Holy SH!T Jon is alive!!! Dude, get brewing. One of my customers loans out a 5 gallon all grain system. Let me know if you are interested. Eric Barely http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forums/images/smilies/drowninga.gif I have so little free time to call my own it's driving me crazy. I haven't given u...

It's been a while and the idea never panned out, but the main concern was a health one. Assuming fittings could be Jerry rigged, I would still not want to put something into a system that was slowly leaking poisons or off flavors into the precious wort.

Not quite local (Bay Area/Peninsula) , but a great store just the same.

They are a large company and do quality work and I'm friends with the owner. By posting your design you might actually make money off your work too

Hey, thanks for checking in. I'm alive, just busy as hell
Wife and son are back from Japan, and work has been kicking me pretty hard. I'll be in Philippines next week on business. I wonder if they have any interesting beers...

Cheers!

Also there will be a new Brewery in Anaheim, near the stadium coming soon too. "Noble something" is the name. I heard the two owners used to work for BJ's. I think I met one of the guys involved in this at the LA Count Fair judging last year. I wish I could remember his name. You weren't ...

Picked up a pack of the Unibroue yesterday and shared it with a friend. Interesting beers, though I guess I still need to acquire a better taste for Belgiums. Not my favorite style.

I may be overstepping my bounds here, but I think flaked rice and rice hulls are different. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers!

Thanks again for the info guys. I have had good luck with making friends at the welding supply store near my house. Tell them you make your own beer and they will be very interested and will tend to be very lax when it comes to charging you for things and checking test dates on tanks. I take my gas ...

Are you determining this by weight or by pressure? The pressure of CO2 fluctuates wildly. I'm a noob at this. I am determining this by the needle in the regulator gauge. Try places that only exchange CO2 and don't fill it. Take it when they are busy and they probably won't look and just swap you bo...

Thanks for all the responses guys. I'm estimating I have gone through about a 1/4 of a tank in 4 days so it definitely sounds fishy. I will check all the fitting again and redue the soap/starsan bubble test. My tank was bought used and was not full to start with so now I am out of Co2 I think and ne...

Thanks, I'm suspicious of a leak then... hrm

I'm not sure if this is the correct place or if this should go in techniques, but I was wondering how much Co2 should I expect to use during the carbonating process? I have a 5lb tank inside a fridge at 40F carbing 5 gallons of beer at 12psi. As the Co2 gets absorbed into the beer, the Co2 tank will...

Awesome, can't wait till ya open!

Cheers!

So how do you harvest the lil guys up at the top? One long ass ladder? or do you tip the pole somehow?

That looks so awesome though.

Interesting, thanks for that info.

I'm pretty interested in the jocky box, but just haven't had the time to give it much thought. I just got back home late last night after a weeks business trip to Japan. Will let you know in a couple days after giving it some more thought.

Cheers!
