This thing.

I have no idea what I'm looking at. What is it if you don't mind? Some kind of infuser to avoid oxygen contact?

Was thinking the same thing!! Nice! Shiny! What is it ??? like something on the car in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang !

 

[Teufelhunde]

Dried Lutra Kviek yeast. I only have one mini-fridge to control ferment temps. The Lutra will allow me to brew at room temp as well....

An early Christmas present from a not so Secret Santa! Cheers.

Lactose and water adjustment salts for my chocolate coconut milk stout brew day next weekend

More beers from the 12BoC 2021 Edition and this month's Brew Your Own!

 

[MaxStout]

From Midwest--some grain for an upcoming @Yooper's oatmeal stout. And rolls of various sizes of plastic tubing to replace some that needs replacing. Also, a bunch of Midwest wallet-size bottle openers, as they are selling them for $0.43 for some reason--obviously getting rid of them.

My copy came in today. There's a few good looking recipes in there - Weyerbacher's Tiny, the pre-prohibition lager... and articles.
Looking forward to reading it....

I just signed up for BYO a couple weeks ago (magazine only), so hopefully I'll get the new issue soon.

A Goyard wallet, nothing to do with brewing but it holds the cards that let me pay for brewing things lol.

 

[Cameronl]

Blichmann herms coils are finally back in stock! Just got mine.

Unfortunately, they went up in price. But still a good deal.
Just a few more parts needed, and 240V run to my garage (), and I'll be ready to start brewing on an all-electric 3-vessel system!

 

[WesBrew]

nice! i got one a month or so ago and love it. Big improvement over dropping an immersion coil in the HLT

 

[T Murph]

Looking good there @Cameronl I installed one in my HLT a few months ago.

i'm hoping this will hold 10 psi....but right now i just need tip on how to get bev post off the bulk head so i can get the floating dip in it? or did i just waste $80? but then what would be the point of a bev out bulkhead? lol

What is the diameter at the ledge? With that we can figure out the load on the lid at 10 PSI.

Brew on

i allready pressure tested it. it went up to 10 psi but my gas post is in a badly drilled hole and started leaking...but the opening is 10"


it dropped down to 6psi, then sat there steady for 10 or so minutes, i have the spunding thing i got to go along with it draining the pressure now....

That lid has an area of 78.5 sq in, so at 10 psi will have 785 lb of force pushing up on the lid. It will be exciting if the latches ever give out.

well assuming, , the 3/16" 304 SS clamps are 304 SS good for 840lbs, over 4000lbs breaking strength...and there's three of them so i'd imagine the pressure is distributed?

and all three straps have a folded loop...so like 840 times like a slightly weaker x6?

edit: i'm looking for opposing ideas here, not reassurance....but i'm not worried about the can blowing, because it's made of thicker stainless then a corny keg rated to 80 psi....and, yeah! if my thought of a saftey valve being the lid....i'm hoping that it just leaks out inbetween the clamps...if it gets much more then 10 psi....i'm betting, the lid would bend before the clamps blew....


edit #2: but i really wish it was imposible to pop one accidentaly.....it'd catch but, it'd probably hurt my knuckle and be LOUD!

Dual beer tower, going to be a bit before I can do anything with it since I'm moving though.

 

[bracconiere]

i just want anyone considering a milk can fermenter...i fixed my leaky gas post, and it still will only hold 5psi.

You will figure it out Bracc...we are talking beer here...ingenuity will kick in soon. Don't look for the A-HA ! moment, it will come...hopefully

Three clips around the circumference of the lid may not be enough to keep the lid from bowing slightly between the clips when under too much pressure. Or the clips themselves might have a little elastic deformation that causes a poor seal.

Brew on

This is what it looks like in real life, I haven’t set up the second one to frame the window. The cord for the tall one is about 2” too short for the outlet.

So I’ll have to swirl the trunks with more strings.

If the image offends these neighbors, I’ll sleep happier.

It can take a while. I subscribed 8/30 and my first issue was December, which came in mid-November, 2.5 months after subscribing.
