I’m about half way through the 5 gallons. Bottled some up to share. That raspberry flavor is a hit!
20 banana cords sounds like a lot but who knows. That's a big greenhouse in a cold place.
beer stops fermenting at a naturally sweet fg. Then you add a specific measured amount back for bottle carbing. The yeast stop eating when...
I kegged my 5 gallon batch yesterday with 3 cans of apple/raspberry concentrate plus one tablespoon of potassium air ate to prevent further...
Cat stoves can all make a fireshow. You just need to turn up the primary air setting. On the woodstock fireview, that control is in the rear. Turn...
Woodstocks are rare in the pnw. Might be a hard sell, which is good for you. No more than half of new price.
Whoa. If you ever worry it’s running away on you just shut the air to zero and monitor for chimney fire. Some folks do some crazy stuff like swing...
That’s really tough to do. You can stop the yeast before they eat all of the sweetness with Camden tablets or potassium sorbate. Or just...
Don’t just use frozen AJC to backsweeten, get funky, use raspberry apple or some cranberry or whatever else you might find in the concentrate...
On something like this I prefer oem from the manufacturer. Not a “good enuf” guess from a generic pile. Th door gaskets are especially different
Those tubes aren’t cheap either and they’re not all the same.
Is this the type of window gasket that wraps around three sides of the glass pane and is then clamped in place by some sort of glass retainer? If...
Supposedly some people chuck wood in with such force that they actually bend these tubes out of shape. I've never burned through an air tube...
I use a small propane plumbing torch to start all of my fires. If I suspect weak draft I energize it a bit with a squirt of heat directly up the...
So the secondary system, well really all of the inlets, will pass more air into the fire as draft strength increases. Draft strength increases as...
Noncat stoves are designed to run hot so that they burn all of the smoke up. You have much less control over a modern noncat than you are used to...
That's the trick. Turns out that in the past, there was no actual btu test so the stove makers could write whatever they wanted in that...
Kind of a self feeding death spiral. Just that one spot got very hot. Like when you torch cut a plate, the rest can be relatively cool.
I just can’t get behind building a traditional masonry fireplace anymore. Especially with the intent of shoving an insert into it. The zc...
Wood burning insert or like a zero clearance wood burning fireplace? I expect that you won’t be able to use an insert without an existing masonry...
