    Master aviator, How is the build going? Your eBay sample is very similar to what I used to back my recessed taps.

    Yes.. I agree with Day_Tripper, your wiring design looks correct. Fyi, my unit is in F as well, but the digests are not the same size. I have learned to live with it and really don't notice it anymore... Works like a charm and cheap to build. Can I Get an AMEN!

    I am a bit of a pack rat. I tend to collect unique metal. This was a piece my company was discarding from a showroom. Most steal shops have scraps or will cut similar size pieces at a reasonable price. In Denver we have DenCol. www.dencol.com , they carry some ornamental steel to choose from.

    Do you strain/filter your wort?

    austin homebrew

    I really like Austin home brew clone kits. The few I have tried come close and that is all I can really expect with the variables mentioned above. I also like their flat rate shipping and their pricing is competitive to local home brew option, unlike some Internet based home brew companies (...

    No spaces or gaps between the wood collar and the metal trim. I did router out the wood collar for the recess and used a metal saw for the matching metal collar. The work in progress pic is before I routed out the wood. In fact I used the metal trim cut as a guide to cut the wood.

    How do you use gelatin finings?

    Just to note.. I read everyone uses a gelitan and water mix to clear beer. In an attempt to not add any extra water to my beer I have been useing a mixture of my beer and gelitan and follow the same process. It has worked great for me with no off flavors or watering down of my beer. Just an...
