comment Will there still be yeast leftover for second fermentation after filtration?
Question needs to be reformulated to explain what 2nd fermentation actually is vs carbonation, as well as some of the other good points mentioned here. Downvoted.

comment Why do my airlocks lose liquid?
Heh, thanks much. I buy what is considered a small "bootleg" size with that pour plastic thing on the top. Then I refill it with a handle of the bottomest of the bottom shelf rotgut vodak. :-)

comment Boiling bottle caps
I think the lesson here is "TRUST YOUR SANITIZER". We cannot achieve sterilization but sanitizers are always better than boiling. Residual sanitizer keeps protecting. Boiled items are just as susceptible to infection from airborne sources as others. Trust your sanitizer. If you mix it right and keep it fresh, it won't let you down.

comment Concerns/Considerations for making mead with raw honey?
Downvoted. Sorry, your answer is...not wrong, but off-base considering honey simply isn't susceptible to infections unless you contaminate it.

comment Concerns/Considerations for making mead with raw honey?
Honey is anti-septic due to his hydroscopic nature and high sugar content. Honey was used to treat wounds and preserve food for centuries. There is no danger in using it.

comment What are great grain mills that have variable coarseness such that it can be used for both brewing and making bread flour?
Denny is right. Grain mills for brewing just crack/crush the grain. Making flour is a whole 'nother operation.

comment List of current mini fridge makes/models that will fit 5-gallon kegs?
A suggestion: Look at the kegerator vendors...some of them do conversions, in theory they would show at least a brand you could research.
