Re: Controller fan
I want to put a fan on my 240 controller to help keep it cool. It's a computer fan and only has to wires. Do I hook one to the black wire and one to the ground ? It"s not good practice to use the ground as a neutral in a 240 vac circuit. A failure in the fan or power cube has the potential to ...

Re: Having a ball
And for anyone who is considering a copper ball ... here is where I got mine https://www.necopperworks.com/ I asked them about the use of lead solder and they said no. I ordered and then tested and found that they were honest about lead.

Re: The Badmotivator Bain-Marie and Oak Barrel
Oh, filled my second BadMo barrel today with my single malt whisky. Ended up with around 5.75 litres at 63.5% ABV. Let's see how long I can keep it going before going in for a tasting! (I'll give it 3 weeks) The new make tasted excellent so I think it has a lot of promise. Bad Mo's age slowly I'd g...

Re: Mixing Rum
Not to be negative Nancy but I looked at this stuff on my last run for cracked corn and it looks like they’re adding sulfuric acid in addition to propionic acid now? Would we still consider this safe to use? Used as preservatives and sanitizing solutions. I’m not worried. https://www.echemi.com/cms...
