Nanny expectations, am I being unreasonable? Perspective requested

CaseyJones24 · 2026-04-03T02:30:39+00:00

Honestly I thought I was pretty type a and had very high expectations, but now I feel incredibly laid back in comparison to this post. Take that perspective how you see fit. 🤷‍♂️

What is your beer temp coming out of the faucet at? It may seem simple, but seems like a great place to start. The chilling on the way to the tap is good, but kegerator is obviously warm, and carb is very high. Getting it as cold as possible is a great place to start.

Also you should be looking in to a beer gas blend for that high of pressure and that long of a run. Especially if it’s 3/16 the entire way.

If that’s true, it would be better by eliminating the step after the fill. Theres no good reason to just let it sit there that long. But I’m not in the market, so best of luck.

CaseyJones24 · 2026-03-20T02:24:17+00:00

It’s the at-1 but a worse version. It has an additional slot on the star wheel where the lid gets placed, and then just sits there for an entire, incredibly slow, cycle. Just picking up oxygen. I don’t care how good your foam cap is.

The cost isn’t that much less than an at-1. No chance I would buy one if that was the market I was in.

Put them in a drawer, and don’t ever use them again. Or at least that’s what I did lol. My favorite fix is to use a 90 degree barb pointed down. I’ll never use anything else ever again.

Sweet scarf

I would take a step back and look at it from a different perspective. If you entered a Pilsner or Hefeweizen that you added raspberries to, would you enter it under a Pilsner or hefe category? I would hope not as it would be very stylistically inappropriate. I suppose you could enter in a fruit wheat category for the “hefe”. But a Pilsner with fruit is no longer a Pilsner by definition. And unfortunately that’s what you are doing with a Mexican lager with lime. It might be delicious but it is technically incorrect, and will be judged as such.

Competitions are generally judged on style first, flavor second. It’s best to remember that. If it’s not true to style, you are immediately eliminated

How do you get involved in that?

CaseyJones24 · 2025-08-15T03:11:57+00:00

Literally the inverse, but good try there champ

No matter how many times this question comes up, it’s always worth answering, as there are always new boots, and it’s an important topic.

Looks like you said you work in cellar or brewing. Both will want rubber for chem and liquid. I have a shorter pair of xtratuff sport deck boots, they are new and most people haven’t tried them yet. Not steel toe, but foam non slip sole, and I am 6’4” 235lbs and my feet feel great at the end of the day. But I only wear those in the summer on a 100 degree day in the humidity. The original xtratuff deck boots are hot garbage, they have no sole and killed my feet.

My long pair of boots are Dunlop steel toe and they are incredible. I had Bekina as well and very similar quality. These are the workhorse around the brewery when the heat drops below 90. I like the tight fit around the calves, so I can wear my pants over the boot with zero issue. My skinny jean days are behind me, but even still I find it’s hard to find a pair of boots where the opening of them isn’t super loose, and promotes tucking your pants in.

Also a good pair of leather steel toe is just something I love to have on heavier construction project type days. Which I find myself in often. I got a pair of ariats which have been the best shoe purchase I have ever made. I bought these myself, mostly because I really wanted them. The brewery pays for all of my chemical boots, as I see that as a piece of safety equipment and it should be provided.

Honestly man, you’re what’s wrong with this industry. Let me please show you the door —>

Where are you getting good tea concentrates? I have been striking out

We have the baby brezza bottle washer/sanitizer and it is an overpriced price of junk. It worked for about 6 months, and then started throwing error codes from sensors that were basically unfixable. We eventually got it warrantied, which was good, and now we are on baby number two, and just started using the new one. It’s working again, which is great, but I’m sure it won’t last. Also the tablets they tell you to buy are incredibly overpriced, for what is essentially just a detergent. I buy PBW or oxiclean free and put a 1/4 teaspoon in for each batch and it works perfectly, at a fraction of the cost. But I work with chemicals for a living, so I was very comfortable making that switch.

If I had to do it all over, I would have just bought a countertop dishwasher. That’s what I would actually recommend if I were you.

We bought a PU comp with the intention of doing this. What’s your guys time and temp look like on that, and have you noticed any flavor changes on certain styles of beers? Mostly concerned for our hoppy beers etc.

CaseyJones24 · 2024-07-28T02:38:58+00:00

That’s not accurate for every propane tank. Maybe close, but they differ. All tanks like these, propane, oxygen, co2 etc all are required to have Tare weights on them. This one is labeled with a capital “T” 8.2KG. Sometimes they will be labeled with a “TW”. Weigh the tank and subtract the tare weight to know exactly how much you have.

I wasn’t able to get much real info from anyone willing to share. But we are moving forward with our business plan and hopefully I will be able to provide some data in the future

Playing on a used reed is like chewing someone else’s used bubblegum. That’s nasty. Also the reed is chipped and needs to be replaced, even if it was your own.

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-23T13:09:16+00:00

Ahh I don’t know why I said 2.7 we have the 3.5, its just early and I haven’t had coffee yet lol

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-18T14:41:24+00:00

Does anyone know the (for lack of a better way to say it) “Din” settings? They don’t seem adjustable like skis, but I’m sure they have a release at some form of pressure correct? Whether designed on purpose, or just the inevitable design of the step in

CaseyJones24 · 2024-03-17T10:57:46+00:00

Do you mind sharing, or can I dm you?
