My 13 y.o.son picked out a card that said your 1st mothers day for his mom .. lol I made her breakfast and cooked some pulled pork and greens with fried okra. Never heard of Scandinavian style red cabbage and I eat lefse and rommegrot like it's going out of style, gonna have to look that up.

bottles wont explode unless you over prime, get infected or it's not done fermenting.. 6 weeks kills me let alone 6 months lol

go get one of those cheap air pumps from home depot, the sell a 110 version. Cut the hose and put a ball lock fitting on it. I dont waste much co2 5psi ussally fills the line and then some, so i use co2

I use the growler filler also.

shmbo is on to me I passed out last month with the immersion cooler going, now im getting grilled why we burnt up an extra 2000 gallons of water lol .. Glad I had the pressure washer out LOL. Grass looks great in that spot though.

3393 + 5 gallons of make american wheat great again = 3398

theoretically it is under constant pressure, but there are always drops in pressure. IMHO i wouldn't trust a vacuum breaker and use at a minimum backflow preventer. Some areas mandate you need to be mechanically separated thats even worse you need to drop your water supply into tank then pump...

When im sanitizing a keg i'll pump sanitizer through. A short blast of co2 will pump a bunch though. I use Idophor, but starsan would probably work the same. It seems to have worked for me so far, but I'm pretty regular on sanitizing my kegs.

I brewed an ipa this last year I called it hurricane ipa, I had some time off after irma. Seemed fitting a bunch of crap all mixed up. It was pretty good and im not really an ipa guy

Any displacement you might have through the top will be replaced with 80% nitrogen anyways works for me. No matter how you remove fluid you need to replace that space, unless your under pressure. Co2 is also denser than air so pure co2 will push out the air if it's still fermenting.

I use pin locks also, cheap reason also.. I did have one fitting that just about drive me to converting. then I smartened up and bought a new fitting.

I spray the bottom of my fridge with a borax water mix and on the floor around. Mines in the garage and does attract roaches. Its not the food value, but its a great source of water for them. Haven't see many but the occasional large one around since I started doing that. edit** im sure it'd...

2780 + 5.5 saison = 2785.5

Ive blown out in a 7 gallon carboy on 5 gallon batches twice, but the mess is way easier to clean than my blow off tube. You guys have some tricks to clean those blow off tubes or am i missing something easy?

I'd order starsan or idophor and delete the oxiwash and just pick up oxiclean versatile free.. I usually keg, but if your gonna bottle defiantly get the 22oz bottles .. lol I just bottled 6 gallons of cider in 12oz bottle shoot me lol
