Sold

Update 4/11 - price drop, looking to sell asap, make an offer! I'm moving and selling everything if possible. The electric HLT and pump runs on a standard 15a outlet, the 20g kettle is a converted Bayou Classic, the MLT is an insulated SS Brewtech. I am looking for local pickup in north/central...

Would this setup work with a 2000w 120v element? If not, what changes would need to be made. I'm converting a kettle to a eHLT, still going to boil with my Blichmann burner and mash in a cooler (for now). I think this might work for good way to heat strike/sparge water.

That's a great looking system.. Kegs look amazing!

It will most likely be fine. I have the same cooler and it developed a bubble that runs vertically nearly the entire length on the inside and is raised about 1/2-3/4". I've brewed probably 60+ batches with it like that and it hasn't cracked or gotten worse.

If it's the brewers edge 40 QT then I have the same one. I haven't measured the volume full, but I have boiled starting with 8.5 gallons and there was still a bit of room left.. I just eyeballed it with my homemade volume/sight stick thingy and it looks like it will hold just over 10 gal...

I bought 4 from them also, plus a stout faucet.. they are fricken awesome!

I have been looking at tables like these to put an electric HLT and cooler MLT on. The one in the link above is pretty nice, $125 shipped is a good deal. :mug:

Looks good, thanks for posting that!

I have been looking at those (amongst many others). How do you like it? It seems like a great deal

I would go bigger as well. I shoot for 5.5 gal into the fermenter and I have a 10 gallon pot. If I brew a beer with a 90 min boil I'll start with about 8.5 so It's pretty close. So yeah for a couple extra bucks I'd have to agree with everyone else :mug: Oh yeah and I'm looking at getting a...

I have been considering one of these as a boil kettle.. Without all the extra stuff I have seen them at $170ish. A couple days ago I found the pot with valve only (and lid of course) for the same price. Seems like a very solid pot for the $$...

I made one out of maple too. I didn't treat it with anything... just sanded it smooth. It works great! :mug:

I Lager in the keg (while force carbing) and have noticed a great deal of improvement in the beer over time. By week 4-6 in the keg I feel like it's at it's peak deliciousness. This for me means the beer is around 3 months old. My process is diacetyl rest as active ferm is winding down. Bring...

Badah bap ba baam... I'm lovin it :D
