I have a propane burner and keggle that I keep as a back up. I use this equipment for club functions when I don't have access to power.

There are shallow electrical boxes that might work. Even available on Amazon but getting one locally would make returns easier if it didn't work out.

I have had mine for years and have recommended it to friends.

I had my driveway blacktopped about 40 years ago and it is still in decent condition. It was a new subdivision so most of us had it done at the same time so I saved about 50%. Those of us with good gravel bases still have good blacktop but the others need to be redone. The base is more...

I have been doing BIAB and EBIAB for about 10 years. I found that low efficiency meant my grind was not right. I check the gap with a credit card every time I use my mill. The other issue I found was that thermometers can be way off. I eliminated that problem when I bought the Thermapen MK4...

I have a Spike 20 gallon kettle like the drawing without the top TC. I upgraded from a keggle since I wanted to be able to do 10 gallon batches. I love the kettle. Cleaning is a breeze compared the the keggle since I can remove the element for cleaning. The 5500 watt element has no problem...

I just use a car wash sponge.

I am using a cheap Amico 40A SSR controlled with a 470k pot. Total cost from Amazon was less than $20. This is hooked up to a spa panel.

My keggle looks similar to yours. I have been doing EBIAB in a keggle for about 5 years. You start out with about 8.5 gallons of water so you end up with about 6 gallons of wort after the boil and grain absorption. I find that in order to do some 10 gallon batches that I replace some 2 row...

I use 10ft 3/16th inside diameter hoses connected to intertap faucets at 12 lbs in a 34 degree keezer with no issues. Since I went to 10ft my issues went away. I have a slower pour without the overcarbonation. I don't have the link but there are several good articles out there.

How long is your hose? Is that a picnic tap I see in the photo? A short hose could cause your problems.

I use the 6 gal Winnpak containters from US Plastics for no chill. They work great when I have frozen hoses or want to start my fermentation at a later date. I have uses the same cubes for 10 years so I know they can handle the heat.

I have mine in a side by side refrigerator. I had my Vienna lager down to 32 after fermentation. Did a closed transfer which went great.

I used a tube bender. Worked great. Must be done before the element is heated.
