I find the 9gph gives me warm water, but 6gph is too hot to hold a hand under. If you're discharging into PVC, then you will want to run cooler. Anything above 130-140F will melt PVC glue, and also warp pipe. Have seen pictures of brewery sink drains that are sagged and had to be replaced due to...

Ball Lock, thanks for the competition!

Seems inline. I have a 24 gallon BK and have around .5-.75 gph boil off with 5500w element @ 31-32%. I set the high alarm to 209f and set temp to 212 on auto mode. Then click over to manual mode when alarm kicks on. I set to 32% and starts to low vigor boil. Takes a bit of fine tuning depending...

I was wondering about that as well, was looking for a sanitary tee like they have in pvc but nobody makes one in tc form. Have seen the double 90 but it would kick the hops directly towards the condenser side of things. Will try next brew day and report back on findings both with, and without a...

Yeah I was going to try without a clamp and hope the suction will keep it closed. I have some extra stainless laying around so could try to rig up some extra weight on the cap. I’ve tried taking the elbow and steam condenser off instead of lifting the lid and can second that it’s super hot when...

Has anyone ever done an H configuration like this for their hop additions? Heavy lid and hot steam are the thought process around not lifting at all during the boil. Will weld a ring onto the cap to make for east removal and then use a wide-tip long funnel to not only get past the tee section...

I found 3/4 on Amazon it’s done well so far. Silicone Tubing, 3/4" ID x 1" OD - 10 Feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079WRWH34/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_DFHA4556W4S3QWZ1PNSD?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 used 7/8 fittings from Affordable Distillery Equipment, LLC and don’t need hose clamps even with...

Late post, but brewed Joe Dragon's Augustiner Munich Helles a couple weeks ago for the second time in a month. Was the fastest start of fermentation I've ever had. Straight on to yeast cake of prior batch that was kegged during second batch boil so was very fresh. 4 hours later, furious...

Selling a homebrewing setup with 3x keggles. HLT has pickup tube that leaves almost nothing when draining. Also has return arm for recirculating. Mash Tun is insulated with 4x reflectix wraps around side, and insulated bottom. Has insulated lid cover. Works very well. Holds constant temperature...

Hey Flounder21 or jeffcosgrove. I've gotten a Frigidaire with the same kind of LCD display. Where was the wiring located? Center, or to the right side of the door where it comes in from the hinge location? Have tap marks lined up but don't want to drill into the wiring if I can avoid it.

Hey Revvy, Just wanted to shout out kudos to you for a great recipe! I just brewed 10 gallons a few months back and tapped around a month and a half ago. Down to around 0.5 gallons in the second keg. Have the neighbors asking to buy materials so that I can make it again it turned out so well!

Here's the Munich Helles I recently brewed. Thanks to your fine recipe BierMuncher! This beer had the entire neighborhood talking and wanting more. Cheers for an awesome recipe. 10 gallons gone in around a month after first tapped. Overshot the OG because I didn't know the BH Efficiency of...

Here's a clone of Revvy's Vienna Lager I brewed up a couple months back. New birthday glass, Life is Good.

I just found this thread and recently brewed my first Lager. A German Helles (slightly out of style @ around 6.2% because I forgot to account for BH efficiency).. But now have to let everyone know to go slowly as they're used to the BMC and can't handle anything that is over 4-5%. I haven't...
