Re: Brew day!
There are some fancy ways to add O2 to your wort but our method is to use a small exercise ball that is filled with sand. Less than 15 bucks at your local big box store. Set the carboy on top of that and shake/rock it vigorously. We will usually shake for two minutes or more. The exercise ball has s...

Re: Brew day!
Brewed a batch yesterday. We hit our targets and hoping it will be a good one. American IPA with cascade and nugget. Sure tasted good out of the pot.

Re: Brew day!

We can transfer boiling wort from the pot to the carboy at 75 degrees F My faucet water was so cold yesterday that I pumped full blast from my kettle and it left my plate chiller at 60 degrees. That is a great benefi...

Re: Brew day!
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/10/ynahusus.jpg this is an older picture of our rig. We've since added a 20 gal pot and a home built CFC. I use 5 gal corney kegs and the freezer in the back is our keezer. It will hold 6 kegs and the CO2 tank. There is also a 100lb tank we use instead of the 20lb ta...

I was hoping to hear from you LittleBill as I love the work that you are doing with your bowls and other pieces of turned art.
Thank you. We will put this on the "Nope List".

Re: Working on my stains and playing with shellac.
Maybe I applied it too thickly? I held the pipe and spray can of shellac about one to two feet away and tried to get an even light coat on the pipe. Then I used a clean cloth to wipe any excess away. This is where I noticed a lot of dye coming off the pipe onto the cloth.

Working on my stains and playing with shellac.
So I am playing with staining and creating a great contrast stain. I am using the leather dye method and started with medium brown at the 400 grit stage. Sanded again with 400 then applied a red/orange stain that I mixed up. Then I applied a diluted version of the red/orange and sanded 600. After al...

Frustratingly, I still have issues with my face.... :P I did all of my sanding and shaping with the stem attached and I had a very smooth fit. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/26/ery2y7ym.jpg But after finishing it obviously went south on me a little bit. I am pretty sure that during the finishing pr...

Re: What do you guys think about this lathe and it's potenti
I have several stories where a 6x6x4 inch piece of material shot around the shop. I leave the turning to my buddy and stick to much safer endeavors.
