That's funny... I was born and raised in Baton Rouge and as soon as I could afford it migrated out of the city. Where in Livonia? We're in the Frisco Ridge subdivision. I got my plants in the mail yesterday from Great Lakes Hops. I added some potting soil to the bags with a little water as...

Livonia (New Roads, Northwest of Baton Rouge) I ordered mine today. I'll try and post the progress here. I've tried to keep a garden for a few years but my thumb has yet to turn green. I'm better with grease and fire... 2 each, no particular reason: Goldings Nugget Brewer's Gold Fuggle...

I've played around with the idea of doing something similar. How do you plan to vent?

Does anybody have any idea how much pressure a fermenting wort will build? I know that's a vague question with many variables, but I'm just wondering if anybody has tried to ferment in a sealed vessel? I'm thinking about getting ahold of an old industrial gas cylinder and trying to ferment a...

Wow. We sell a 5lb for $9.95, a 10lb for $12 and a 20lb for $14, but I'm in Louisiana so that doesn't really help you out. The only company that I know of even remotely close to you is Indiana Oxygen... but as the name implies, they're in Indiana (http://www.indianaoxygen.com/locations/)...

Search for Welding Supplies in your area. They should be able to fill you up.

Greetings. Where in LA?

No pick me!!!

I guess I never reported for roll-call... Livonia here (near New Roads (near Baton Rouge)).

Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and threw my disconnect and gas line in a bucket of star-san just for good measure... but a word of wisdom... I'm in the gas business and you really shouldn't be concerned with getting "food grade" or "beverage grade" CO2. It all comes from the same bulk...

I'm getting ready to keg for the first time today, and in all of my research I haven't seen anything about sanitizing the gas-side of the operation (ie, valve, regulator and gas line). I am assuming that is due to the fact that once connected the CO2 will deplete the oxygen (ie, air) in the...

I'm in the same boat as you. Best of luck. FWIW I'll be going propane as well. I'm not sure why people are so scared of it. Regardless, I'm just in the planning stages as well. I have the space (in my case a 16 x 32 outbuilding), I just need to decide exactly how I want to use it. I guess...

Common argon flowmeters are CFM. I'm also curious why you'd need to know the flow rate of Nitrogen.:confused:

I'm not sure on the galvanizing... you might be right. I know that it produces hazardous fumes when welding, but I don't know if you'd be in danger at boiling temps. I would hope that the manufacturer of the burner checked into it... regardless, they'll probably end up getting trashed when I...

I'll start a build thread later, but I just wanted to go ahead and post a teaser pic or two... You should be able to get the idea.
