Meh, not much to tell. I live in Delaware, the Diamond State, and damn near everywhere in the state's either near the Delaware Bay (up north) or the Chesapeak Bay (down south) so I went with Diamond Bay Brewing Co. Also, it looks good on a mash paddle handle.

You, sir. Are amazing.

Thanks for posting guys! I'm looking to do the same thing, a 5500k element, 240v, 30A, single pump, single PID, with dual temp probes (one for BK/HLT, one for MT) which all seems workable from some of PJ's diagrams (thanks, btw! Your work is astounding.) My only alteration is I want a secondary...

not just tinkerers, but mad tinkerers. But, tinker away good sirs! As per Boerderij Kabouter's Simple Brewery/TwentE design, it's a single tier, continuous/no sparge system. (I'll probably get a grant (read; big pot I used when I made smaller batches) and batch sparge from there) Gravity is...

+1 on that! $300 on Blichanns? Yeah, they look purty, but I'm in it to use the stuff, not stare at it. I'm in it for the functionality. A converted keg works fine for me. Yeah, I kinda figured it would take me a while to come up with all the parts. I started gathering my bits and pieces a...

Welcome! I'm in Wilmington, come on out to a First State Brewers meeting. Third Friday of the month, at a different brewer's house every time. Not a competition club, a get-together-and-try-everyone's-brews-and-talk-shop club. Lots of fun. Great people. www.Firststatebrewers.com Where'd...

Thanks, but adding a 3rd keg is what I'm trying to avoid. It adds demand for space, equipment and complexity. Also, I'm trying to stay with reusing the equipment I already have. I already have a keg bk and mlt with weldless fitting that work fine. My main concern is trying to figure out how to...

Wow. I think I've lurked on here long enough. I've been brewing for about two years now. I did a couple extract batches and moved on up to keggle/converted keg/whatever all grain fairly quickly. My problem? I've always intended to eventually brew in my basement rather then out in the elements. I...
