    Sodium Percarbonate in the dishwasher

    So has anybody else tried this? I recently ran out of dish washing powder so I threw in some straight sodium percarbonate instead. Everything came up so much cleaner and the glasses and dishes actually sparkled. (sounds like a commercial I know) Since then I have been dropping the dose down...

    Doughing in Cold

    There are a few similar threads, but nothing that covers exactly what I am thinking. I have a 115L pot gas heated biab system, but also a herms unit. The Herms unit is an 8L breville urn with one of Nev's stainless hermit coils mounted through the lid. The urn only has an 1850W element, so...

    STC 1000 accuracy testing

    I thought this would be an interesting experiment. This unit is a metrology calibrator or dry block calibrator. There is a thermowell in the top that you put the thermocouple in and you set the temperature and compare it with the thermo reading You can set it at any temperature from -45 to...

    CO2 bottles - how long does yours last?

    I've got the keg king 2.6kg bottle. I don't know exactly how many kegs it does, but it doesn't seem to be enough. I'm getting it filled today so I will pay more attention to it this time. I've even taken to turning it off most of the time to make sure its not leaking anywhere. I just turn it...

    Running a burner on natural gas

    I had a natural gas point added to my shed when it was built and I'd like to run my burner from this. I know that I will probably need to adjust the burner hole sizes when changing to NG, but can someone who understands more about NG explain why I need to add a regulator into the line from the...

    Hi All, Could someone give me some tips on how and where to cut this root stock. Ive just dug it up to repot it, but wasn't expecting it to be this big. Im thinking I might as well separate and plant into a couple of pots

    Average Hops

    So the last brew i did was using Tettnang hops. I was just brewing a very basic rice lager, but when I put the first batch of hops in there was just a little fizzle rather than a boom. Ive got a pretty big brewpot, so i like to dump the hops in quickly and watch the whole thing foam up (small...

    Keg King C02 Regulator

    I have had my keg king reg for just almost 2 years. I usually set the psi at 10 and it holds steady at 10 constantly. After the last C02 refill it has started creeping up. It now gets close to 20 psi and I can't adjust it any lower. Ive just come back from 2 weeks away to find it almost...

    Poor Mans Flow Controller

    Ebay I came across these manual pinch valves when I was searching for some solenoid pinch valves, and I am wondering if they would work as flow controllers if you wrapped them around your beer line. They are designed for fine adjustment, so they could be a really good poor mans solution to...
