Re: PNW Meet 2016

I was able to get in contact with one of the event managers and landed 3 more VIP tickets. For the BBQ on Sunday we grabbed a beef brisket, chicken, pork shoulder, and Big Bob is fixing up his famous ribs. My father and wife are also doing up some side dishes, so I hope that everyone arrives hungry....

Re: PNW Meet 2016

I didn't get VIP tickets in time and they are sold out. Thus is the way of life. I will still be there outside to carpool Big Bob into Seattle for his VIP entry, if you want to come say hello to us before the doors open. You will see me in an S3 Tee, standing next to a noticeably tall man. Hyped. :e...

I would be suprised to learn that some of the most helpful members here do not scrap at least half of their comments.

Re: Does this molasses not seem ideal for our purposes?

Speaking from experience, don't let the marketing sell you in this paticular case. Its just repackaged fertilizer grade molasses and then it's sold at an ultra premium. Almost every product that is distributed by Sunlight Supply is a repackaging of otherwise affordable market offerings. :thumbdown: ...

Nice controller mate. I would be proud to rock it.

I would put a ground wire on the SCR cage. I attached a ring terminal to the screw that holds the cage to the board, located just to the left of the input terminals.

For neutral I rock a modified TPW in 55 gallon drums.

Inverting the sugar seems to make the ferment go quicker but that is my subjective...

Re: Citric acid question.

When I used copper packing, I would dip it in a gallon of water with 2 tablespoons baking soda after the citric bath. It would neutralize the acid before storage.
