Received a stout spout and a ball lock spout for my Intertaps

 

[rushpapers]

Stainless inline strainer with 1.5 tri clamps and clover barb adapters.

 

[Dr_Jeff]

A gargoyle tap handle.

 

[OakIslandBrewery]

A gargoyle tap handle . . . that sounds super cool!

 

[DuncB]

Always wondered how you tapped and handled a gargoyle.
No need for me as we have a pet dog and she's good with a pat and a lead.

Got two more Clear Beer Draught System floating dip tubes, to go with my two new kegs that I just bought. Now all ten of my kegs have floating dip tubes!

Used Ball Lock Corny 4 pack from Adventures in Homebrewing.
Initial inspection; all were pressurized, minimal dents and only a couple labels for the 4 pack.
This purchase's a WIN! Got to return 3 kegs to brew buddy that NEEDS to keg.
These kegs will put me at 12 kegs including a sanke sixtel.
Life's Good

Ive gotten 5 used kegs from AIH and all have been in good shape, but pressurized! Surprised they’re allowed to ship like that.

Faucet to quick disconnect so I can use a real tap rather than the cheap plastic tap on the 3 gallon keg when going to family BBQ'S when and if it ever gets safe to do so this summer. Wife is FuFu haughty so that makes me have to keep up with the Jones's and appearances so I don't look like the pagan peasant Cossack that I am.

Wife: They are finding high levels of PFAs in the ground around dumps in town.
me: that's not good...
couple hours later
Me: I found a solution for our "drinking water"

RO system with a 10.7 gallon tank for our "drinking water" from airwaterice and tds meter arrived yesterday does that count?

 

[DuncB]

What's the role of the TDS meter please?

 

[3 Dawg Night]

A gently-used Jaded Hydra, via @Alfi0s!

 

[gello22]

What's the role of the TDS meter please?

It lets me know when it is time to change the filter. Suppose it is a little silly when it is new other than I know it is working. My water out of the fridge filter has a total dissolved solids of around 250ppm with a working ro system should be close to 0.

 

[seanjwalker1]

What's the role of the TDS meter please?

Total Dissolved Solids. Basically checking the water quality.

 

[DuncB]

What are the solids likely to be? Might have to use your angle to get the RO but pretty happy with the water quality here, although some parts of NZ have had problems. Trouble is you only find out after the event, lead in the water, and infections.

 

[jcav]

Nice! Is it easy enough to disable the audible temperature alarm?

Sorry I just saw this. The alarm goes on because when the controller turns on the freezer it is above 20 degrees. You can hit a button and turn it off, if you are in the garage at the time. I have my freezer set to 32 degrees and when it hits 34 it goes on to cool it back down. It doesn't take that long to cool it down as it is pretty efficient ( I have the probe insulated and taped to a full keg). I can't hear the alarm inside my house so it does not bother me. If I am in the garage working on something I can just hit the button and turn off the alarm. I am searching out a way to bypass the alarm as it would be nice to disable it. If you have the freezer inside a room in your house you would have to bypass it as it would drive you crazy. It is a great freezer otherwise. If I find a way to do this I will post back. Anyone know how let me know!

Nice work, you’ll love having that system. I’m a serious kidney stone maker so I have to drink insane amounts of water all day and I work from home. My RO system has been a life (or kidney...) saver, and just so happens to also be convenient for brewing

Our TDS out of the city water lines is over 400 ppm. What the hell?

this is what come out of my county water report basically the calcium gets high depending on how I want to adjust and it's fairly hard requiring about 7ml lactic in most batches.

HEY!!!!

You and I ordered from the same place, it looks like. Came Thursday via Amazon. But I also got a nifty O2 flow meter so I can monitor how much bottled oxygen gets pumped into the wort.

 

[kenmcchord]

Just in from Bobby at brew hardware, a RipTide pump, camlock fitting and hose for my electric brew build. One step closer......

I'd seriously double check that number. Don't know what level of TDS are permissible outside of the U.S but I can't imagine a modern country being ok with sending out non potable levels to its citizenry...but then again I'm a Michigan native not too far from the Flint lead water crimes against humanity incident so I guess it's more than possible...sad.

Surprising for sure. Our 2019 water quality report confirms my TDS meter readings: about 550ppm from one plant and 450ppm from the other here in town. Crazy!

I live in an area known for its limestone. Our rivers used to be tourist hot spots back in the early 1900s mineral water craze. Many rivers are milky whiteish.

Wow! Might want to invest in a Whole home triple filtration water purifier to soften then run that thru a Pur or Brita for drinking. Surprised everyone in town doesn't have alligator skin!

I guess one good thing about limestone water, you have the water for some good English ESB

i don't see a HEPA filter for sterile air, and para-film for sealing the petri dishes?
