I don't store the acid indoors. Maybe if the Zinc or galvanized(?) coating had an effect it was that it made the hydrochloric acid fume excessively, (to release HCL vapor) sort of to a boil. Under the coating was steel. There was also a "cold" front moving in as I was doing this so the...

Just a post of caution, not that this is likely to happen to the average homebrewer... Last year I had a wood shed built which holds my brewing and woodworking equipment. The last week of December I needed to remove what was either a zinc or galvanized coating from 4 small brackets so they...

And don't worry, it doesn't help. Have fun, learn, enjoy!

That's not exactly true, probably more so for LME than DME. If every batch of extract were the same it would be, but the unfortunate truth is barrel to barrel of extract doesn't have what the sugar content the producers actually claim. Homebrew stores that don't go through tons of extract may...

Yes, bringing the yeast up to temperature would have been helpful but not all is lost. First, use your hydrometer to compare the original gravity to the current gravity. If there is no change stir vigorously to introduce oxygen and see about getting more yeast today if you have a homebrew store...

BBBF, I found something at a garage sale which might work for your application. A shower head hose. They usually have a chrome or stainless jacket, designed not to kink. I would imagine the best are not designed to handle 140 F (that's what commercial pre-rinse lines are rated at), but they...

Found a pre-rinse base on eBay. After I confirm it has 3/8" pipe outlet will be able to put something together or just buy the "add a faucet" option then put something on the top for washing kettles and fermenters. Have't had much luck finding a compact faucet for filtered water with GHT...

The original question, changing the words a little - "restarting a stuck fermentation". Definitely better than doing nothing. Adding more yeast, good. See above post and read a little on rehydrating (consider "go-ferm"). There is nothing wrong with adding 2-3 packets of dry yeast to a...

I'm just about to attach this to the wall and seal it in place. Problem is I don't have a pre-rinse which is required to clean out kettles. Those faucets are heavier and much more expensive utilizing a 3/8" NPT fitting in the center of the faucet instead of a light duty swivel type connection...

T square only comes with the complete deal, lift gate truck white glove delivery. but obviously everything is negotiable, which half of the t-square? cut lengthwise with a plasma torch supplied by customer? I suppose you wanted the now empty can of Resin as well? Director's chair not...

This has been in service for 11 years as my main keggerator. It is not going to win a beauty contest but has been cleaned. Nothing wrong with it as far as function goes. The drilled holes for the shanks are parallel on the outside :D I can drill more if needed. The beer storage is...

Thanks for the the suggestions, will give it a try!

WOW! not made anymore... OK, as a geek who used to calculate his carbonation levels with gas pressure, temperature, and line length for proper foam pour rates does it make any difference... ok, breath... :p real world... We can keep the Micromatic dispensing course book for commercial...

Ok, been out of the business for a few years now. Not so good at sourcing parts anymore. I can't find it locally and . Who sells micromatic 3/16 beer line with fair rates on shipping? Not a big order, I need 20', might buy 50' just so I don't have to repeat this search next year. I'm just a...

Sign up please! Who's going to be the first to bring a conical to market with a submersible cooling plate and chiller :)

I have a bag of flaked rye from Grain Millers Inc out of Oregon. I would estimate it to be about 50% more dense than Briess. Smaller flakes, heavier. Up to now, the only brand of flaked grains I've used is Briess. The increased density has me wondering how it's going to act when wet. Best...

No great ideas here but going from a 5 gallon keg to a 7 gallon keg would allow for a little error. http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/regulators/detectors/fob_Foam_Detector.shtml is the best price I have found. $10 off coupon popped up when I visited the page - so $51.95 makes it...

Looking to transfer from keg to keg pushing beer through a 2" diameter stainless tube packed with hops. This would be done at a very slow speed, several hours to transfer 5 gallons to either another 5 gallon keg or a 7 gallon keg. The problem is of course that I would have to sit there and...

I was shopping for a foam stopper for a flask used to make yeast starters and noticed various companies are stating it is safe to autoclave the foam stoppers. They will survive autoclaving, and it is an excellent way of sterilizing them - but... Many years ago one of the science supply houses...

Like I said, she has a reputation, that's why I laughed when I read the title of the thread. I know a business that bought one of their bottling systems, he was left with a bitter taste of their customer service - his opinion on letting me pick up a part there was "I will make you cut the piece...
