Is that a grate in the stove to raise the fuel?
Here is day 2 of fermentation. 24 hours into it. The cider has grown light in color from all of the suspended and feasting yeast. The airlock is...
I grew tired of cleaning and filling bottles so I go straight from fermenter to a keg where I first kill the yeast and then carbonate with carbon...
It burns just fine once dry. You will need more of it for the same heat but if the price is right then it’s all fuel.
Good question. It was just me. There were some fruit flies floating around so maybe that’s the “we”! That first photo of sanitizing the carboy is...
First we sanitize the clean car boy. Plastic only, I have a “past” with glass carboys. Then heat dissolve 1# of brown sugar into 1/2 gallon of...
Plain old Costco apple juice has no preservatives. Heat pasteurized and runs about 1.050 gravity. Add 2# of brown sugar to 5 gallons and you’re up...
We make several 5 gallon batches a year with nottingham ale yeast. Will mix up a batch this weekend and post some photos. So did you add sugar...
Holy smokes, they sure made it clear that they make the cats themselves. I suspect they heard the same rumor that I did or maybe they started...
I don’t think condar makes cats. They sell cats made by others. They do make some great thermometers.
I was under the impression that unless specifically written and allowed in the owners manual, the listed clearances to combustibles may not be...
What a fun sentence in the manual... "*ALL CLEARANCES CAN BE REDUCED WITH SHIELDING ACCEPTABLE TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITY." Ha! I would respect the...
You don’t need anything on the wall behind the stove. Just need to meet minimum rear clearance requirements. My bk is 6” from painted Sheetrock.
I am the oddball that does own a bk, I’ve been running it on minimum clean output 95% of the time for last 7 years. 9 month heating season, 4-5...
I use an NC30 in my 1800 SF insulated shop. 14' tall ceilings and an insulated slab. Some days I get in there and the stove and room is at 40...
When I first bought this old house, old for the PNW, I had very young daughters and a similar noncat stove that couldn't make good heat through...
Man, that hearth looks good and familiar. I have chickens too but not for the insurance company.
I burn lots of questionable things including nails so rather than spread the ash in my garden I actually shovel it into my garbage cans and...
Since everyone likes pictures. Just under 18” above stove top.
I’ve installed in the overlap section, it’s actually 4 layers. Not difficult at all. Added near zero effort. The problem with it is now the probe...
