Yes its still working great and it seems to be incredibly efficient. I may just have really cold ground water though.

sunscribed! cant wait to see this all come together.

Brewed this about a month ago. 1 week in the primary, 1 week in the secondary and 2 weeks in the bottles. Delicious! You have outdone yourself on this recipe. Gracias.

Any thoughts on this pump. Its on the us solar pumps web site. Seems like it will fit my needs. http://www.ussolarpumps.com/onlinestore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_28&products_id=16 this is the description. at the bottom it says it can be made food grade. We offer 2 TL - C07...

Here's my plan. I have the brackets welded to the sides with bolts going through bi figure with this isometric it should lay flat when raised. It may work? I'm not sure if the kettle mt lt layout is the best but that's all negotiable.

Subscribed! Been designing my own foldaway 3 tier compact. You've got some great ideas on this one. I'll share my drawings when I get a minute. Can't wait to see the final product. Good work.

5.5 gallons of wort. I'd be lying if I said I timed it, but it was around 5 -10 minutes.

I believe wal-mart has them in the camping section for coleman gas lanterns. we use to by them when we were building potato canons. They were the twist (flick). On second thought they may have used a flint. Either way it will definitely make a spark to start a fire.

I wasn't aware that would happen...I hope it doesn't.
