Greetings, friends! I've been having trouble with my HLT made with a Rubbermaid 10g cooler. It worked well for many years, but recently has started to leak from the connection point of the bulkhead. I've tried tightening, changing around the fittings, putting in more washers, but nothing wonks...

I purchased a 14 gal SsBrewtech Chronical fermenter about a year ago and every beer I have made since has not come out well. My previous beers, which I fermented in 6 gallon glass carboys, were coming out better and better. Once I introduced the Chronical, however, my beer has off tastes...

I'm curious why you are opposed to using glass marbles.

I wanted to build a Son of a Fermentation Chiller, but I ran into two problems: 1) I live abroad and didn't have access to any sort of insulation. 2) My fermenter is a 14 gal SSBrewtech Chronical. So I made some measurements, collected some wood, found some styrofoam coolers from a local...

I'm building a SOFC as well. I'm looking for a DC adapter for my computer fan. Does anyone have any specific suggestions. I was thinking of getting this one. Thanks!

Okay, I decided to connect the fan directly to the adapter to see if I could get it to run on the wires I selected. It did not run. I stripped all the wires and tried multiple combinations to no avail. Then I realized that my adapter does not say "DC" on it. Yikes! So I found an old adapter...

Hey all. I thought this might be the best thread since I'm building with mostly the same equipment as listed by the first poster. Honeywell Thermostat from Home Depot (Model # CT31A) Insignia 120 mm case fan from Best Buy (assume 12V although does not say) Old Vonage 12V plug I've wired it as...

Looks like this is my only option. My oven only goes down to 170!

This IS very good to know. I almost hit the buy button. I haven't fully determined how I'll run the water through the plate chiller. I was assuming I'd just run it from the sink, but could also push it through with a March pump (I have two). But that would mean filling up a pretty big tank of...

Any other thoughts on this original post? I'm in between the Blichmann Therminator and the equivalent Duda Diesel.

I'm wondering if you ever did this. I'm in the same situation where I'd like my pumps on separate switched outlets. Any updates or pictures would be great.

It's a decent point. Being so small and angling upon entry into the pump casing gave me the impression that they were there to stabilize something and not for oil. But, again, I would also assume that if they were to be removed before using they would have at least put that message on there!

Can you past the link again? It didn't work. Thanks!

I'll look again on the website. I didn't have anything with the pump that indicated how frequently to oil.

Yes, they are both in line with one another. There was nothing that said "remove before operating", so I assumed they must have another function.

Finally got some pumps so I don't have to lift anymore. Dropped my home made 3 tier system into essentially a 1 tier system. Trying the pumps out for the first time today. Wish me luck!

I'm finally getting my brew setup with electric pumps. I unpacked the March pump today and saw that it had two small plastic tubes on the front and back. Does anyone know if these are to be removed before operation? I was surprised that there were no instructions included with the pump. Thanks!

Good points. I do take care of my equipment as if it were a baby. I'm leaning toward the stainless steel. Thanks for the input.

Thanks, Walter. That's good food for thought!

I am having trouble understanding the difference between these two pumps. http://www.homebrewing.org/March-815-Stainless-Steel-Beer-Pump_p_5228.html http://www.homebrewing.org/March-Pump-Center-125-HP-Brewing-Pump-w-cord_p_2918.html I am upgrading my setup to include pumps, and want to...
