    15 Gallon Fermenter Table Build

    any reason you couldn't figure up a screw on tube to the bottom for filling kegs? have it attach like your yeast catcher, but fill a keg from the bottom? Slip it in the keg, slide the keg under, screw on tube, open valve, fill keg? I'd draw something up of what i'm envisioning, but I don't...

    clarification regarding removing labels with oxyclean

    I just yesterday dumped a tub of solution that I've been sitting on and using for about a month now. I just started cleaning the labels off of a bunch of old bottles I'd had sitting at my folks' place for a while, had well over a hundred to do, so I filled a tote with 10 gallons of HOT water...

    Equipment upgrade!!!!

    Wow, wish I had that budget for upgrades.... were it me, since you brought up carboys, pick up these instead: amazon carboy $28.07/ea shipped... not the fastest shipping, but I mean, at that price, can't beat it. My first one came last week, and my second got shipped out fast, I'm...

    Paintball CO2 froze, blew out...

    I'll be honest, I don't know too much about paintball type CO2 tanks, but I'd say take it to your local paintball shop. Worst comes to worst, you pick up another tank (maybe just one to be safe, or have a spare) That size tank, IIRC, is rather cheap, and those guys would have a lot more...

    First shot by myself - ADVICE! (May have messed up BAD)

    RDWHAHB. You're overthinking and over-stressing. Give it time to do it's thing, it'll be fine! If there's anything you'll learn from reading around here, it's to not worry so much!
