Is it your fence or their fence. If it's yours, paint their side of it hot pink.

Wow. I paid $77 for that from a different supplier (friesen electronics). Good find.

OK, so I know that no one is going to believe me since it's page 3 of this thread and no one else has mentioned it yet... but... People always say to eat pasta and breads and stuff before a night of drinking. That's totally wrong. Eat only protein. If you eat a big hunk of meat before...

For ease of storage, how about a pull out shelf. Mine is at the exact height of a 5 gallon paint bucket, so when I pull it out it rests on the bucket and (almost) creates a seal. I mill in my living room (yikes!!!) and get very little to no dust from the milling process, just from dumping the...

I think they will drop yeast after most of fermentation and then 'cap the fermenter' to the full 15 PSI and partially capture as much pressure as possible during the very end of fermentation and diacetyl rest before charging in the brite tank (or the unitank). I think you wouldn't want the...

I don't have issues with cold break (well the proteins and such). I have hop pellet matter issues. Cold break in the fermenter is supposed to be good for the yeast and I've hear excessive filtering of it actually makes fermentation suffer (making the beer lack luster) because there are no...

That's why I put the return line (loc-line) under the wort level and not splashing into it. But I have seen videos of breweries that pump and splash hot wort into fermenters (cool ships) with no concern for hot side aeration (HSA) - which is what I think you're really talking about. DMS will...

Good luck my friend. You are in for a bag of hurt regarding filtering. Completely insane if you don't use a hop spider/paint strainer or something like that. Now I am using biodiesel filter bags (same thing really) that give me a micron rating. I've got a 400 and a 250 micron. I think paint...

I give mine a kiss and tell her she is absolutely the most ravishing tun I've ever mashed in. That warms her up nice.

OK cool. That's why I never bought one. Was waiting to hear that. Thx.

As an alternative to Vittle Vaults, I've been wanting to try these. They're called Buddeez Bag-In Pet Food Dispensers and this one is 60 gallon. Sunken wheels on the back. Complete with scoop. Haven't found them anywhere that shipping isn't 50% of the unit price.

At least 60+ in-Lb torque at whatever your speed, but 175 RPM is a sweet spot. Mine is a 1725 RPM 1/3 HP that gives me 100 in-Lb torque at 172 RPM with aid of a 10:1 ratio gearbox (reducer). This is an easy motor to find on ebay. So, I'd not go any less than 1/4 HP, to directly answer your...

I do it a little different. First I put the heat gun on low. Then use a philipshead screwdriver and ream it into the hose while holding them both just above the heat gun heating just enough of the tubing to allow the reaming. The screwdriver getting hot also helps with this. Heating too much...

+1 times 26. That's about how many barbs I've done this way. Only one leaked and I re-did it. My multiplier ended up being about 1.1. So as per that, here are my lengths for my 7.2 cu ft freezer (not too much rise or distance): 6 PSI - 7' 7 PSI - 8' 8 PSI - 9' 9 PSI - 10' 10 PSI - 11' 11 PSI...

Kick but man. I like it. I've never been given the reason for the pressure filled gauge. McMaster states that they are better for vibration, so mounted on an engine or what not I get it. Originally I expected it had to do with going down to freezing temps, but that's not the case. {I was...

By dry hopping when primary has just a tad left to go. The fermentation will consume the oxygen. A typical dry hop regiment for me is to ferment at like 3 or 4 PSI (just so I can take gravity samples easily), then pop the cap to dry hop, then close up the spunding valve to capture the...

Actually that's a benefit. It's the other way around. Would you rather have a loose bag that you can throw in with your fittings in a shallow solution of PBW at the end of brew day, or some big unwieldy stainless mechanism (be it a stainless hop spider or an in line filter) that is one more...

Hehe... not much to say except that you're not the only one. It happens to every guy once in a while..:) I use a stainless whisk and keep it in the bag to weigh it down, which you are pretty much doing. Maybe put something else in there. The object being to make your bag pointy and not flat...

I use the spunding valve to fill 3 cornies at once in tandem. I prefer this to what I see folks doing with kegs in series because when I'm done I have the same headroom in each keg (a half gallon or so) that leaves ample room for boost carbonating and also won't gunk up my gas disconnects and...

No I haven't. I can imagine that if these units happen to hit the temp you want them to hit, they would be pretty good at maintaining temps, but I think for larger volumes, there isn't much comparison to an immersed element especially from a cost standpoint. I would really like to try an...
