Looking for a glycol chiller. In Chicago IL. M

It's been almost 2 years since I put together my small footprint eBIAB setup for use in my city condo (see link below for build), but we've now had our second kid, bought a new house, and moved. After tackling life and a bunch of projects around the house, its time to get back into the groove...

PM me. In Chicago. M

Used once and in like-new condition. With our second child just arriving, I am not getting enough use out of it and it’s taking up space. Sad day. Nice piece of kit though! Passivated stainless, all sanitary welded ports, valves included, ready out of the box for hookup to a temp...

I’m looking for a pump I can mount directly to the kettle that’s more durable than the cheap brown solar pumps(which I already have). The Unibrau V3 has a kettle-mounted pump with a center inlet and stainless head. It looks like the Keg King MKII? Can anyone confirm? I have a chugger but...

Time to rebuild the brewery from the ground up. Life happens fast. With another kid now on the way, I’ve lost my “office”/brewery storage and am forced to downsize from my 3V propane-fired HERMS (Condo Brewing V1.. moment of silence) to a more accommodating eBIAB. You can see my previous setup...

Hi all, I am trying to find a draft beer system that I can install in an awkward space that won’t fit a kegerator or fridge. I am thinking a glycol chiller (not just beer line cooling but keg and line chilling) is my only option. We recently bought a new house with some quirks. Next to our...

3 weldless keggles (HLT, MT, and BK) all leak free for sale. Need to downsize from my propane 3V HERMS and building a new eBIAB from ground up. Also have Chugger pump, 10gal BoilCoil, and other miscellaneous items for sale. Let me know if you need something. The prices below include all...

Anyone build an insulating sleeve for their mash tun or fermenter? I am looking to build a durable sleeve for my new eBIAB kettle. I currently use Reflectix bubble wrap on my mash tun in the old 3V setup. I’d like to go to a more “permanent” option or something that I wouldn’t have to worry...

I've been pulling together a build list for a new recirculating eBIAB setup (5gal/120v). In this next kit, I'm looking to address the little things that probably fall into the "prefer" rather than the "need" category. (My current build list includes Custom Spike kettle w/ welded fittings, TC...

Anyone use Front Panel Express or some other supplier of custom panels or enclosures for their brew controllers? Any recommendations? Cheers, M

I'm transitioning from a fermentation chamber to a glycol cooling system using a converted mini fridge with a freezer compartment as a chill source. I had read a few comments on this approach on these forums but nothing that provided much detail on build or examples. I'll keep this thread...

After some upgrades to the setup, I have the following items up for sale. I am in Chicago and prefer pickup but will ship the Tower of Power controllers at buyer's expense (will not ship glass carboys). I am willing to include a carboy with the purchase of ToP controller at asking price. $400...

Located in Illinois. PM me if you have one for sale. Also looking for FTSs. Cheers. M

I am building a DIY glycol chiller. It will need to sit in a common room of our home as that is where the fermenters currently sit. If I go the hacked AC glycol chiller route, does anyone have a recommendation on an enclosure that the combined AC/cooler/temp control contraption can fit into (or...

I want to be able to lager, crash chill, and ferment more than one batch at the same time. But I only do 5gal batches and am having a hard time putting down $1k for a turn key chiller alone. I'd prefer glycol given a lack of space for several ferm chambers but I do have an ability to stack my...

Let me know if you have one new or used. I live in Illinois and can pickup but may also be willing to have it shipped. I will also be looking for a wine/beverage fridge to put it in (glass door preferred). M

There are so many ideas and sources of inspiration floating around these forums, I decided I should share my journey over the past few months... Have a condo in the city (Chicago) without a dedicated space for the brewery (but we do have a patio). I started running all propane but struggled...

Building a controller for my system to be run through CraftBeerPi. I have 4 SSR which will control pumps (120v) and RIMS heating element. My issue is that an enclosure I have now is too thin (given some other obstructions) to mount the SSRs to the typical heat sinks that come coupled with them...
