    Looking for ideas for a new kegerator

    I have a very unique opportunity to create a unique kegerator and I am looking for ideas. The important part is that my wife has signed off on the idea and while she thinks I a bit odd, she is supporting this idea. We have a 15+ yr old dishwasher that we both hate and to be honest, I couldn't...

    Does anybody have CAD data for a Monster Mill MM2? I'm specifically looking for mounting hole locations (the 4 1/4-20 bolts that go into the side frames) as well as the drive shaft location. Thanks!

    Kentucky Brew Bag for cooler

    I've upgraded my mash system and I now have an unneeded BrewBag (brewinabag.com) made to fit an Igloo Extreme 52 quart cooler. The interior of the cooler measures 24" x 12" (at the top of the opening) and is 13" deep. The bag is stained from brewing stouts, but it will not have any effect on...

    Looking for a hose clip thingy....

    I'm just finishing up my mash tun 2.0. Moving from a blue cooler up to a 82 qt stainless pot. I utilize a RIMS system (Bobby's RIMS tubes rock) and a voile filter bag. On mash tun 1.0, I initially had a bulkhead installed on the back wall of the cooler where the recirc hose from the RIMS...

    Kentucky 7.1 ft Haier freezer with collar

    Figidaire Upright 14ft Freezer

    I just scored a really nice LFFU14F5HWS upright 14 ft freezer off Craigslist for $100. I am getting ready to drill a hole for temperature probes. Does anybody have any guidance as to where it is safest to drill?

    Getting ready to replace my mash tun

    I"m currently using a RIMS setup with a cooler for a mash tun. The cooler is getting pretty funky and I would like to replace it with stainless. I like to simplify while I upgrade and was curious as to why I don't see more bottom draining mash tuns. This would allow me to get rid of the dip...

    Bev-Seal Ultra leak?

    OK, I am at a loss as to what is going on in my keezer. I have 20ft lines with John Guest fittings. Things have been going well until the past week or so. When I try to pull a beer from one of my taps that hasn't been used in the last 24 hours, I end up with 1" beer and the rest of the pint...

    Bru'n water stout help

    I am preparing to venture into the world of stouts and porters (have been brewing mostly pale ales, ESBs and blonde ales). I have my water chemistry down and can brew my house beers very repeatably. When I first entered my recipe for a chocolate stout, I saw that I had to do some crazy...

    Looking for fermenter ideas for 10 gallon batches

    I'm getting ready to make the jump to 10 gallon batches for the brews I always keep on tap. My wort production equipment is up to the task, but I realized I have an issue on the fermentation side. My original plan was to buy a new 15.5 gallon Sanke. My fermentation chamber is a 7 cu ft chest...

    Thermowell vs Taping Probe to Outside

    I recently switched my fermentation freezer over to a BrewPi from an STC1000 based controller. At the same time, I added a thermowell to my 30L Speidel fermenter. Previously, I had just been taping my probe to the outside of the fermenter and covering it with a piece of 1/2" packing foam. The...

    Bru'n Water Grain classifications

    I'm a new convert to Bru'n water and after working with it for a little bit, I have gotten the hang of it. I have been searching for some direction of grain classifications without luck. It is pretty easy to classify 2-row as base grain and C40 as a crystal. Where I am running into some...

    Bru'n Water - RO vs Distilled vs DI

    I have finally given up on my local water supply. I live in a small town with it's own water system which draws from multiple sources. My water chemistry varies by month and by amount of recent rainfall. I've realized that I am chasing a moving target and made the decision to go ahead and buy...

    I've got quite a few of pressure tested ball lock with PRVs and I am looking for some 1/4 slim sankes I can use for fermenters. I don't need the spear to be present.

    Automated mashtun

    One of the more frustrating parts of my brew day has always been the time it takes to get my mash tun preheated and the water at the correct temp for mashing in. I'm a firm believer in having devices wait on me instead of the other way around. This project started as a way to fix that issue...

    Kentucky Parts for ElectricBrewery heater enclosure

    I tore down my electric keggle yesterday and rather than toss some of the parts into my parts box, I thought I would list them here. Included is the 2 gang outdoor box with 2 covers. One cover is riveted to the back with the proper size holes in the cover and the back of the box. JBWeld is in...

    Ag Soldering (really brazing) OK for pressure?

    OK, I've got a hair brained scheme to make a couple of 1/6 barrel sankes (legally acquired) a bit more useful in my ball lock world. Inspired by Bobby's (and other's) sanke fermenters, I am thinking about using a 2" TC x 1/2" MNPT adapter, a 1/2" NPT cross, some type of yet to be identified...

    Auber SWA-24x1

    I'm looking at the Auber SWA-24x1 controller for a RIMS build. The feature that has me interested is the timer mode where the timer counts down a pre-determined time and then kicks off the PID control. This would allow me to setup my mash water the night before and have the system kick on...
