      Hi guys,
      
      I'm trying to find some cubes for no-chill in Portugal. Are all HDPE food grade cubes usable? Some say that only support 80ºC.
      
      Thanks :)

      That is a pretty definitive answer :)

      Hi guys,
      
      I'm converting a 30L keg into a BIAB pot, and I'd like some recommendations on what recipe should I begin with.
      
      I love Belgian Strong Ales, is it possible to start with one of these without problem?
      
      Thanks :)

   3. Best way to transfer to cube

      Hi guys,
      
      I couldn't find the answer to my question.
      
      What's the best way to transfer the boil to the cube? Is it safe to use the tap in my Pot? Should I use a hose in it? Or let the boil drop directly to the cube?
      
      Thanks :think:

      I use a 1m length of silicone hose attached to the ball valve on my keggle to transfer to the cube. The valve itself is capable of being fully disassembled and is cleaned thoroughly after every brew day

      That's a very nice reply Tsar and it is a real credit to you that you bothered to spend the time studying/reading my last post above.
      
      There are some remarkable analogies between three-vessel brewing/BIAB and commercial software/the BIABacus. Hopefully there are many others like you who realise that the best advice is rarely found in a single or few short sentences.
      
      Gotta race sorry but before I go...
      
      There are lots of errors in popular commercial software that I have not mentioned above....

   5. CO2 regulator from Hong Kong?

      Hi guys,
      
      I'm starting to think of kegging my beer, and I'm looking for parts prices. Is this CO2 regulator usable?
      
      I know it's not the best choice, but it's the cheaper to start with.
      
      Thanks

      Tsar,
      i had used a regulator designed for welding when i first started kegging. i didn't work very well and was very frustrating. i would not recommend cutting corners with this specific item.
      have you tried onclick= window.open(this.href);return false; ?
      
      Wise words there Shib,
      
      I consider these sort of purchases as long term investments. I know that cost can be an issue if you are on a budget but paying more for a quality item that will definitely do the job as intended is always better in...
