    Is it safe to pressure ferment in a Spiedel plastic fermenter?

    This is what 15psi does to a Spiedel plastic fermenter. It was at 15 psi for less than 5 minutes as I figured out the adjustment on the spunding valve required to hit 10 psi, which it's been at for a couple days now. A friend shared this pic with a buddy who works for a micro brewery and he said...

    Brewing Safety

    Brewing is a relatively safe hobby, but there are some aspects that can be hazardous, and these are not always obvious. Not long ago, I started a HomeBrewTalk thread called "Eye-Catching Safety Tips" with some hazards I was aware of. Other posters added some additional items. In this article...

    CO2 Cylinder testing in UK

    so I had a fantastic piece of luck this week. I bid for and won a brand new Corny keg for only £46 - a bargain. Then to double my luck the seller asked me if I wanted a couple of 6kg cylinders for free chucking in. Yes, yes I do I said. So I also got a part filled CO2 keg and a full Nitro...

    Burner head with errant holes, safe?

    Ordered some burner heads for my brew stand build, but when they arrived today, it looks like there was some misalignment when they were drilling out the holes. There's one place where the drilling went clear through, and several other divots where it was partially drilled. My question is one...

    Better Option Than Brew Hauler?

    I've been using the "brew hauler" for about 3 years now. I have several of them. That's the nylon strap wrap-around that helps with carrying full carboys. Well, the buckle on one broke (plastic snapped) with a FULL 5 gallon carboy a few weeks ago. Luckily, I didn't smash any toes or even get...

I was wondering, it is okay to use water heater supply line for the hoses between the keggle > pump and the pump > chiller? I know some types of hoses can cause off flavors/odors, and some are just flat out not okay to...
