Corn, silk off but I saw a post somewhere about leaving them on and cutting at the stalk and it pulls off easy/peasey! Ribs and a Butt for me last night. rub and 3hrs to 150 then foil and load up the smoker and forget about it.looks good and juicy, Not enough motivation for my boys to stop...

I would have bottled.

Got Pics? Regulator and hose freezing? I'd like to see pics of each burner flame with the tanks.

Good Luck! you have been infected with the homebrew bug. You'll never look at beer the same again.

As far as the wait time between opening the Tank valve and the Burner Valve, You are correct you should wait. the safety valve needs to see pressure on both sides. If not it shuts down thinking there is a free flow happening IE. burst hose. My Mosquito Magnet had a tool to reset it manually...

I brewed a whiskey barrel stout from kit. I don't remember who's it was. It tasted thin at bottling, I had problems with carbonation after bottling I had a few that did carbonate properly. Wow! what a difference in mouthfeel! I'd go with that. wait and see.

+1 on "no pics" never happened.. Need to verify the Carnage.. and and realize I don't have to clean it up. wonder about my fermentation temps, worry it's infected, search for a swamp cooler. verify my thermometer's accuracy, curse the aquarium tape glued to the side of my bucket.

I've already paid in spades for the beer I am now drinking. I would sell it right now, On Consignment. If it doesn't move Guess what? I'll drink it. I got infected with non pasteurized beers in Europe. I like to brew, it makes me happy! I haven't had any complaints from anyone that isn't...

I don't keg but I would bottle that,

How's it going to fit in the Keg? Those Soda Kegs with the removable tops Sanke?? is that the term? I'd cut them down and split them into chunks, paint strainer bag suspended in primary.

see what your gravity is supposed to be after the boil. If it was me.if it's too high i'd add boiled or bottled water

I don't think the safety valve is in the regulator. The Tanks have a free-flow limiter. may need to buddy up another tank to split the flow from the tank valves. Put 2 gauges up and downstream and run the system again, see where the psi drops.

I've been lucky with the lids, I did foul up with the three piece airlock, Not enough liquid and it looked good but wouldn't bubble, tweaked me for a day or two then added more vodka and a bubbling away it went. DUH!

The cooling coils are typically spray-foamed in the shellwith the inner liner set in place, the foam sticks to everything like urethane glue. I've tried before and it's a pita. the coils are so thin they break looking at them. The $30 fridges from college are probably low on freon as well, they...

Interesting, but a little rich for my blood at this time, I like the custom fabrication.
