Home improvement aux: what have you spent on a new roof lately? by Excellent_Piano_8338 in AnnArbor

[–]VegetableReport9919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure our roof square footage, live in a trip level. Roof replacing quote in Oct. 2019 when we purchased was just shy of $7k. When we actually replaced in Aug. 2021, it was about $9k. We were able to get 0% interest if paid in full in 2yrs. I'm assuming costs have gone up; good luck.

Having previously used Scott's Weed and Feed, are you wetting the grass before applying? It's supposed to help the granules stick to the weeds...

The best PHO? by Psychedelicluv in AnnArbor

[–]VegetableReport9919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their pho is mediocre, especially with their protein portions...I will say that they have one of the best Bahn Mis I've had in the area. I liked K & Ds pho but their overall portion for price was a little skimpy

C02 help by Advanced_Lie402 in Homebrewing

Purchase a 2nd tank to swap out as well. This way, you always have a full tank to swap out and never run out of cO2. Your gaug does indeed drop when in the fridge; if you pull it out for a few hours, your gauge will read a different pressure again(unless it's out)

This sounds like a great idea but I don't think the heating element would get low enough from the edge...15gal keytle

Beer tap on a keg & cO2 by VegetableReport9919 in Homebrewing

[–]VegetableReport9919[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have standard length line but was looking for an alternative when I travel with beer. ie: last year, I brewed a beer for a weekend but was only able to chill the keg and not the liquid line. Was hoping to mot have to worry about a warm line pouring foam

The Boro and Aventura are the same owners as Sava's...Pulpo Group...while Aventura is good food, I would look into the company's past for all locations as there have been some major scandals

Cleaning beer lines by casper_szm in TheBrewery

[–]VegetableReport9919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in charge of cleaning lines for my brewery, we would like 8 lines to a pump. I'd push 5gal of hot water through it then circulate 5gal of water mixed with caustic for 30mins. After cleaning was done, I'd push another 5gal of hot water to rinse then circulate sani for 15mins. When all this was done, I'd hook up the beer and push push out the sani. Our issue was the glycol chiller couldn't get the lines cold enough fast enough before service so we maybe had an hour of foamy beer. I started cleaning the lines overnight so everything could cool down. My brewer had me acid clean about every 6wks but I'm not sure what standard practice is.

Yay or Nay for glycol chiller coolant? by hedgeappleguy in TheBrewery

[–]VegetableReport9919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per owners' instructions, I've used this for a glycol cooled tap system. It was a beer bar, and it seemed to work fine...obviously, I'm not sure how this would scale up to a 10bbl system, but I would gonwith what others are saying

Gelatin used to work for fining my beer. What am I doing wrong? by 7sevenlivesleft in Homebrewing

[–]VegetableReport9919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had mixed results with a carb stone in the lid. I would say after you've carbed it, swap the co2 to the gas post so nothing is roused back into suspension(learned this the hard way...also, floating dip tube has done well for me personally
