Mark D Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 Lovely exhaust manifold on this beast. Would make an easy dual setup. If one had the manpower... I bet the scrap value of the windings in the genset would easier pay for the engine.... Hey Moose here's a chance to stuff a few more horses in that A of yours! http://tinyurl.com/c2lz32s Quote
moose Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Looks too high dollar for me, Mark. Not to mention too long... By the way, Mark, that was some good beer you left for me. I'm kinda inspired to make an IPA now. AND I ordered a keg system! I can't wait to have my beer on draft! Quote
Mark D Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Posted May 21, 2012 Opa Opa IPA - yep tasty brew if you're an IPA appreciator. They've got a few styles on the shelf here locally, been selling it for a year now so I guess the locals like it as well. The KEG system is definitley a great idea if you home brew.... So much easier than bottling. But beware, the calories add up fast when you have no bottles to count what you drank! Keep watching that auction - I bet the price drops. Just a thought but maybe you're buddy Mark that came by should look at this for his sons mopar?.. Quote

Tim Keith Posted May 24, 2012 Report Posted May 24, 2012 I'd pull a 265 from a Massey combine harvester if I knew of salvage yards. The Super 92 is almost a sure bet. Some have the Perkins diesel, most have the big Chrysler L-head. The Super 92 was a large machine when it was new. A 265 from a '54 Chrysler sold on Ebay this week for $405.00, Included a Powerflite 2 speed. Shipping from northern PA killed it for me. Quote

moose Posted May 25, 2012 Report Posted May 25, 2012 Are you a homebrewer? I brew like crazy, got 3 taps in my garage. Yes I am. This is my first keg, but right now I've got 5 kinds in bottles. Bottles are nice to bring to a party or as a gift, but they are tedious, huh? Quote

Bottles are nice to bring to a party or as a gift, but they are tedious, huh? I bottled my first batch and that was enough for me. I had a fridge in the garage and put in 3 taps and got a bunch of pepsi kegs. Kegging is way better than bottling and I just fill growlers if I need to bring beer somewhere. Are you using extract or grain? I built a 3 burner all grain system with a pump and it made brewing much easier and more fun. I keep an IPA on tap at all times and then swap out wheats, pale ales, bitters, porters and stouts for the other taps. Are you on homebrewtalk? Quote
greg g Posted May 26, 2012 Report Posted May 26, 2012 Our area used to be a big Hops growing center, some folks are beginning to grow again on a commercial level. I thought I might put in a doxen bines or so couple varieties, but waited to long to get any for tis season. I guess you need to secure them in early march. Are homebrewers using actual hops buds or the pelletized stuff? If so what varieties are you interested in?? Quote

It's hard to use homegrown hops because they have to be dried properly and the alpha acids. They are several new hopfarms around me and they are selling their crops to local breweries before they even harvest them. I wish I planted a hundred acres a few years ago. Quote

I do all extract, right now, and have been for about five years. I don't really mind the bottling so much, but I guess it's time. Now I've got a bar in the upstairs of my barn and it just seems right to have a keg or three. My hops are doing fine in my back yard, planted about two months ago. They are climbing strings up the back side of my barn(facing east) I've got Cascade and Willamette. The Willamette is a good replacement for Fuggles in my Scottish Ales. At least when I use pellet hops. This will be my first try at whole hops. We'll see how the growing goes, then deal with drying and usage... I might be on Homebrewtalk, I can't remember which one I signed up on several years ago. Quote
greg g Posted May 27, 2012 Report Posted May 27, 2012 Around here they recommend that once they get going to pull all the leaves of to about 5 or 6 feet high. This supposidly helps keep any ground born parasites/insects, molds and fungus from gaining a foot hold as there is no shade for them to hide in and grow. I got an idea from an old metal pipe flag pole I found in my barn. I was going to set it up than using the flag hoist raise a ring that the top of the vines lines would attach to. Then I could lower the vines when harvest time came around. Maybe next year. I was going to grow Fuggles, willament and some cascade. Quote
