I have been using my fridge/freezer for fermenting but now I want to revert it back to normal use. What position should I set the dial to for recalibrating? IE: I imagine I should put the capillary tube in ice water, set the dial to max cool and adjust the cutout to trip at that temp. Does...

I have had my starter going for about 24 hours now on the stir plate and I can't observe any precipitation when I stop it for 5 min. This is the first time I use a stir plate. Is this normal? Edit: saw some clouding when starting it back up.

Here's my new stand complete with a pump that I got for free from my cousin (THANKS!). It's a nice step up from a wire shelving rack on cinder blocks. The drain assembly can be removed to clean out any stubborn grains that get washed into the little nooks and crannies. The sink I found on...

Is it possible to solder to the flange of the element directly? Does anyone know what metal/alloy it is?

Some of us have read or discussed the custom baskets from http://www.anysizebasket.com. I bit the bullet after a number of my cooling sessions drove me crazy with pellet hop clogged intakes. Some may call it overkill, but dead is dead and I'm sure my draining problems will be over after this...

Has anyone ever attached some green scouring pads to a stirrer bar to clean some of those stubborn buildups inside vessels?

I have a Banner picnic tap that has a piston style air pump for dispensing. I'd like to switch it over to CO2 but it has a female threaded port for the air inlet. Does anyone have a adapter/coupler for this purpose? The threads are straight and measure .712 in diameter on the male pump part...

Now I know that I probably won't like the answer to this question but I will put it out there anyways. My cousin just removed her shallow well pump. It is a multi stage pump. It generates quite a bit of pressure and a great deal of volume. Is there any way I could engineer this thing to work out...

I don't know if someone else has posted this yet but... While researching silicone for an aquarium, I discovered RTV615. It is a two part potting silicone (meaning no air contact is needed) that is FDA approved. It is optically clear so you can see if the contacts have become compromised. I...

TEASER! More to come...

Does anyone know of a source for 1/4 tall kegs?

I want get as much density as possible for my fermentation chamber. I was wondering if anyone has found stainless cans that can be pressurized so that I can forgo the airlock and stack them on top of each other.

I have two L5-20p Flanged twist lock 110v 20a inlets. I bought these by mistake. I meant to buy OUTLETS not INLETS! They are used but are in good working order. I'm not looking to make any profit, just hopefully recover what I spent. They would be good for a 110v control panel for gas. I'm...

I just bought a lot of ten L6-30r 250V Twist Lock Flanged Female Outlets. They are perfect for heater element connectors. I am not looking to make any profit on these. I paid $6 a piece shipped. I will sell them for the same price plus actual USPS shipping. I have 7 to spare.

I am in the process of selecting the outlets for my control panel. I am between using the box type and the flanged type. Are there any significant advantages to using the latter ?

Has anyone used the DeLonghi A941 grain mill attachment for brewing?

I am trying to power three 5500 watt elements (HLT, external HERMS, BK) from a 220V 50A supply. I'd like to set up a circuit to interrupt the HLT element when the HERMS and BK kettles fire up. I'd like to put a short delay between the PIDs and the SSRs to allow the circuit to cycle before all...

Do you not know someone with a plasma cutter? I just finished cutting out my keggle tops with a circle cutting jig and they came out a real good fit. This was quite a relief as planning for the diameter of the hole can be a little nerve racking considering all the offset measuring involved...
