Dry pear cider.

Hey Mashdar, thank you for the advice and response. I have not used lube. I have just never needed it with my corny keg so I just don't have any on hand but can get some. Will it help with sealing a lid o-ring?

Hey mashdar, no, I cannot discern any warping or machining issues. Yes, this is the standard mega mouth Torpedo lid. I don't know what material he gasket is made of. It is black and came with the keg. I have read others bought a slightly oversized print and that it helped seal their lid at 0...

Hello all, I have received a brand new 10 gallon Torpedo keg as a Christmas gift. The keg came pressurized but when I put liquid with PBW in it to clean it before filling it, it began to leak like crazy. It started when I turned it upside down as it began to form a puddle slowly on the kitchen...

Hey Mike, I grow and press my own apples and have made cider for years. Store bought juice will usually end up like a white wine but if you back sweeten it can sometimes help bring out some of that fruit flavor but may not taste like apples. Cider makers let apples ripen far longer than what we...

Bought the MW102 and love it. Instructions require the use of a cleaning solution before and after use in addition to the standard pH storage solution and calibration solutions. With past probes I had always used the calibration solutions and probe storage solutions but never a cleaning...

Hello all, I have a long thermowell I will use with an Ink bird ITC-308 probe. There is some play between the probe and the thermowell wall and I was looking at thermal paste to help the probe better read the temperature. Because the thermowell is long I am not able to use the applicator that...

This is the video of the vent hood in operation.

Bump again. Unused, very powerful 739 nominal CFM fan and no drip vent hood easily fits over my 20 gallon boil kettle which is about 18 inches in diameter. That is pvc I bent around the lip of the hood. The condensation rolls down and collects in the pvc tube and runs out of a hose barb. I have...

1/2" OD, 304 stainless, 10" diameter, 9.5" tall HERMS coil. Going to a RIMS system and need to get rid of my HERMS coil. It has compression fittings and bulk heads on each end along with 1/2" NPT threads so you can add fittings to it. Reduced price down to $75 and am now reducing it to $60. Oregon

I just discovered this thread after finding the paler online. I have attached it here. I am curious if anyone has tried this since the time of the original post. It looks pretty involved. Ben

Thanks for clarifying Bobby. I was under the impression that it would be insulated due to the o-ring. Sounds like it makes enough contact to ground the kettle. Ben

Thanks you guys. This is good news. I was not wanting to add a free standing wire to my kettle if I didn't have to. I didn't know that when I was deciding between a weldless and solder TC flange. The solder option making it possible to forgo adding a wire to the pot is a selling point for me...

Hello all, I am in the middle of assembling a 240v brew system. I have been reading about grounding the kettle and how people have done it. My understanding is you should test it with a multimeter to be sure there is continuity. I was testing the 5500 watt ripple element today. It is an...

Thank you jseyfert3 for your help. So I need 4 wires coming in and the white would go to the neutral bus inside the stand alone load center in the picture above? I was going to use my dryer outlet which has a 240v 30 amp breaker on it already but is not gfci. There are only 3 wires running to...

I have some Cutler-Hammer breakers made for type BR load center that are 240v 30 amp gfci and want to put them in a spa panel rather than my main breaker box. Most spa panels I see come with a breaker already but I just need the panel and not the breaker. I found this Eaton type BR load center...

I know GFCI BREAKERS can fail but what I want to know is if they can fail in a way that they continue to provide power but without the protection. For my gas system my solenoid is default off in case of a problem and I am wondering if GFCI breakers are similar where if they fail they won't pose...

Hey Rob, I know others lager in bottles but I have always gotten great results with lagering in bulk with no oxidation problems. I make enough beer that when I rack to secondary the only head space is right below the airlock. I purge the carboy with co2 before transfer as well. What I really am...

I just brewed and am fermenting a lager. I plan on lagering in bulk after a diacetyl rest, cold crash and racking to secondary. I have have had to wait quite some time for carbonation to happen when the beer has gone through all these steps and I was wondering if anyone has ever rinsed some...

It doesn't make much sense to me either Cato. I was under the impression that you could adjust the power output during mash. Ben
