This was my wife's idea. I sketched it out and my father-in-law saw the sketch and decided to make it for me. He was a welder/fabricater before he retired. The frame is made from old bed frames.

I need to figure out a way to pay him back for making this. He's not a big beer drinker anymore.

when the silicone tip starts to break down grab some 2mm id silicone tubing and you'll have as many replacement tips as you want. I use this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012T3HAG2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but any kinda silicone tubing will do

Silicone tubing available off Amazon for about $2.00 a foot. Food grade seems to be most popular for health and longevity reasons. As a bonus I still have a link from my last purchase off tube http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FMWTRU Sizes are up to you dependant on you gear. Good Luck

Unfortunately chewing cables is practically impossible to train out.

Mine have chewed through nice thick braided ones before. The best option is to keep little cords (like headphones and USB's) up out of reach and to cover thicker cords that stay in one place (ethernet, power cords, etc.) with split-plastic tubing or cover it with some other more aesthetically pleasing cable management system.

I bought mine from Amazon.

Someone once told me that Tractor Supply sold them in the livestock care section or whatever. I can tell you that none of the stores near me do. And if you ask someone in the store "I would like to buy a really big syringe" they look at you very strange.

Buy this and this for a better experience with this smoker. Masterbuilt will say they don't recommend using pellets in it but I've had zero issues over the past year and a half I've used it. Bonus is you can also cold smoke cheese and hard boiled eggs with it. Here's a photo of my set up when I first got it.

>I build packs using cells with solder tags.

You really need to use those paper 'donuts' to protect the cell around positive pole.

https://www.amazon.com/Insulator-Self-Adhesive-Insulators-Electrical-Insulating/dp/B07H6TF58L

The deal is that only the very circle at the top is 'positive'. The rest of the cell body is negative. The wrapper for a cell is just PVC plastic, which while very tough is also sensitive to heat and doesn't hold up to abrasion very well.

Here is a picture of a cell top cut in half:

https://i2.wp.com/www.electricbike.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Battery18650D.png

All this means that if you inadvertently get a blob of solder around the positive side or something gets bent and touches the edge of the cell... then you are going to get a short which will cause a fire or other major problem very quickly.

Add a botteling bucket and a wand

It is expensive but PBW is a really good for cleaning.

One more vote for cable. I had my old cable die and it had a similar issue - one eye would go dark, the other eye would be fine or the image shifted; the HDMI signal was being corrupted and the display was trying to make the best of it. I'd have thought being a digital signal that I'd have lost all video entirely but that wasn't the case.

The thing is that the cable is a wear part - it's constantly moving and potentially being yanked and stepped on. It gets damaged. In my case I got a roll of Convoluted Tubing (I'm not sure if that particular listing is wide-enough for the old-school vive cable, but that idea) and ran my cable through it. I have a stretchy anchor on the linkbox end and a ziptie holding the tubing to my DAS on the other in order to protect the cable as much as possible.

You can buy heat shrink tubing in long thin lengths. It is made to be insulation and is fairly flexible. If you want a more flexible tubing maybe try silicone tubing? I can't open your picture (because of the network I'm on). Why not just replace the wires with new?

Its a trade off. PTFE tubing would be better but its very expensive. Silicone tubing is a bit pricey as well, but it should be safe. Do not use any sort of PVC or vinyl tubing.

I generally keep the "no plastic" rule to high proof (above 40%) at room temp, and any proof at boiling temperatures. I ferment in plastic, for instance, but 10% room temp is really of no concern. It is high temperatures and high proof that pose issues.

The biggest mistake I made was not getting big enough equipment to grow. I would recommend going for a 52 quart cooler, bazooka screen and 2 valves - 1 for the mash tun and 1 for the boiling kettle . 1/2" silicone tubing - once you use this tubing you'll never go back. Definitely a gas burner and also some sort of fermentation control

Are you letting it heat up for like 15 minutes before using it?

Turn it up to like 420, let it heat up for 15 minutes, elbow pack, if you can get through a bong fan assisted bong hits are legit.

