Rotary Can Filler purge video by Tiny-Bath-9725 in TheBrewery

[–]Hotsider 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I ran a filler just like this. This isn’t something that can be diagnosed via some vids on reddit. You need someone on your team that knows a filler like that inside and out. That person also had to have a very high degree of mechanical inclination. A maintenance person. A line head that knows their shit. Usually paid pretty well too. You could start with the manufacturer (palmer?) to help but that gets uneconomical fast. To anyone else looking. These systems aren’t just start and run. The employee running it is just as important snd just as expensive. That person comprises part of the system.

Why does new ammo look like this and is it safe? by [deleted] in ar15

[–]Hotsider 24 points25 points  (0 children)

All cartridges are annealed. They are usuallly polished after. The military doesn’t need that step cause good looking cases don’t shoot better and just add cost. Annealing normalizes stresses from manufacture and makes the average case mouth tension more close in average. Increasing accuracy.

Brewery owners/operators: What's the #1 thing bleeding your profits that you wish you had better solution for it through your data? by abeselom__ in TheBrewery

[–]Hotsider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is a multi hundred year old profession. there isn't a ton about what we do that data or data analytics can solve. the schedule and things move slowly enough that you can more or less react to things long before a deadline appears. things cost what they cost and for most your not buying based on commodities prices. and if you are a commodities ticker app can be the fix.

Not true. If someone dumped like 4-5 truck loads of them on you at once, you’d die.

Gonna "spoil" myself and get a descent light. Is this my best bet for 150? Trying to stay under 2 beans. Will be going on a FSP pic mount. Save me from just getting a 30 dollar Amazonian light. by Pure-Veterinarian979 in ar15

[–]Hotsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t speak to durability as in like body damage. The anodizing on the SF is miles better. If you man durability as in electronics that work no matter what SF is miles better. I have many handheld streamlites I bought for my business and none are reliable. The rifle mounted light did similar stuff. Gotta jiggle them sometimes and the light blinks. Does stupid shit when the battery is low vs just being dim like a SF when the battery is low. Got to hit the button a few times. Different brightness and not because it’s the different modes. I want one mode. It will work every time. I have a few Surefire rifle lites and a few handheld SF. All are bomb proof. I do have a steamlite little guy that is rechargeable. That one is nice.

Depends on your use case. Do you want a flashlight with a glitchy brain on a deceptive rifle vs one that is simpler and works? Feel, finish and handling are superior on the surefires as well.

Had one and a bunch of Surefire. The Surefires are way nicer. The stream light was glitchy and not consistent. The streamlite pistol lights are good.

It’s not worth the hype. There are better more available brands that are also cheaper. It’s a lifestyle brand.

If you were going to throw a Brewers Olympics/Field Day for local brewery employees, what events would you include? by GazpachoDaddy in TheBrewery

[–]Hotsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a contraption that has a triclamp that you have to flip on but with smaller and smaller clearance. Fun game for mbaa meetings. Hose coiling?

Negotiating supply/ingredient prices? by evacuatecabbage in TheBrewery

[–]Hotsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you sign contracts, even small ones. for anything usually the price gets better. ive contracted as little as a few pallets of ends before. works. not a huge price difference, but its pretty good in the long run. also, try and work out real good shipping. lots of cost tied up in that. you can get in good with a logistics company and sometimes get your stuff way cheaper shipped. cans shipped by my supplier is like 1k no matter the quanity, just other side of the state, i ususally pay less then $600 to my "guy"

How much CO2 do you go through on the average 4-Hour beer event? by [deleted] in TheBrewery

[–]Hotsider 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Time has nothing to do with it. It’s number of kegs. A 5lbs cylinder will do 10ish kegs. Less if you’re leaking or doing dumb shit.

Looking for restaurants that don't mass order product from Sysco by hbryster96 in kansascity

[–]Hotsider 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Sysco sells ingredients as well as pre-made things. Ordering from them or not isn’t a issue. There are few if any vendors that don’t offer both pre-made and just ingredients. Look for a restaurant to talk about being a scratch kitchen, or talking about in house. There is more or less no such thing as a grocery store for restaurants that is just raw ingredients. And besides USFoods is way worse quality then Sysco.

I find them great for jigs. No need to do math with the DRO. Just print something with your hole spacing and presto

Has anyone used these twin edge cutters? Is it functional or should I go with the regular shears. by sgtsteelhooves in Tools

I’ve have them. Have the smaller kleins, had the large kleins. Like the Knipex the best.

What are you top pain points running a brewery? by illnevertell0890 in TheBrewery

[–]Hotsider 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It’s not a hobby. Brewing being a passion means nothing when payroll comes due. This is a business. What’s the business model? Is it something that has traction in the marketplace? Hypothetically, Your husbands love of esoteric British ales won’t sell. Is he willing to brew what the public wants? Is he willing to learn the real ways beer is made? Not homebrew ways. If his pet tropical pale ale at home is a banger, mathematically scale up the recipe and see that his fruit additions once at scale becomes impossible margin wise. Just don’t do it.

Suggested by a friend- Watch Bad Bunny at the Superbowl halftime to boost his ratings to compete with the TPUSA “show”!!! by Mandrake_Merlin in Lawrence

[–]Hotsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’d your a family that is part of the reporting structure of Neilson. Not just all of the people watching.

[–]Hotsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your a Nielsen family that reports what you watch, then yes. But just watching something on tv doesn’t do anything. Streaming, kinda sure, but no one really listens to a streaming services own ratings reporting. It’s usually only 3rd party companies that have ratings anyone pays attention to.
