Nothing crazy... But nothing simple. Sorry I didn't stage my area fellas and fellettes! They speak for themselves.... The single tap tower is about to get a new wooden tower with 2 taps this weekend.
Pics or it didn't happen... I know!
As promised some days ago...
Uses the PWM linked previously by someone else via Amazon. 50A gfci breaker etc. Unplug the dryer, plug in the box, and bam! Works flawlessly for me for 5 and 10 gal batches. Going to knock out the other front plates and add another 80mm fan to cool the PWM. Love...
I recently built out an electric system to what I believe you're trying to do. I too was unable to put in any more breakers (which sucks) so I had to use my dryer outlet.
I can dial down for 5 gallons when needed and boil up to 12 with no problem.
I'd love to (and been meaning to) share some...
You notice the two 2.5 gal kegs mounted sideways in the plane in Fast & Furious 7. And immediately think, "Da fuq!? Can't dispense beer... Wait those aren't qui... What's... Just WTF!?"
That's pretty crazy. I built my own black box before ever seeing this thread (built 3 diff versions previously). The $55 price tag is awesome considering I built mine for about $40 total not pricing for labor like the black box would include. I also am using a straight cord not the 90° one...
There's a gasket that's food grade foam type. NB sells replacements, but I might make or find my own silicon one.
Haven't measured exactly where 5 gallons lands, but it close to the level of beer in my pic. Def not to the neck.
It's shorter and wider than a 5 gal carboy. 17 5/8" tall and 12...
I guarantee you could push with CO2 if you were gentle. 3/8" hole in the top to run a stainless racking cane etc and boom. I'd do it right now just to show it can be done... But I still siphon :'(

So just got my 6.5 gallon BMB. On first sight, it's as glorious as I imagined. Immediately stuck my arm in to touch the bottom. My heart went a flutter. Needless to say I think we've all read about the pros and potential cons. I'm posting this to show my resolve to the whole blow off conundrum...
So I got mine yesterday and am brewing as we speak to fill it. So far, I'm never using anything else. I'm planning on writing a review both for on here and NB's website. How did these not exist before?!

Used a refractometer AND let a sample cool and measured with a calibrated hydrometer. 15.75 lbs mashed at 154 with 5.5 gallons sparged with 4.5 gal. Boiled 6.6 gallons to about 5.5. I worked at my LHBS so I go in and weigh and mill my own grains. All correct. There's no way I got above 90%...
Designed a recipe based on a clone and getting 75% efficiency. I use Brewology101 for ball-parking my recipes. Here's the pertinent stuff>>
11.5 lb Pale Ale malt
3 lb Vienna
12oz C60L
10oz Aromatic
At 75% efficiency it calculated an OG of 1.075. Well after all said and done I...
