So I scored at work today and was given a broken control panel that was used for cooling/cleaning a milk tank. I'm going to convert it to use for fermentation control. I've been using a pi with CraftBeerPi, I'd like to move everything into this box and make it a little bit more fancy. I have 8...

Hey all! I was just thinking about sanitizing my equipment and how much water I waste to sanitizer. I was thinking about cutting down on water waste by attaching a tri clamp heating element to the bottom of my conical and boiling water to sanitize it. That way I could drain the water cool it and...

Ok so I'm planning on setting up a bottling station and would like to use three counter pressure fillers. My question is instead of buying three individual units, can I build one using a manifold (not necessarily a co2 manifold). I drew up the general idea I'm thinking (please excuse the crude...

Hey guys, I recently acquired about 100lbs of what appears they've white wheat.... it came from my wife's friends who I guess used it for bread. They told me it was "whole wheat". Can I use this? Sounds like I could be set up for a $h*t ton of hefs, wits, and wheats.

I just bought two fermwraps for a ss brewtech 14 gallon conical. First problem is they do not fit well but I think I can make it work. Secondly, the setup looks a bit sketchy to me especially when not grounded. Should I be worried about this on a potentially moist metal surface???

Hey all! This has probably been asked before in a different manner but I can't seem to find the exact answer I want. I just started using a mason jar yeast catcher I got from NorCal and so far I love it. Unfortunately my mason jar fills with trub pretty quickly and it needs to be dumped. I would...

Hey everyone I have an idea and wonder if anybody has done it. I have an awesome 1950s frigidaire fridge that I have been using as a kegerator. Problem is that I have since out grown the two kegs that I could fit and would like to add more taps, 5 is the plan. But since I love the fridge so...

I have six weldless bulkheads for sale. They are in good shape, you might need to replace a couple of o-rings. I was using them but decided to have my keggles welded. I payed about 10 bucks each so I would like to get 40 for all of them plus shipping (which should be around 5 bucks) I'm located...

So I know there is probably a bunch of sight glass builds but I thought I would throw another one in. I already had a selfless bulkhead on my keggle with a tee so all I needed was a thread in sight glass and I built it using a piece of clear polycarbonate tubing from Amazon $10 for a 48" piece...

Okay so I have a norwesco 15 gallon tank for my fermenter and I need help with trub collection. The issue I have is I have limited height ability in my fermenter. This forced me to put an elbow before the dump valve on my fermenter. The problem I face now is I want a trub collector on the end...

Hey everyone, I have run into a dilemma that I'm sure someone on here can get me out of. I have an old 1950s frigidaire that I use for a kegerator. It's not a full size but it's not dorm size either. I currently have 3 taps on it and I can put two 3gallon kegs inside and one 5 gallon. The...

Hey all, I just finished building my fermentation chamber and I am exceptionally happy with the outcome except for one thing... My portable air conditioner has to have the power button pushed every time it is connected to power in order to turn on. What this means is the ink bird temperature...

Built my new fermentation chamber in my closet this weekend. Got it to go from 74-50 in about ten minutes. I'm just waiting on my norwesco tanks to get here!! They'll be going in hole cut outs in the drawers.

So I am building my own eHERMS system and have been looking into keeping bulk grain on hand. For my base malts I plan on using either metal trash cans or vittle vaults but for my specialty grains I had the idea of using ammo cans. Like this...

Hey everyone, I am pretty new to the brew world, I am only about 12 batches in. I recently got tired of bottling and built a kegerator using a using a 1950's frigidaire refrigerator. The issue was that this is a pretty small fridge and I can only fit 2 5gal cornies in it. I recently purchased 4...
