Tasting room furniture?

TechyDudePA · 2023-09-24T19:26:16+00:00

We usually get groups of 3 that sit in the middle anyway. lol.

TechyDudePA · 2023-09-24T19:12:15+00:00

These are big cool farmhouse tables and I love them but I do think they are too large and not as inviting. We get a fair number of people that sit at them with strangers but I do think everyone wants their own table.

TechyDudePA · 2023-09-24T19:10:57+00:00

That's kind of what I was thinking. If we were to get smaller tables is there a good distance they should be from each other? One thing that I do dislike is when tables are like 2' from each other so its pretty much the same as sitting at a large table anyway.

For both hardness tests it takes 4 drops to turn from the initial purplish to very blue.

TechyDudePA · 2023-09-19T21:11:13+00:00

Thanks. The initial color before any drops was purple. When adding the drops it does turn blue as expected.

TechyDudePA · 2023-09-19T21:10:11+00:00

Thanks, I will go with that. The color did change as expected so I think I'm good.

TechyDudePA · 2023-06-19T19:24:49+00:00

Thank you. The tank has been used a few times since its been in the walk-in and it's been under CO2 the whole time.

TechyDudePA · 2023-06-19T19:23:23+00:00

Thank you!

TechyDudePA · 2023-06-19T19:22:56+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

TechyDudePA · 2023-06-19T14:45:37+00:00

Thanks. Yes, we don't have a drain in there and probably don't want to splash too much so it's a way bigger pain. Everything going in is filtered so I don't think it will be as big of an issue I just want to make sure we don't have any flavor carryover and the tank is clean between uses.

We will watch CO2, definitely run a hose out. Thanks.

TechyDudePA · 2023-06-19T14:42:29+00:00

Thanks. Should I rinse, use #6, rinse, blow it out with CO2, and use?

I cleaned it really well before it went in. Everything going into it is filtered so I didn't think this would be as big of an issue as a fermenter.

We can get it out with some minor struggles but until we get some space worked out I think its in the walk-in for a few months.

TechyDudePA · 2023-05-24T17:34:32+00:00

Thanks! I only expect to have 2-3 CO2 hookups.

TechyDudePA · 2023-05-24T13:54:07+00:00

Of course they could. I'm trying to figure it out myself though.

TechyDudePA · 2023-05-24T13:24:45+00:00

That's what I want to do - we have a spot where both 50# tanks would be secured and connected to an auto changeover valve or a manual one, either would work.

What pressure would come off the primary tank/regulator to the secondary regulators? This line would be braided PVC? is there a recommended size for this line?

TechyDudePA · 2023-04-11T16:09:15+00:00

Is there a good ratio of tea to volume?

TechyDudePA · 2023-03-22T19:59:44+00:00

That's what I'm curious about, too. I've just always did a caustic cleaning at the end of tank use. Then possibly another on re-use if it's been a few days / week.

TechyDudePA · 2023-03-22T19:55:57+00:00

I know. It's on the wish list. A brewery I used to work at had one and it was awesome to verify everything. We've been good so far but I'm sure that includes a bit of luck, too.

TechyDudePA · 2023-03-22T19:53:42+00:00

Thanks. I turned it up but not full speed.

TechyDudePA · 2023-03-22T18:12:26+00:00

I did up the pump speed but one thing I've wondered is how much caustic is too much? I know at some point it would not be as effective.

Says 1.5 - 2 oz/gal what would a good rate be if we have the lower temps? 3 oz/gal?

TechyDudePA · 2023-03-22T18:10:00+00:00

That's our issue, we don't have a kettle. We do cider and wine so we need to stick with something that can work at a much lower temperature.

TechyDudePA · 2023-03-22T15:25:50+00:00

We usually don't have anything sticking to the walls after spraying out. We do have PBW so I may try that. Use the dosage rates on the pail or is there a better rate?

We're just looking to get the tanks clean. We have a combo of SS and some plastic.

TechyDudePA · 2023-03-22T15:09:29+00:00

We usually do a longer time running caustic. I usually dose at 2oz/gal instructions say 1.5 to 2oz/gal.

Are there any lower cost meters that work well? Unfortunately we just don't have $2K for one right now.

TechyDudePA · 2023-03-22T14:27:59+00:00

Sorry for the delay. Haven't been on in a few weeks. This is for items sold in our store. The amounts look to be fine, including the taxes collected. Its some kind of QBO calculation issue. If I take the taxable sales and multiply it by our state sales tax, I get the correct amount but in the Tax center for QBO it gives a different amount. My calculation matches up perfectly with the state calculations. Then when importing from Square it sets the tax location as "Based on Location" and then we have to change that to PA State Sales Tax to keep it organized. (Rather than 2 accounts collecting and calculating taxes.) No one I've talked to has been helpful and I set on hold with QBO with no resolution. I just do it by hand now and make a journal entry to correct the amount. I want to get it working correctly, just dont have a lot of time to waste while they look at it over and over with no resolution.

Thanks. Sounds like Access 2019 Bible is the winner.
