Any ETA update on the false bottoms?

Can't sell them, then I wouldn't have the only one!

Got the idea when I was in the Swamp Rabbit taproom in Traveler's Rest, SC. Friend of a friend has access to a cnc plasma table and we did the rest by hand. 25 candelabra sockets with 6 watt scoreboard bulbs.

I'd find an epoxy to use. There are plenty that should work.

I personally don't care for the term SWMBO. Just say wife or girlfriend.

@slomo http://www.lodgemfg.com/use-care-help.asp lots of tips here.

I regularly do 20-23 lb 10g biab. I normally have a friend to help lift it out, otherwise I drain off a good bit of the wort into a bucket so I don't have to lift/hold the bag as high. As someone else said the biggest problem is fitting the bag through the keg opening and mine is cut 12" or so.

Atlanta has a metal outlet store: http://www.metalsupermarketsatl.com/ They have scraps or they can cut you more or less anything to size. Not sure if there's something like that where you are.

Tada

Try Covert Hops https://www.facebook.com/groups/coverthops/ They're a little more Atlanta based but they are big too.

Check out INHNB.org Based in the Marietta/Kennesaw area. I personally am in Sandy Springs but that's the club I hang out with. We meet on the first Tuesday of every month.

Gelatin has needed a few days in my experience too. Pushing it to another keg would at least get the beer off any sludge at the bottom of the current keg.

I don't use it often, usually when I want to serve it young to others who respond better to clear beer. I don't secondary so I use it in the keg. First pint or 2 is a little sludgy but after that its fine.

It's not instantaneous for one thing. Also I tend to use a tablespoon in 1-2 cups of boiled but still hot water. Let it bloom for a few minutes then stir it up and dump it in. I swirl the keg after dumping it in and wait a few days. Give it 3-4 days and you should see a difference. EDIT: Just...
