    Office chairs - big and tall?

    I am hoping for recommendations on good but not horrificly expensive big and tall office chairs. I had a high backed cloth one from Staples for close to 23 years that was amazingly comfortable, and when it finally disintegrated, I spent about 300 bucks Canadian on a mesh office chair. It is...

    How old is your Star San?

    I had a bottle of StarSan that was several years old, not sure how many. It turned light brown-ish and smelled like fish.

    Best mead you've made?

    The Costco honey is a consistently good option. The best one I did was that with Lalvin 71b to about 12% abv, with juice and zest of lemon, lime, and grapefruit. As a still mead. It was beautiful. The absolute worst, by far was with allegedly ultra premium local "wildflower" honey which had a...

    Electric Jockey Box?

    I'm about to haul another large, heavy, & dead keezer out of the basement.. sigh. Has anyone tried making an electric jockey box, essentially a tiny fridge with a cold plate? Did it work ok? I need something compact and cheap as a stop gap measure for now.

    How to prep PET caps for bottling?

    Answering my own question, lol. It seems modern caps don't have the membrane as a separate part anymore. Looks like it is fused right to the cap, so that makes things easy.

    How to prep PET caps for bottling?

    It has been a LONG time since my bottling days. Plz remind me if the PET caps (new) need to have the membrane (blue part) removed for sanitizing or if caps can be immersed as-is. Thx.

    Keezer Dying?

    Well, it went down to 50° then back up to 54. Compressor running all the time. I have just unplugged it again and will have to delay any fix attempts til next weekend. Bummer.

    Keezer Dying?

    Trying interventions from least to most involved. Unplugged for approx 15 hrs. It reads 54.5° now. Compressor has kicked on and is quieter than before, not sure what that means. Will check to see if temp drops later today.

    Keezer Dying?

    Thanks for the reply. It is a Frigidaire 8.7 cu. ft, from Costco, only 2.5 years old. I think it is manual defrost. I think this is the current model here: https://www.costco.ca/frigidaire-38-in.-8.7-cu-ft.-white-chest-freezer-with-removable-basket.product.100687655.html
