Everything you need for brewing. This setup was used like 3-4 times a year and worked perfectly for making awesome beer. I ended up using this for ease and efficiency after spending years using a single tier/3 kettle system. Reason selling is because im not drinking much beer anymore and life...

Since I haven't brewed in awhile, I'm just cleaning out my garage. I bought this awhile back and never got to actually use it. It's a nice size Oxygen tank with CGA 540 fittings so you can get this filled at any gas shop and attach a standard oxygen regulator. Once filled, it'll last you years...

I just posted on the local (Los Angeles) CL. 1. Oxygen tank with CGA 540 fitting. Tank use to be medical and comes with the standard regulator fitting so you can fill it up at any gas filling store. $50 2. 50 plate, plate chiller by Keg Cowboy. Perfect condition. $60 3. 50 feet immersion...

In the 3+ years of brewing, I've never had this happen to me. I consider myself in pretty good shape (workout regularly, etc) but yesterday after brewing and lifting various kettles, MLT w/wet grains, and finally the 6g carboy+beer, I pulled my lower back muscle. I had a tough time sleeping and...

I wanted to gauge my water volume in my HLT and wanted to make something super simple and something that, if I were to mess up, I wouldn't destroy an expensive SS kettle. There are a few options that people are using such as drilling for a weldless fitting, 9V+vinegar to make markings, etc. I...

After reading several articles about quickly cooling your wort down to 140F to minimize DMS, I decided to do it for my last couple of brews. I had to use an IC to get the wort down fast then whirlpool then hook my hoses up to a CFC to cool it the rest of the way. I can't tell if there have been...

The 10 gallon one has been sold. I have a 15 gallon Polarware Brewrite SS kettles. These are the heavy duty ones, not the economy ones. It'll come with a ball valve and a 1/2" plug. The 15 gallon has a small dent on the bottom corner (seen in pic 3), which was delivered that way but has no...

I'm currently in the process of upgrading to a larger setup, I was wondering how fellow homebrewers clean their larger kettles, 15g or 30g?Obviously, the HLT needs minimal cleaning but how do you clean the BK and MLT without removing it from the stand?

So I'm treating myself this xmas to a new higher end kettle. I put an order already for the 15 gallon brewers hardware BK with the 2 outlets + tangential inlet. I got an email back from them saying that the temp port will be too high for 5 gallon batches (6-7 gallon pre boil). I've only done 5...

I'm buying a SS tube from mcmasters to use as a wand because I already have a stone with the 1/4" barb and didn't want to buy another aeration setup. I'm looking at ID for tubes and they have one that's 0.257" which will fit perfectly if the stone's barb is exactly 0.25" (1/4"). Since I don't...

My brutus stand was built without those cross braces to hold up my kettle which was just sitting on my heatshield. Now that I've moved my heatshield down a bit (had flame going back down issues) I have nothing holding up my kettle. The opening is 13.5" and my kettle is a little smaller in...

A couple of years ago, my wife bought me a 5 gallon untreated oak barrel. I was going to age something in it but never got around to it so it's been sitting dry as decoration. Now I'm thinking of putting something in it for fun but haven't found much info in the recipes section using a 5 gallon...

I bought a CFC secondhand (originally bought from Northern Brewer). It's the one with the straight ends, I believe, designed to just use hoses with. I'd like to use my cam locks on it so I went to HD to find 1/2" MPT adapters or compression fittings. Since it's a strange size, non of the...

I'm thinking of buying some SS T-304 sheets to make various heat shields for my kettles, brewstand, march pump, etc. Does anyone know what gauge I should get (26, 24, 22 gauge)? I need it to obviously withstand heat from my burners but also I'll be cutting these sheets at home with tin sheers...

I've been using a 10g igloo for about a year now and it's been fine, efficiency...ehh....SG.....sometimes hit it.....beer....always good to me. As with most of you, I'm itching to upgrade so I'm thinking of going to a HERMS setup (new MT and drilling out my BK). Has anyone regretted with the...

My stand consists of 3 23 tip burners (3 tips plugged) and heat shields. The heat shields pretty much go all the way up so my kettles are actually sitting on them and come down to about 1/2" above my burners. Everytime I brew, alot of the flame comes back down and out from underneath the shield...

I have a single tier Brutus type stand and I've painted it with flat black engine paint and everytime I use it, paint starts to peel around and underneath my kettles. I've tried repainting it and even put my kettles on metal grates instead of directly on the stand and the paint still peels. It's...

I'm sure this was posted elsewhere but when I was searching for chiller efficiency, I had a tough time finding approximate water consumptions with various chillers. When I first started a couple of years ago, I, like most of you used an immersion chiller only. I was filling up to 10 x 5 gal...

To make a short story long....I brewed the Stone Enjoy By clone a few months ago and added my flame out hops, swirled it around with a spoon a few minutes and then drained the kettle into a plate chiller to cool. The bazooka in the kettle filtered almost everything coming out. Well, although the...

I'm in the process of building my brutus-type single tier stand. I was wondering how often everyone uses their middle burner, the one for your MLT, and is it necessary? Will firing up the burner have any adverse effects on the mash?
