Re: 3:1:1:1

3:1:1:1:1 is not really correct either, it is 3 parts sand by volume of the cementious ingrediants, and lime is considered a cementious ingredient, so the actual ratio is: 6:1:1:1.

Ive always thought that the home brew was a very strong brew, but not having used it couldnt say for sure, thanks for clearing that up.

He is correct for an appliance in the house, only because no one has paid to have homebrew tested.

What type of lime should I use in the home brew mortar recipe also what are some quick pros/cons on refractory vs home brew both are available besides cost of course. One note in my area our local mason supply house said that using a homebrew mix is not code any longer for firplaces and would not recomend it for pizza ovens of course I trust the forum more than him just wanted to get some advice and thoughts.
I will be using the mortar for behind the firebricks on assembly of dome
