    California Squarrel square "barrel" 10gal with TC fittings

    yep. but just replying here counts against that so you should probably be ok to send DM now. all you do is right click on someones name and hit "start conversation" and that's it. otherwise you have to hit the little envelope icon on top right by your screen name, and then type in their...

    You might not be able to DM yet with a brand new account. Sometimes you need a minimum number of posts. So they know you aren’t a bot.

    California Squarrel square "barrel" 10gal with TC fittings

    yep. its pretty tight to get them in with the gaskets, and i assume they swell a bit which also helps seal. you can see in pic above how there are stainless bars that lock them in place. check out the website. its a bit heavy on the marketing in some spots but alot of the technical...

    California Squarrel square "barrel" 10gal with TC fittings

    read about it at their website. biggest benefit in our opinion is the flexibility. you can make a barrel of any wood (or liquor) you want. just buy some wood, cut it into shape, and you've got a barrel of anything you can find. cedar, juniper, cherry, apple, etc. can also soak them in booze...

    Fundamental shift in yeast starter preparation?

    i have taken to oxygenating my starters. typically once when i initially set the stir plate in motion to get things working. then a few hours later, later that evening, etc. etc. to make sure any growth will also have access to o2 as well. i dont do counts or anything, but i'd have to...

    Convoluted chiller

    Likely was for either temp gauge or possibly carb stone. Usually temp gauge.

    Glycol chiller inhibited polypropylene question

    I can’t recall but chemworld might also sell the inhibitors to add to your existing glycol stock. Worth looking for it.

    Need help with tips to warm fermentation temp

    Been awhile but got my heating pad from the drugstore a while ago for like $10. It’s plastic so cleans easily. Has high/med/low settings. Will wrap around a corny keg, most of the way around the cone of a conical. Definitely will keep those temps up if you cover it with something to help...

    Unusual Mash Problem

    Have you asked your source for grains if they’ve recently changed their mill or mill settings? If the grist is too fine for flow, it will also block flow to the vast majority of the bag’s surface area. That means overflow.

    Tips / tricks for leaky carbonation cap?

    That was my understanding as well, it wasn’t “needed” per kegland. But my cap it’s definitely not sealing against the tee. I don’t wanna over torque it and bust the tee. So I guess a washer is the only solution. Just have to track one down.

    Tips / tricks for leaky carbonation cap?

    its not the bottle. its the tee threads where the cap screws on. plain as day. i guess maybe go to ace hardware and try and find a washer that fits? not a permanent use so i guess epdm/food safe isnt really that important...

    Tips / tricks for leaky carbonation cap?

    Got a kegland carbonation tee for a little project I’m working on. Used a red plastic carbonation cap also from kegland and it leaks at the threads. Tried taking off and putting back on. Bit O’ keg lube. No luck. Unfortunately the carb cap is old, so can’t return it. Any advice beyond...

    Direct-keg-taps: Nukatap MINI, Nukatap Flow Control, PicnicTap2.1, and PicnicTap OG

    well ****, i didnt even realize those were at morebeer. i would've bought some before they closed their shop down the road. i think i'd rather go with the duotight picnic tap right into the FC connect. seems like it'd be simpler and better connection. the idea of relying on threads to...

    Direct-keg-taps: Nukatap MINI, Nukatap Flow Control, PicnicTap2.1, and PicnicTap OG

    did you have to do anything to it in terms of breaking it down, swapping pieces, etc.? its been so long i honestly dont remember, but i dont think i really messed with it at all. but since the FC doesnt move all the way, im guessing maybe something is out of place, or got swapped/turned...

    i cannot begin to explain how big of a difference there is in our respective experiences with their service. perhaps you can forward these questions to them and see how they respond. or you can make your own and experiment. if i recall it was mac1103 who recently found a 10+ year old thread...
