I completely agree. Most inspectors look at the big picture, who you are, what you know, do you appear to have your act together,and sign off without digging. But there's a small percentage (usually the ones who DON'T understand the industry, or are just plain an*l) that dig, dig, dig and...

The answer is ..... it depends. It gets complicated. Somebody called BS that you can't use refurbished kegs. OK, in theory you can, BUT you have to jump through hoops to do it legally. Try all you want, you can't easily call BS on an FDA or state health inspector, even if he is technically...

Umm, that's exactly what it is - A JOKE as part of a commercial. You got suckered....

If you can see the hole/crack, I would take a two step approach if possible. Some people have had luck fixing small holes with JB Weld. Just make sure the metal is clean, and rough it up with medium emery cloth if it is smooth and shiny. After the JB Weld cures, cover it with a piece of rubber...

I'm in the process of converting/building some equipment, and this thread caught my interest. I Googled and found tons of information. From what I read, it seems as though 15 ppb is the recommended maximum lead concentration in drinking water. A *ton* of information points out that almost all...

In most cases, unless you do some homework about the company/interviewer's attitudes and values, I think it's best not to discuss alcohol, religion, etc. just to be safe. Unfortunately, I think there is a stereotype difference between "I make wine" and "I make beer" - what about "I have a home...

Any comments on mash bed depth? Pros and Cons? Example: 60 lbs of grain 6" deep x 42" round (short & flat tun) vs. 30" deep and 18" round (tall & skinny tun)?

So - I am looking for thoughts about which would be the best for a Mash Tun and HLT based on a ~ 1 barrel batch size. The Mash Tun is the one that I am really unsure about - I don't really know the design goals for grain bed thickness, how much liquid is OK under the bed, etc.

Steam Jacketed Brew Kettles? The one on the left could also be a Hot Liquor Tank or Mash Tun? Hehe, if I got really ambitious:

Here are pics of what I have available: Fermenter (no brainer): Mash Tun or Fermenter? Mash Tun? A few more in the next post.

Thanks for the link, that looks impressive! I'll have to snap some pictures of my candidate vessels and post them, that might spark some ideas. This is basically going to be a "community brew club" system for 3 - 6 people per batch, stuffed in a "secret" corner of the factory, LOL. I'll also be...

Hi - First time poster, long time extract brewer. I'm looking for help/ideas/comments on building a 30 to 40 gallon system. In short, I have a unique opportunity to design and build a hobby system, using commercial materials, utilities (steam, glycol, potable soft water, potable hot water...
