I completed my https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=268759"][Basement E-Brewery in 2011]. I had the idea to upgrade my mash tun to stainless. That began this slide down the "slippery slope" and a new name for my project! The plan; to replace the tun with a Ss Brewing Technologies...

I'm adding a third to this; There's a dimple in the edge of the cap. Does the cap pop off or thread? Thanks in advance. Cheers

Have gallons of epoxy in my shop,used for boats and woodworking projects. I was wondering if that might work to pot a heating element. I see that most use JB Weld. Would epoxy work?

I've accumulated enough stuff to get started. My plan is to construct a two panel system. This is mainly because I have been able to salvage a NEMA-1 cabinet from work, and I bought a NEMA-4 Cabinet on E-bay. The NEMA-4 will be on the brewery shelf, serving as an operator station. The NEMA-1...

I am finally starting my E-brewery build: I'm making the boil keggle, and want to install a bottom dump valve. My question is; silver solder a threaded insert to the keg's top opening, flip over and remove the "bottom", or remove the top, as I did for my HLT, and silver solder to the bottom...

I've seen threads stating to add DME to raise low gravity. Is there a rule of thumb? How much extract to raise a given amount?

I have the plans for the electric part of my rig all set. Anyone care to share how their workspace is set up? I'm trying to plan how to layout cleaning and bottling tasks. TIA Steve

I've gathered most of the parts for a single tier all electric rig. I'm good with the electrical details, except, I'm not sure where to locate my immersion sensors. I'm planning to have a HLT with a HEX, Rubbermaid Mash Tun, and a Keggle. I have two March 809's; one for hot water, and one for...

I've been gathering parts for an electric rig. I'm good with the electrical part. How are you all piping systems to allow for cleaning the equipment in place? I'm planning a HERMS in my HLT. Cooler mash Tun, and an electric BK. I have one pump. Thanks in advance..:mug:

I saw a thread that mentioned this idea..Can't find it..Anyone? I have one PID, two sensors, two SSR's. Want to run a RIMS and BK. Thanks!

My friend Jeff from work, a very experienced brewer, helped me with my first A/G batch. I had asked to borrow his Mash Tun and Keggle. He offered to deliver them to me and hang out to help. We decided to do a Porter-ish brew. My grain bill was; 10# domestic 2-row 8-oz Roasted Barley 7.6-oz...

I just finished brewing batch #2, NB Cream Ale. I made some improvements in equipment and, I hope, the results. (I love the tinkering aspect of brewing) For the first batch, I used the kitchen stove to boil. I now have a turkey fryer. The first boil was never what I would call a "full" boil. I...

I just racked my first brew to the secondary. It's an Irish Red Ale from Midwest. I was a bit worried about fermentation, procedure, since it's my first. I started at 1.043 and it was 1.012 when I tested last night. I couldn't resist taking a sip, so I drank what was in my testing flask...

Been interested in brewing for a while now. I've been pouring over this site for weeks! (First delivery, a basic partial extract kit, in the mail.) All of the acronyms used here are getting my brain aching:cross:. Can anyone point me to a glossary, or offer one? I'm already researching an...

A friend at work has been brewing at home for a few years. I've samples many of his brews. He has got me bitten by the brewing bug. My interest is in learning the art of brewing. Thanks, Steve
