This is also how I clean my plate chiller. I keep my hops in a boil bag, so no clogging, and no cleaning headaches.

Because "chilled" is relative. Summers here can get 110 plus, during those days I'm lucky to get my wort below 100. I understand plastics can be a personal issue, but I wouldn't put >80 wort through vinyl/pvc. I have been working toward eliminating all plastics from the "hot" (to me >80)...

That is an option. Is there an easy/quick/cheap way to do that?

The FC is slightly elevated. From here, I will siphon straight to kegs. As far as drying the hose, I'm beginning to wonder if I should hoist the middle into a 25' tree. This was supposed to be easier. :/

Just assembled my new fermentation chamber and added enough silicone tubing to pump straight from BK to primary in FC, no more lifting! But one question: Does anyone know how to properly clean and dry 50' of silicone tubing?

Actually, what he said was: "I need you to provide me the specific URL for the last one. It's the only thing I need clarification on." Not trying to steal the prize, but clarification is not confirmation. I'm no lawyer, but it still seems wide open to me.

...or, also technically correct would be a post that uses the words (not phrase) "beer more than six times"

"2. Locate a post that uses the words beer more than six times" Unless it's a typo, the OP asked for the "wordS" "beer more than" six times. Not the "word beer more than six times" Technically, still up for grabs.

i shake for 2 minutes @ 30 psi, no problems.

I don't shop with MW/NB anyway, their prices regularly suck.

I put 2-4oz of whole hops in a hops bag tied to the end of a 2' ss spoon. Otherwise, i found no amount of weight would hold the bag to the bottom of the keg.

Make sure there are holes in the rim, top and bottom, or if not, you make your own, before heating the vessel.

I went with the 15gal stainless steel sankey keg with false bottom for a mash tun as i am not partial to what happens when you mix 150 degree mash with plastic for an hour. Wrapped in a green military foam mat, it only loses 1 degree per hour and allows for 5 or 10 gal batches.

Thanks for the tip! Luckily, that's usually when I break down and clean them. :o

I'm no scientist or lobbyist, but I do like to research stuff and mitigate risk accordingly. The main ingredient in PBW scored even worse: http://www.ewg.org/guides/substances/5615

Oxi-Free supposedly contains "ALCOHOL ETHOXYLATES (C12-15)" which is none too good for you, according to this site: http://www.ewg.org/guides/substances/840

This is a highly informative documentary for any brewer that uses bottled and/or "spring" water. Also a huge eye opener for any consumer of bottled water: http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Tapped/70124097
