Count me in!

I see this now. Sorry for my rant above. I'd say: -Ditch the bucket. Your lid might not be sealing tightly and letting oxygen in. Also, too many places for bacteria to hide in scratches. Get a bubbler or better bottle or glass carboy (love glass myself). It sounds like it could be in the...

Ok. I haven't read through all the responses but let's just dive into it. First, you need to be able to describe what you are tasting, what are your fermentation temps, what water are you using, what is your FG on a given beer, etc. EQUIPMENT: -If you have equipment with threaded fittings, I...

Do you still have his instructions or a PDF of his entire build? I'm mainly looking for the control panel instructions, wiring, and programming. Any help or links would be appreciated since the URL took a crap! Thanks

I'm in! You got to love SS. Thanks for your support. Us homebrewers much appreciate it! :rockin:

Here is my triple fed immersion chiller for an electric system. You can find the build here. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f255/electric-herms-custom-immersion-chiller-build-488144/

***UPDATE TO BELOW*** I changed my process a bit. I got rid of the pre-chiller and used a garden house "Y" fitting to have 2 separate feeds into the inlet of the IC (one for tap water and the other from a sump pump put in my HLT filled with several bags of ice and about 13 gallons of water)...

That is awesome. I just built a Hydra type chiller, or triple fed immersion chiller for my electric HERMS system and posted my build (see link below) https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/electric-herms-custom-immersion-chiller-build-488144/ I hope to get similar results that have been posted on...

I soldered a fitting that is 1/2 (soldered)x 3/4 male pipe thread. Then I bought a 3/4 female pipe thread x hose brass fitting. Note one brass fitting is female hose and the other is male. You can get all this at your big box stores. I got mine at Home Depot in the plumbing section. Sent from...

Ha! Thanks. Let's just hope it works and chills like I think it should. The triple feed tubing I hope pays off. I'm hoping to test it soon. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

This is part of the reason I'm going to immersion chiller, no cleanup among other reasons. I listed those reasons along with my custom triple fed immersion chiller, similar to the Hydra, in the this section. I like the design and customer service I got from Jaded on answering my questions...

I'm going to preface this post by saying that I own a Blichmann Therminator counterflow chiller for a few years, and I've been happy with it. I recently built a new HERMS system with the goal of ditching propane (cost of gas and tired of storing multiple tanks) and getting rid of many threaded...

I'm in.... that is some sweet SS! :mug:
