Bought a pulley of Amazon for my mill. Measured it wrong. I was going to shim it, but the fit and finish on this pulley isn't doing it for me.

My custom-made Spike 15-gallon brew kettle with a steam condenser lid, tri-clamp fittings, and all the accessories. Everything arrived in excellent condition, especially after submitting the drawing approval only 3 days prior. Talk about super fast fabrication, shipping and delivery OMG wow! Spike certainly exceeded my expectations of perfection. Looking forward to brewing many batches of homebrew with this quality equipment!

My f**king new freezer was supposed to be delivered by Best Buy between 1:30-5:30. I received no less than three reminders on email and text.
A little before noon I received an email and text requesting that I schedule an appointment for delivery!!!
The assh*les knew at 7AM that a “route” was eliminated (read the f’ing driver didn’t show up and they waited 5 hours to tell me!!!!
Next available delivery is Friday. 7 AM. They better f’ing show up!!

Sorry to hear that may the beer gods have mercy on you.
 
My Tapcooler counter pressue bottle filler from Adventures in Homebrewing.
I’d love to hear what you think of that after you use it a few times. I’m considering one myself.
Birthday gift from my wife. The rabbit hole just went deeper…

You’ll love kegging. One tip right from the start… lengthen that liquid hose on that picnic tap or we’ll be hearing from you in the bottling and kegging forum wondering why your pours are so foamy.

How long do you suggest? I really haven’t looked into kegging at all and she shocked the hell out of me. The most I bothered was to measure my fridge when I bought it on the off chance I would make that plunge, and here we are, haha.

Well… you were talking about a rabbit hole?:cool:
For typical vinyl tubing like what’s supplied with your setup, a good rule of thumb is a MINIMUM of 1 foot of 3/16” ID tubing per psi on your regulator. Most beers will be kept at approximately 12 psi +/- depending on your carbonation preferences. If you’re serious about upgrading, I’d suggest 4mm EVABarrier tubing. There is even a new picnic tap design available if you still want to keep things simple. With the EVA, you can reduce line length to 6-8’ because it has such a small ID, which creates more resistance. You can post any questions you encounter in the kegging forum or PM me and I can do my best to help you further down the hole.o_O

The only line length calculator you need is: Determining Proper hose length for your Kegerator

But, as @camonick mentioned, The EVA Barrier tubing doesn't require the lengths that others do. You could adjust the "e" variable to adjust for it though.
 
Lactic acid for pH leveling and potassium bicarbonate for the seltzer I'm going to do either tomorrow night or this weekend. Talk about a rabbit hole...the more I get into reading about hard seltzers and the "best" ways to brew them the more stuff I seem to need. Also five pairs of cheap reading glasses since they seem to go the way of the wind around here. Embarrassed to admit I need them at only 54 (I'm still young! I remember high school!! Kinda....) but the print on the manifests I use at work keeps getting smaller and the monitor screens can only be moved so much closer to my face. Also the tattered copy of 2015 BJCP guidelines I keep next to my "desk" in the brewery...was that 5.5% or 9.5%ABV?
