A trend I noticed while shopping for replacement side sprayers many are plastic with shiny metal looking skins, with deceptively named colors like : chrome, brushed nickel, polished chrome, oil rubbed bronze, etc.. all plastic but with metallic "sounding" finish descriptions... caveat emptor.Looks like metal but its hard to tell ,
There was a few people complaining lately that the mics they bought which said made of metal were actually plastic in the end .I guess if you buy from Ebay something which is advertised as metal and turns out to be plastic you would have grounds to get your money back , there be hoops to jump through though .
My procedure is to use my faucet mounted bottle washer to spray yeast sediment out of my bottles, then I have a simple bottle rinser loaded with a dilute bleach solutionMy friends who home brews uses a chemical bleach solution mixed with water to sterilise his bottles , then drip dries them , I guess that must leave some small residue but thats what the instructions say .
Boiling, but I don't add the ground up roasted barley, and roasted chocolate malt into the wort until after I remove it from the boil. Just like coffee tastes burned if you over heat it, extracting the flavor from the ground up roasted malt works better at temps below boiling (just like making pour over coffee).Is it just near boiling water you use ?
that sounds almost a bad as adding food to get rid of pests... Nature is replete with wild yeasts and all kinds of biotics that would love to establish themselves in any nutrient rich solution. The legend about some Belgian ales was that in the old days they didn't have to pitch yeast into the wort, but there was so much wild beer year in the air from all the local beer brewing that the beer would start fermenting by itself naturally. I don't feel that lucky here in nowhere MS.drying the bottles outside in strong direct sunlight might allow UV light kill any nasty that remains without chemical agents .
Sugar has a "hot" alcohol taste, something young kids might use to boost proof, but not very good for the flavor profile. I use liquid malt extract and have for decades. I do use about 100G of corn sugar pitched into 6 gallons of flat beer just before bottling, to prime the beer and provide carbonation from a secondary fermentation while in the bottles.He also swapped over from sugar to malt extract , gives way more flavour and charachter to the end product .
Not exactly sunlight but I use a 25W UVc CFL lamp to disinfect my fermenter and bottling/priming tank. I use the frequency UVc bulbs that also generate ozone for a little extra something while disinfecting my beer making equipment. I have a normal 25W UVc lamp without the extra ozone mounted inside my air ducting to kill undesirable biotics floating around in my air. The ozone from that bulb feeding my room air even in modest amounts was pretty irritating so I switched to ozone free there.Boortmalt of Antwerp the worlds largest supplier to the brewing industry has a local branch in town which supplies the distillery , Ive been meaning to go down there for a look , of course these guys do deals measured in 10's of thousands of tonnes , unlikely they'd even deal directly with the public , still though there bound to have some surplus once in a while which probably ends up shipped off to make animal feed .
I'll definately try my hand at home brew once I get settled in my new place . I just wish I had all my parents old brewing equipment ,thats long gone now though .
It's not recommended to use bleach, because it's almost impossible to wash away the reside without introducing a few new batch of contamination, and boiling water for sanitization is fraught with potential for burns.My friends who home brews uses a chemical bleach solution mixed with water to sterilise his bottles , then drip dries them , I guess that must leave some small residue but thats what the instructions say .

Are either of your HDMI ports labelled with ARC?The ONN TV flat screen has two HDMI output jacks and so far I have tested both to see if I can extract some digital audio... no luck. This is very disappointing, I just want the smart TV to work as advertised.
I just found a list of the ten worst TV brands and ONN wasn't even on that list, and it doesn't work.

Here's one blurb from a 65" Hisense ROKU...weird I just saw it...Are either of your HDMI ports labelled with ARC?
What model of TV is it?
yes one of them is ARC and other is just normal HDMI output (?)... I have tried to extract digital audio from both HDMI jacks with no luckAre either of your HDMI ports labelled with ARC?
ONN 65" POS (piece of shit). They only have one 65" model,,, the price has dropped a bunch over last couple years.What model of TV is it?
