I was previously using a DIY chiller made from a window AC unit. It worked but was loud and not very efficient. I got a deal on an aquarium chiller so I planned out a new build. It has 2 closed circuits to independently cool 2 fermenters Spike 10 conical that I typically fill to 14gal and a...

I got one of those large colman white coolers they use on charter fishing boats. It's a big boy. I normally make my cooler manifolds out of 1/2" CPVC. Anyone make manifolds from 3/4" size???

My system has been running for years. This last brew day my primary boil circuit when turned out had a loud vibrating/hum noise coming from the contactor. My other circuits were fine, so I continued to brew. The noise was the same even when I had no load on the circuit. Is this as simple as...

I have one of the typical AC unit type chillers with a cheap plastic cooler. Been working for years. Now I want to build a "better" more efficient one. Should I get a better cooler? Or can I insulate a cheap one? Like spray foam in the lids and sides? Or what is a cheap brand of a decent...

I have a chiller and am getting another one. It would be nice to ferment in my Sanke kegs with a simple coil that fits through the standard keg hole with the spear removed. I looked on BrewHardware.com - High end, practical homebrewing hardware, accessories and ingredients for making beer...

I have been homebrewing over 20 years... I got plenty of ingredients and lots of equipment. Can I pull off a beer on tap by Thanksgiving? "Hazy Pale Ale" Big yeast stater Lots of late addition whirlpool hops. I can carb a beer over night... Carb stones and stuff. Thoughts?

I kill my RIMS element after I stir or disturb the mash, then turn back on when its "clear" This is my RIMs tube on a 21gal kettle, any suggestions to add a sight glass that can hold up to the weight of the RIMS? I have this style on my chiller, maybe that is good enough?

I had to get the instructions and double check what I can't do. Seems real odd to limit it like this. What I want to do 100min total timer 45 min boil 15min addition 20min whirlpool 20min whirlpool But I cannot set 20min after I set 15min. And if I read it correct, if I do 15min and 15min and...

What I thought I could do, and what it actually can do might not be the same. Would like to have programed the mash steps to also include output power. But looks like I can't do that. I wonder if when I am in "HOLD" mode on the program, mPRG m1S 165. m1t SKIP Skip step to sync alarm m2S 165...

5500W ULD, I think Stainless element in my RIMS tube. I goofed and blew it out yesterday. I really just use it to heat mash water, then maintain mash temps. A few times I attempted to step up from mash temp to mash-out temp. 152 to 168 If I want to get more into step mashes should I look...

When I bought my stout mash tun I skipped their sparge device. I read that the flow required to make it work was to much flow to fly sparge. So I went with locline and batch sparged for the past 7 years. I see they have a Vorlauf tube now. Anyone with a Stout mash tun, what are you using???

I have had these for years, only use pellet hops and just let the hops and trub into the fermenter. Just wondering what others are doing.

I have these mechanical switches for my pumps. I brew alot and use these switches alot. They keep getting loose/worn out and have replaced once already. I like the lighted option, so need that. Are the push button types more robust? Or do I just need a different brand of mechanical switch?

System has been running for 5 years no issues. With 1 element one, pulls 24amps Other element pulls 24amps With both on and pump running 48.5amps Notice my power cord hot. End of plug a bit melted. Outside receptacle warm My breaker and panel are not even warm. Any thoughts on what to look for.

I have been brewing for some time. Bought some 2019 509Hops at the end of 2020. They were all sealed and I stored them in the freezer when I got them. 12gal batch of NEIPA dry hop schedule was 6oz and 6oz (Citra/Mosiac/Ekunaut) I got nothing for flavor/aroma. Just opened the 1lb bag of...

I have a 3 element system, with cutoffs to allow 2 to run at a time. I brew alot... 2-3times per month, 20gal at a time. These SSR's, which were just whatever was on Ebay are all original. Yesterday one was not firing the element. I have a panel light that lights when the SSR fires, I was...

Looking for suggestions to increase airflow in tower and keezer. Just a 120mm fan? Or do I need tubing.

Any clue how to contact them? Is this normal. My calibrated thermometer shows the kegs are 21F, they are also frozen. Inkbird probe taped to side of same keg shows 48F

$10 each for everything except electric items. $25 for electric items. Plus shipping/paypal

I own one of these and for the most part my kegs are empty in a hour or so at a party. Which the hand pump is fine. Just wondering if anyone converted the clamp on hand pump to a miniCo2 tank, like paintball.
