time... 1) In general, for beer stored at 38F, you are going to want the pressure set around 12-13 psi. The tables that people are referencing can get you even more control. 2) I would recommend waiting at least 12 hours (preferably 24) before serving after doing...

I second bullinachinashop...if your are looking at energy reduction, you don't HAVE to go all the way to zero boil. Although it appears there may be other benefits to doing so. Definitely keep a short boil in your back pocket as I guarantee you can generate some mad energy savings through a...

::stepping on soapbox:: The big issue with water usage is that the available sources of clean fresh water are being depleted faster than nature can recharge them. It takes a long time for water to percolate through the ground back into an aquifer for instance. The issue isn't the water...

Come to think of it, the beer we make and consume can cause liver failure, drunken mishaps, alcohol poisoning, and bad decisions that lead to STD's...perhaps we should be more concerned about the product impacts than the possibility that we might add to the massive amounts of horrible chemicals...

Check out this thread of a beer I did way too fast for a party. Lots of naysayers, but it worked in the end! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/6-day-beer-attempt-191411/

I am looking to do a very similar design to the one you describe. Its not a new concept. You may lose a few points of efficiency, but you should look at running your sparge in a manner similar to the Brutus 20 setup (do a quick search, there are tons). While many of those builds are...

Has anyone performed any sort of scientific data collection on this? It would be great if we could calculate the resistance in feet of tubing similar to calculating piping system head loss in equivalent feet. I'm guessing the best way to do this would be to use the same exact system with and...

Gila - Thanks for the information! I think my biggest concern right now is knowing what things to check on before I make a jump so I have all the permits, licenses, insurance, LABELING, etc buttoned up. Revvy - I'm horrible with names!! That will be a big challenge for me as I begin to...

I've been investigating a business opportunity in draft line cleaning and I'm looking to find someone who has done well in the business to talk to. Anyone out there have any experience in this line of work?
