    One thing I noted. The part that typically clogs up it right when it goes into the heater. There is a little metal plug (not really a plug since it has a hole in it) most probably to create back pressure or to limit the amount of water goes to the heater. it has a small hole that gets...

    After tediously making a stainless steel grain bin and using SS perforated, I ended up with too much grain getting into the step filter and clogging. I ended up just putting a bag inside the grain bin. Problem solved. Knowing what I know now. I would not have build it the way I did. It only...

    nope. I have 4 of them and they are all built like crap. The picobrew one the gauge got stuck after the first use. I started buying them with external gauges that I could replace.

    Drilling hole in side of chest freezer?

    I avoided drilling and put 2 towers on the top. The chest freezer I have does not have a hump it it. so I am able to fix 7 maybe 8 kegs with the C02 tank inside. I had a butt pucker moment while drilling the 4 self tapping screws to mount the Valve rail

    I actually have to pull the display board out of my Pico Pro. I have an issue that causes steam to get behind the board and causes the machine to crap out mid brew. Last time it happened I removed the screws and pulled the board away from the machine and hit it with some canned air to dry it...
