Hey all. Looked at a lot of posts about this and wanted to thank everyone on here for there posts and ideas. I converted a trash can into a portable kegerator for the 4th of July and damn it was a hit!!. Here are the pics. Thank you again everyone on here!! Now how to improve on it...

Sorry i have not replied to this yet. plumber_bob, It worked out perfectly. I started out with the cooler about half way with regular tap water. Ran it for a few minutes and it took about 3-4 minutes to get it down to 160. After that i drained out the hot water, added in about a few...

Will do thank you for the input. I already know I have to do mods after a test run. But will do a smash on Sunday to try it out. Don't want to spend too much on a batch for it to ruin it.

Well. Moved to an apartment with no outside access to running water so I built this. I have looked at a lot of different plans and ideas on here so thank you everyone!!!! This is the plan. And don't want to carry 8 gal of hot wort 70 feet to the apartment. Fill with normal running water and...

Thanks all I appreciate it. The box is a 7.62 bulk ammo can.

Nothing fancy but does the job.

Agreed with every ones posts. All of us has there own techniques to do this. Depends on equipment grain bill ect.. Myself I do infusion mashes. 5g batches with a Circle cooler and a bazooka screen. however. I'll add in 1/2g of (168 degrees) water and get my grains nice and wet. It gets to 114...

Wanted to hard line the gas pipes with ball valves

Hey all, For those that use gas burners what line (either flex or pipe) including ball valves do you use? I have a 3 tier. Two high pressure burners with two separate regulators attached. Just being a pain to keep switching back and forth. I have so little knowledge on the subject and don't...

Mine. Not fancy but does the job!. Just have the kettle on top for pic. The HLT burner frame is moveable for storage on bottom shelf. Going to re-tweek it though.

I see alot of people using the yellow flex tube from BrassCraft. Which one is ok for LP and which ball valve do you guys use?. Just wondering because I have a balk valve but it only says 1/2 psi on it...

Yes a step or uni bit is the best way to get a clean cut hole. Will go through aluminum nice and softly. And as long as you don't apply a lot of downward pressure a 18v drill will work just fine. Just go slow.

Thank you all for the information. I really appreciate! v/r Mike

Was wondering if anyone has done this. After adding yeast and before sealing it. Could you take a sample, put it in a 12 oz bottle with foil over it. And just use that as you want to check your hydrometer readings? Won't have to worry about opening primary since you have a sample already. And of...

Glad you got it too work!!

If you had the lines done at a shop then in my most humble opinion... ask them. They will give you the true answer

I mentioned this because gas line can be either LP or NG. Which are not interchangeable with fittings unless its for NG to LP. Natural gas actually has a low psi that a propane tank. Again if I'm wrong fill me in. Getting info from my fad a who's been in construction for 30+ years. Again he...

Also check for burs on the flair and threads on both connections

Check the labels on the gas line. I know parts of the gas lines are only connected to flare male connectors. If this is the case no tape is necessary and will cause a slight leak if tape is used. Check the inside of the gas line. If it also flaired out the the flare male connector will work if...

Hahaha this was too funny. Being from Cali.... currently stationed In Texas I've seen so many products you can buy that only have that warning..... hmmmm maybe Feinstein knows something us from Cali don't?? :D
