I'm trying to order some of the larger washers from Seastrom. Their web cart is broken. It looks like they had some custom shopping cart software written, I bet they are regretting that decision =P

Hearing this from someone else makes it sink in more... maybe it would be more practical to have another port welded in on the side where I could use something less ridiculous. My ultimate goal is to convert this to a peltier setup though -- I'd have to be careful about how I did that.

Thanks, guys. Bobby, I emailed you a while back asking about this ;) Never heard back. Anyway, I looking for a thermowell to reach down into a tall conical. The conical has a 1.5" TC port on top and I planned to use a 1/2" NPT tee on top of that where the thermowell would enter through the...

I'm looking for a custom thermowell. I'd like it to have 1/2" NPT threads and the length of the well needs to be ridiculous... something like 28" or so. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Walter. The newest pump box actually has no separating wall -- I suspected that was causing problems, so I wanted to avoid that this time around. No, I never messed with the pump bracket. After playing with it a lot, I found that there's a good bit of play in the...

The feedback so far seems quite disproportionately from non-problem drinkers. In my experience, most homebrewers fall far closer to the gray area... I'd like to hear more from that group. I, for one, certainly fall more in that area. I try to be very conscious of my temptations and lack of...

I've had a couple march pumps for many years now and they've increasingly been unreliable. They symptom they exhibit is that they will start making a low rattling sound shortly before they turn into an alarming high pitched squeal, at which point they stop pumping. I noticed last night that...

Thanks, I've seen a couple of those. Interesting suggestion to add 1 PSI for every 2000 ft in elevation... here in Colorado Springs, I'm a bit over 6000 ft. I suppose I can play with the carbonation and PSI in an attempt to see if I can find a combination that works with my hose. That could...

I recently decided to rebuild all my keezer serving equipment (beer lines, co2 lines, regulators... pretty much everything). I decided to give BevSeal 3/16" beer line a try. I ended up making things a lot worse than they were... I've read that people like anything from about 6' up to about...

I've accumulated a few different variations of camlocks over the years, and unfortunately some are more difficult to lock than others. After some experimenting, the o-ring seems to be the cause.. So I figure my obvious solutions are (1) use a slightly smaller/thinner o-ring, or (2) use a...

I imagine you'd be fine either way... but if it's doing fine as it is, I might let it sit. That beer is actually still in the barrel! It has some vanilla notes for sure, but doesn't seem overly oaky. I've been meaning to brew a replacement for it for a while now...

I've had some more experience with barrel aged sours since starting this thread. What exactly are you interested in? I'd say in general moving to barrel should wait at least a week or two after primary to make sure the yeast do their thing and clean up, but I doubt you'll really screw anything...

I don't want to just let it rust... that's the whole point of this thread. Even if it were a purely aesthetic problem, I still want to prevent it.

I'm putting together my electric brewery. I've been using my HLT extensively for sous-vide while I finish up the enclosure and software. I've noticed a lot of rust, and since sometimes I leave water in the kettle for a long time with sous vide (did some pork green chile for 40 hours recently)...

I've got a spare room in the basement, about 8' x 15' x 8'. I'm thinking about getting a cheap window unit and temp controller to keep the room at a suitable temp for storing beer. Obviously, it's a pretty big room to be keeping cold, so I want to keep it as cold as I need and no colder. I live...

I've got a bit of a dumb question... should I store my corked mead bottles on their side like I would a wine bottle?

Goodfriend is awesome. My brother owns the coffee shop that's next door and they make some incredible coffee. I think they were awarded best coffee in Dallas from the Dallas Observer recently. /end shameless plug :) The Flying Saucer is also awesome, it's one of the few places I miss from...

Thanks. That website is pretty old school (to use nice words...)

I've made some wine before and it turned out alright. I want to give it another shot with fresh grapes this time. Of course, they are expensive, so I want to do a good job. I'm an experienced homebrewer with over a hundred batches brewed. I'm hoping someone can point me to some resources that...

This sounds like you turn the flame out, whirlpool for 30 minutes (with your aroma hops) and then chill. Am I interpreting that correctly?
