Too much alcohol?
I get the importance of labeling anything for consumption. But this looks like a few of our Canadian friends may have finally gotten a good deal on a commercial spirit. :) https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/05/04/bombay-sapphire-gin-recalled-after-bottles-discovered-to-contain/22069061/?ncid=txtl...

Re: buildup of fuzzy white stuff on steam boiler&heating ele
Are you on a public water system? If so, you can get a report from the provider that will give you the test results from your water. If not, I would buy a kit from Hach on amazon and test your water. From there, you can treat it with an appropriate method to take care of the issues. The most obvious...

@Evil Wizard, great thread! Lots of good info and discussion here. I hate to "jump on the direct injection bandwagon," but I have to. Honestly I can think of very few indirect heated set ups that actually work that I've seen on the 'net. The only ones of note are the coveted double walled...

Re: First attempt at
As far as your original post goes, I'm wondering how much liquid you had after you put 6lbs of grain into 1 gallon of water. That ratio sounds more like a recipe for cement than it does a recipe for a ferment. You can find plenty of discussions regarding grain ratios to water. An easy starting point...

Bob, are you just here to clean up what Angel started (ArkAngel...honestly, who didn't think from the beginning that handle had an agenda)? Anyways, will you tell us straight, what is this?

Re: Cool find need insparation
Is there a nameplate on this thing? Wonder if it has a pressure rating, etc. maybe a steam mash vessel, and have a large outlet on the manway toward the bottom into a tank for cooling, malt, fermentation.
Cool find.
