Hey jimmy I just PM'd you about an extra pump I have.

I think I have posted this before, but I purchased from the same seller on ebay. It will absolutely pull enough vacuum to transfer and degas. The only downside is the flow-rate is slow (a few liters per minute). Thus you need a valve to prevent the liquid from flowing into the receiving valve if...

I have several of these, which are essentially the same pump. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buhler-Motor-with-Rietschle-Thomas-Pump-/111022075203?pt=BI_Pumps&hash=item19d96e6d43 It's a higher quality brand but a used item. I had to disassemble two that I purchased to clean the valves. Very...

Going by what gvc.net has as specs the only difference is a blue (158116) or white (158326) cap. For the price of 158116 you could upgrade to the 3G slimline for just a little more (158610). But you need to use 3/8" or 1/2" NPT to get the same price, the 1/4" is a bit more. Their pricing...

Exactly, this is why I use the tinfoil method, so I can do a final rinsing with plain water. Although, I acknowledge a spritz of kmeta likely is insignificant. I can see how the thought of leaving bottles around with only a tinfoil cap could be asking for a disaster. But in reality there are...

Another option is to clean the bottles thoroughly then wrap a small piece of tinfoil over the opening followed by heat sterilization in an oven. After the sterilization the bottles can be stored for months as long as you keep the tinfoil cap on. Then prior to bottling all you need to do is...

For what it's worth I received a 23L barrel direct from Vadai a couple of weeks ago. If you are interested in a barrel try giving them a call.
