    Racking port location

    I'm currently fabricating a ss fermenter and am wondering if there's an equation for the location of the racking port or if it's just around the centre of the cone. Thanks www.SpecificMechanical.com

    Duda diesel b3-23a plate chiller for 36 gallons?

    I have a 36 gallon BIAB kettle that I'm making right now and am at the stage where I need a wort chiller. I'm just wondering what people think of me using a duda diesel b3-23a plate chiller to chill my wort without a pump (just gravity)?

    Crazy yeast bag idea?

    I'm making a single vessel system (BIAB) and was also hoping on fermenting in the same vessel until I just read about sludge that builds up in the bottom of the fermenter. I've never actually brewed beer before but I work at a place that makes craft brewing systems. Since I'm doing BIAB I don't...

    Started my single vessel brewing system

    Started making my single vessel stainless brewing system. I only have one pic so far but I'll be adding more as I go. It may look a little funny with the flat bar rolled around the edges but that's for the outer cladding to go on for the insulation to go in between.

    Thermowell or thermometer?

    Should I weld a thermowell in or a thermometer? I make and weld thermowells in fermenters all the time but those are for craft breweries from 5-200bbl so I'm not sure what to do

    Single vessel brewing. Anything I'm missing?

    I'm fabricating a 36 gallon pot to do BIAB in. I will be using a 60,000 btu burner and insulating/cladding the sides of the pot. I will also fabricate my own immersion chiller and my own loose fitting lid for fermenting in the same pot. Is there anything I'm missing or should know about before I...

    Should I go electric or propane?

    I'm making a 36 gallon pot to use for BIAB and I'm insulating and cladding it. I don't have good access to a 220v outlet because I rent a basement suite so I'm just wondering if a 110v element or two of them would be enough to bring at most 30 gallons to a boil in an appropriate amount of time...

    Tubular Ring burner

    Anyone know of any good tubular ring burners? I'm making a 36 gallon pot that drains out from the centre and can't use a regular burner cause it will scorch the wort in the drain pipe.. I'm looking for something around 10"-15" dia. I thought about making my own but everyone says it's hard to...

    Fabricating a burner

    I work as a welder/fabricator of craft brewing systems and am currently building a 22" x 22" tank for my own home brewing. I want to drain out from the center of the bottom so I don't think a regular burner would work because there would be an elbow and a ball valve right where the burner would...

    50L keg actually 69L?

    I did the math on the dimensions of a 50L keg and kept getting 69L. What did I do wrong? Or is it just head room?

    Insulation or no insulation?

    So I've had this idea for a while of making a mash tun/ kettle all in one pot using BIAB or stainless basket. I make craft brewing systems as a career so this would just be smaller. I was wondering what people thought about insulating it. It's a 22" diameter by 22" tall flat bottom tank with a...

    BIAB basket instead of bag.

    Why couldn't I make a basket made of the same screen material as a false bottom instead of using a bag for my mash?

    Gasketless fitting?

    I've been thinking of making my own homebrew system since I make brewing systems as a job. I like the concept of the speidel braumeister but I'm not sure how they get a seal between the inner malt pot and the kettle. Can anyone tell me how it's done?

    Double boiler question

    Hey I'm new to home brewing. So new that I don't have a system and haven't made beer yet. I do, although, know a bit about brewing since I weld and fabricate 5 to 300 bbl brewing systems every work day. Since most of our systems are pretty big they're mostly heated with steam jackets. Working...

    Hey from Victoria BC!

    Hey I live and work in Victoria BC. I weld and fabricate custom brewing systems from 5 hectoliters to 300 bbl so I have access to a huge amount of brewing equipment to make my own small system. Just wondering what people think of me making a kettle that would fit on the stove that would be like...
