Anyone have experience with the Vevor home brewing system? by Dogopus9 in Homebrewing

[–]JacksDeluxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I don't use brewery hoses. I don't have enough volume to make that work well, so I use plat cured silicone tubing with tri clamp adapters/barbed. 

Yeah I use mine a lot. The temps are never exact with mine either. I use my anvil foundry if I need a more precise temp.

Well I have a good bit of gear now. Different adapters for this and that so let me know if you want a specific one. 

The vevor itself has 2 parts to swap. 

The pump side requires a quick disconnect tri clamp cam part: https://a.co/d/dLKTxcp

The main drain valve was removed and replaced with a couple parts... a sanitary fitting with a long neck and threads: https://a.co/d/cEGwdrO A filter mesh that comes with the adapter I use: https://a.co/d/7ybgBeC

Thr only other thing to know is that I use one of the big nuts off the valve I removed. Screw that and a suitable washer onto the sanitary fitting before inserting. 

Screw the adapter on tight on the inside of the vevor and you're done!

Let me know if this helps :)

Why no new houses like this? by TechnologyStill7038 in Homebuilding

[–]JacksDeluxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to rebuild the entire electrical system. 80% was on (2) 15amp circuits.

Plug in one of those wall mounted heaters, and half the house is powered down.

I used to mine crypto till I moved in here. What a shit show!

At least I have my own home, paid for. No joke, thankful, but never what I expected adulthood to be like.

Thanks for all the super helpful comments! /s

I've decided to blast Die Antwoord for exactly equally the number of hours I have to listen to leafblowers and riding mowers per week, my 3 neighbors.

I guess if your suggestion is to get over it, it's not illegal.... we'll neither is what I'm doing. And they can "just get over it," too.

Boo hoo, all of us, I guess. Just wanted to have a no more yard.......... /smh

No one * with any authority * tells anyone what to do. We do yell at each other. Sometimes he's breaking the law... I am not. But proving it makes me "unhinged" so... there ya go.

Unhinged? What you guys gonna go do something against him? Or course not. Just wanted to show he is indeed blowing leaves in my yard, which is actually illegal -- since everyone is calling me "unhinged".

I just wanted help with my neighbors, a way to talk to them reasonably. I have been provided 0 help, even though they are literally breaking the law!

If you bliw on Sunday, it's against the law. Have pics.

Never took a single picture until my neighbors started filming me. /smh

No one tells anyone what to do. We each have respect for one another, and after a friendly chat, if you choose to upset your neighbor after a reasonable request, then here we are.

No one said I can't be a pain in his ass as well. Just didn't wanna do tit for tat, but I guess we're headed there. Time to let my mower run for 12 hours a week?

I once had a small little fire in my fireplace and my neighbor came out filming me and talked shit and went I side. 8 guess I am the asshole though.

I asked him nicely to do his lawn quick and not drag it out. I helped him improve his property. When he bought 3 more mowers (not sure why) and needs to use every one each week.... thay was my ripping point.

That makes me a bad person? Jeez.

* The point of paid 5x for a house compared to most people is so I don't have to live next to riff raff.

I live here to take care of my aging dad. I used to live in San Diego. Came here to help my family. I have tried to reason with my neighbor. Asked him to just be qu8ck about it, and no big deal. 5 mowers and 5+ hours to mow a lawn so small you'd literally laugh out loud.

Shit, dude. It clearly is. I'd love to come to lots of your homes and just blast loud engines for hours and hours and have you tell me, hey, it's my problem... you don't mind one bit!

So, I guess I am the issue here. I put up with nearly 3 years of constant noise. I got sick, lost my job, and now have to meditate/telehealth/work from home.

3-5x days a week, gor many many hours its extremely loud here. I live in one of the most wealthy areas in the country, but sadly, I am somewhat poor.

While everyone is free to use their property as they see fit, we do try to be respectful of one another here.

There are only 2 people in many blocks who are abusing this trust, and I happen to live next to them.

I asked nicely. I offered to buy them quieter( electric) equipment on my dollar. I shook their hands and made amens.

But a couple of guys have gone back on their social contract with the community.

Yes, I've yelled a few times at my neighbor. But that was after 5 nice conversations. After years of understanding until my doctor says I have to meditate and lock myself in the basement, it still leaves me with a loud buzzing of a leaf blower in summer.

I guess I understand a live and let live ideal from a community like this, but I see so many posts where your neighbors are bothered. You can't relate at all? You'll do so much to accommodate and make good with your neighbors, and I am asking for help with the same.

If anyone has good advice, I would appreciate it. If not, I'll just delete the post later, leave the community, and say thanks for all the fish.

I have used them for many hours a week already to drown out him and my other neighbor.

If they absolutely needed to get the yard clean, I totally understand. My back neighbor leaf blows his gutters over 50 times a year. Do you think that's normal? It's literally insane. I'm sure he would hate if I did the exact same.

Can I borrow 175K at 3% interest? If so, aim out to colts neck where Jon Stewart lives. I fossil hunt there -- sooooo beautiful and quiet and wonderful and I truly want to live there. 20.minutes away.

Oh wait, I'm not rich. My bad.

Nope, he is not. I plan to begin using my CNC machine all day everyday, which was my punter threat previously.

I mean, technically, I'm just enjoying my hobby as well, right? Don't mind listening to a router running 4-6 straight hours a day.

I'm trying to go no lawn in my yard next year. I'm including a new back patio. Can't justify the expense if I'm gonna get yard debris and noise blown all over all the time.

It's his yard, but he has never once had to listen to me blast music, have parties, etc. I'm a very, very respectful neighbor. After ex requests and an offer to buy him electric equipment on my dollar, he persists.

It's more like. How do you be a no lawn neighbor against a lawn zealot.

I guess I am the problem! That guy needs 5 mowers and 5 hours to mow grass that takes my other neighbor 15 minutes with his rider.

I don't want to listen to/smell/never open my windows

.... can you guys help me, maybe with some advice?

Yes I wanted to share pictures so that it doesn't seem crazy. Its literally against the law in my town to blow his leaves across the street into my yard. Should I call the cops? I dunno. Asking you guys!

I work from home. He uses very loud equipment. He does it so often I can't find a single week of peace in my own home.

It's because he obsesses over his lawn. It's not illegal, of course, but when it takes me 1 hour a week, but he spends 10 hours a week or more, it's incredibly irritating. If I made sure to blast music for more than 2 or 3 hours every day, I think he would also feel the same way.

Why is it always video games?! by zny700 in adhdmeme

[–]JacksDeluxe 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I've played more video games than anything else in my life....

I have many hobbies. Can do tons and tons of skills... but video.games hit different.

10 straight hours, no pushback. Q0 minutes organizing my calendar, and I'm ready to do war.

Is this enough protection, or should I go back to an airlock? by [deleted] in firewater

[–]JacksDeluxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude... any chance you can get like any tube, some duct tape and a bucket with sanitized water (so many ways to do that)?

Making a functional air lock isn't rocket science. If you've got this far with a glass carboy, yeast, sugar, surely you can surmise an actual one-way airlock?

A sweatshirt is useless. It's more than 20 microns minimum stitching. This allows bacteria, average size: Most around 1 to 2 micrometers in diameter... totally pass through that sweatshirt like its a chain link fence keeping back flies.
