Ah, that's good to know. I kept a saltwater reef for a while and know that reef people are pretty paranoid about their water quality, so if they don't have a problem with a big rubbermaid trash can, then I feel pretty good about storing it in at least a plastic water barrel for an extra day...

Any suggestions on storage of ro/di water prior to brewing? Since it usually takes many hours to accumulate enough water to brew, my thoughts were to make it in either a plastic water barrel or possibly a stainless steel drum the night before then pump the quantity I need over to the HLT to...

Yeah, definitely getting pricey, but at least it looks cheaper than the freezer and all the fittings that I have to sneak into the house for these things. :)

Good to know, that keeps me out of trouble.

I don't doubt it cleans well and wish I knew how to calculate it, just would make evaluating which pump to buy easier. Looking on ebay, this would seem like a good buy if I knew something about the quality: 1HP Stainless Steel Jet Shallow Water Booster Pump Pressure Control Controller

Got a question about the pump you listed. I noticed in the specs it was only rated for 18psi but most of the spray balls I've seen are supposed to need 30-60psi. Am I interpreting something wrong?

Main reason for the filter/water bath is to scrub beer aerosol before it gets to the valve, but I can see brewing 15-20 gallon batches at some point in the future.

Been following this thread for years and was hoping I could contribute something. I haven't started brewing yet but am planning out my build. Because of space limitations in the fridge after installing a brewhemoth, I wanted to make something that could fit in the fridge door and be able to...

Anyone heard of upcoming sales for the Brewhemoth? Looks like they usually have one this time the past couple years.

Great stuff!

I think using the heat tape around a RIMs tube is brilliant and have a lot of ideas floating around for using it. My only concern would be the distance through heated pipe that the wort would travel before it got to the sensor, probably not a problem with maintaining heat but could overshoot if...

My thinking was to be able to drain the entire grainbed evenly. Would probably add some legs to raise it off that outer lip just enough so fluid could flow under it.

Jay, Not sure if you have seen this thread, but was curious how much a 19 1/4" non-hinged FB without hole for diptube would cost?

Will the false bottom be 19 1/4" or 14"?
