To each his own! I think the Standing Order in Edinburgh is beautiful. It was formerly a bank I believe?

Weatherspoons is pretty good for a beer and meal if you are on a budget.

Disconnect it from the tank and see what it reads.

I believe the sauna at my gym maxes out at 185F. I can usually stay in at that temp for 15 minutes, but sometimes not. I can’t imagine 212F! How do you keep from fainting?

I love getting in the sauna at my gym after workout. It is just a basic electric element heater with the rocks on top. My question is what are your temperature preferences and time spent in the sauna? I think I’ll sneak a beer in sometime - great idea!

Another vote for Jaded Hydra. It really is pretty awesome.

“Didn't notice at the time that the tap didn't quite close all of the way when I was done.” Just curious what brand/type of tap was it?

Well good luck on your project. It sounds like it will be a great addition to your tavern. Please keep us updated on your progress with pictures.

Re: Perlicks, I understand that isn’t much of a price difference. I don’t know what series Perlicks I have, but I think they are an older model. I’ll tell you, the other day I broke them down and cleaned them and forgot how finicky they are. I had to fiddle around with with them to get them to...

Many, many years ago I worked for an AB distributor and one of my responsibilities was draft accounts. I actually converted an old milk truck into a portable draft serving unit for festivals. It had 6 taps and we could run 6 kegs in series on each tap. I also had to rehab a smaller standalone...

Thanks all!

Yes, the type that store bought juice comes in. Don’t go to a lot of trouble, I can dig up my calipers and figure out the best size. From measuring with a tape it is kind of on the borderline between the 7.5 and 8 stopper.

Thank you Maylar. I can confirm that neither a 6 or 6.5 is large enough as I have those sizes. Regards,

Hello, I was thinking of using leftover gallon jugs for secondary fermentation - bad idea? I am just starting hard cider making and have some Musselman’s empty 1 gallon plastic jugs. It appears that a 7.5 or 8 stopper may fit, but was wondering if anyone has practical experience using these...

Interesting the differences in final gravity using SO4. Perhaps I should have started another thread. I will post my results when available. Thanks to all for contributing!

Thanks Blacksmith1 and CKuhns, I am planning on using yeast nutrient and can control fermentation temps. Have brewed lots of beer, but this I’ll be my first try at cider. The reason I chose SO4 was from reading it will not ferment completely dry.

Thanks all, as an aside, what is your preferred fermentation temperature schedule for SO4 and why?

That would be extremely beneficial information.

Gotcha - thanks!