Save your money and skip the ddave. Buy something like this

They should call this the chottle roll 🤪

This is the 3/8" copper wort chiller that I have.

.

This is the tubing which I bought separately and have been using until now.

.

This is the tubing I'm considering purchasing.

I know what you mean. Is your autosiphon 3/8" ID? I would just search for `3/8" ID PVC tubing. I found one 100' spool for $22 (Amazon Prime), which is about 22 cents/ft. If you just need it for an autosiphon, maybe 10 feet is enough for two lengths, and that's about $10-11 right now. Clearly the 3/16" ID beverage line is cheaper ($10-11 for 100').

this is an example of what I used

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KGL6XMW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_L2TJDbWMW2SS7

This one

I've tried those, but none of them ever worked a crap. The best way I've found is to buy a large syringe like this one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P90N3BY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Attach the tube to the slave cylinder bleeder valve, fill the brake reservoir full, and start sucking fluid out with the syringe until no bubbles are seen, periodically moving the clutch pedal up and down a few times. Then do the master cylinder as well if it has a bleeder. As long as air isn't coming in around the syringe/hose or hose/bleeder interfaces, that should suck all the air out of the system and get you a good hard clutch pedal.

Amazon has them.

Is this line suitable for beer line in my keezer? All the local stores seem to be out of 1/4" ID tubing.

Bowl that I used for a hood, $24:

Plus various bits of Home Depot screws, chains, eyelets, hose clamps and a stainless toilet flange to connect the bowl to the duct.

I'm seeing 25' on Amazon for $21 which should be more than enough for my little grow room to reach out the window. Since it's going to be winter soon, do you think it's fine if I vent directly into my grow room instead of keeping my window open all season? I don't know if 2-3 plants will cause mold/mildew with the humidity it emits.

This what I'm using right now: https://www.amazon.com/Speedi-Products-EX-AFC-396-Diameter-Aluminum/dp/B0085KZMAA/ref=sr_1_4?crid=IQT3SUZKLKAF&keywords=speedi+products+3+inch&qid=1557442068&s=gateway&sprefix=Speedi+products%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-4

I don't have it clamped, it just slips on the cold smoker and loosely shoved into the smoker via the chip loader. It leaks a little bit but nothing big. I'm doing it this way because it's easy to break down and put I'm the shed. I'm moving soon and I'll do a more permanent setup then.

I bought one of this and it was a HUGE help for bottling. Keep brewing!!!

Amazon if you want to try.

Yup sorry for not getting back to you.

He posted the method

Cool clock part For 20$

Control for like 100$

Driver for 5$

Brass tubing is 25$

Cuff is 25$

Misc 10$

So 185$ raw materials so I would do it for 210$ so over what I thought but if you're still down let me know.

Amazon Link

You need to go to the second page of the list of tube sizes and you'll see 17/32 at 36 inches there.

(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FN1G6Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Nah, I left the outlet alone since I can use the Mini's cap as a shut off valve when I'm done filling the bottle. That way I can leave the bladder hanging until I need a refill, although piece of silicone tubing and a pinch valve wouldn't really add any weight. I like the gadget Tinny came up with though, it's yet another example of the crazy things people come up in this hobby.

/edit-you know, using a Tinny cap on the dirty bladder side instead of the platy cap would eliminate the 90 degree elbow....better...

If anyone's wondering where I got the tubing, I bought a 10 foot piece off of Amazon a year ago for another project, it's more flexible and lighter than the vinyl tubing usually used on water bladders. You can even boil it to sterilize it.

This is what I have, grabbed it as straw material originally.

White SiliconeTubing, 3/16"ID, 1/4"OD, 1/32" Wall, 10' Length https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FN1FLA/

It doesn't fit like a tip, too small, but it is thin enough to stretch around quite a few tips. Sorry I don't have a caliper on me right now.

I'm using this stuff right now: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FMWTSY

It's the perfect size and flexibility, and with 25' of it you can make the hose any length you'd like.

Another option: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FMWTSY/ref=biss_dp_t_asn

What about something like this? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FMWTRU/ref=biss_dp_t_asn
