    Need some help - fermentation temperature controller.

    Pipe wrap is a fine idea. I do need to figure out where the temperature losses are, but I'm guessing that giant stainless steel bell end is working as a very effective heat sink to keep the temps high. I thought this solution would be far more effective than it is though. One thing I did...

    Need some help - fermentation temperature controller.

    Here's my setup: Spike brewing CF5 (No jacket yet, it's coming today.) I have their cooling coil with two 3/8" stems coming from the top. From this I am drawing two 3/8" PVC lines into a small dorm fridge (retired kegerator) Inside I have a small basin of water/propylene glycol (around a...

    It works fine if you filter the hops out somehow. For now I am just using a hop bag so I can remove them after flame out. Later I'll put in a screen or something. But yes, gravity is fine. I may add a pump but really, life is complicated enough.

    tell me, what is the metal skin around your burners made of? I have some heat bleed that I intend to contain but my old man and I couldn't decide what material might be best for this.

    Stovetop 110v single vessel system

    lolwut. "electricity" doesn't just happen. It comes from here, for most of us: Electric is only more _convenient_ - it is rarely more efficient. Certainly not as a heat source. And of course, _nothing_ is 100% efficient, nor can it be.

    Stovetop 110v single vessel system

    Maybe I've misunderstood you, but gas is more efficient AND cheaper than electric when used as a heat source.

    Old thread I know, but a friend and I were talking. being that I live in SE Wi the temps can drop below 0 for long periods of time. Something like this might work just fine to keep the temps correct, during the winter months...

    Attention Wisconsin Brewers!!!!

    Remember that the next time your friend says it's a waste of time to interact with politicians. You can make a different, no matter how trivial this law may be to many people. (I've contacted my 2(3) by the way)

    Cleaning beer bottles....

    the little adapter didn't fit my faucet, I took it over to the local hardware store and they had adapters behind the desk (not home depot, they're useless) The sprayer is the ****. Also, I have one of those vinninators for sanitation. Totally worth the money. And I have a strict policy...
