Hey guys, I have an extra tower of power hanging around (no stand, just the control unit and everything it comes with). Anyone interested in it? It has only been used a few times. I'll start the price at $450 OBO. Willing to ship.

I have to opportunity to pick up a lightly used 1HP aquarium chiller for $425. This retails online brand new for ~$1200, so I feel like it's a steal. Specs: -Coralife Aquarium Chiller 1 HP - 8.0-8.3 AMPS -For Aquariums up to 400 gallons -Recommended pump flow rate 1,000 - 2,000 gph...

I'm looking to purchase a used model. I plan to try and use it with a blichmann 27 gallon conical. One of the interior dimensions appears to be 0.5" too small (from my guess, I believe the depth is smaller than the width. If this is the case, I'd like to try and build a collar for the door...

I know this is a heated topic, but we are starting to look at larger batch sizes for some beers. We currently do 10 gallons on everything and are looking to move up to 15 or 20 gallons. Currently fermenting in a plastic spiedel for the 10 gallons batches. Works great, but it barely fits in...

My biggest concern was appropriate ventilation. I've seen a cool build on here utilizing a 55 gallon steel barrel cut lengthwise and welded together and figured that was an excellent idea. My dad has some free plastic barrels laying around so he fabricated the hood using that. Definitely a cost...

Looking for some input on the results of my natural gas conversion. This is using the blichmann natural gas conversion kit on the blichmann floor burner. There seems to be a lot of random yellow flickering at basically all settings of needle valve and air damper. Is this the best I should...

I'm traveling in houston this week. I've browsed untappd and yelp and decided tonight I'll check out hay merchant and the flying saucer. I can't seem to find any breweries with pubs...(I live a mile from bells) so maybe I'm just spoiled in this respect. Anyone have any suggestions?

I wanted to wait until I have the last 2 taps in and have some writing on the board, but the anticipation for feedback is killing me! The keeper is in the basement. I made my own trunk line and am cooling with a loop of water from a corney keg in the keezer. Pours are great even when it hasn't...

Just a quick question. I have run beer lines from my keezer in the basement, through the floor underneath a kitchen cabinet and mounted the shanks outside of the cabinet. Works great, but the clearance for longer tap handles is... very close. The top of my medium size handle rests against the...

I've got one "test" run (water only in MLT) and one batch under my belt so far with the tower of power, and now have some questions. I'm wondering how many of you did as I did, and skipped the stand. I'm using just on module and recirculating from my bulkhead to the pump and back up to a...

So I have a dilemma. I've decided to make the jump from single infusion cooler mashing to step mashing with an automated direct-fire MLT with recirculation. I've been looking at brewtroller and BCS... and then there is Blingmann waving its shiny little hands at me. The thing that I've come to...

So I have a blichmann burner and want to start my automated system with a direct fired MLT. I plan on using a BCS 460 or 462 (deciding). I've tried searching for an end all solution on the forums but am ended up in a confused state. I'd like something that I can walk away from for a few...

Looking for a BCS-462 controller as well as some propane valves (constant pilot type).

I'm an all grain brewer currently using a single kettle for HLT/Boil and a 10 gal false bottom igloo MLT. Winter is coming up and I currently brew on a blichmann burner with leg extensions. So I'm at a crossroads for winter: 1) freeze my ass off on my back porch 2) start building an...

This is with a 10 gallon Rubbermaid false bottom mash tun setup. Seems kinda counterintuitive to me, but maybe it has to do with the fact that it was the first time I conditioned the grain before milling. The crush seemed perfect... Intact husks with floury kernels. Guess ill save the rice...

My first (major) DIY in the hobby. 40 dollar fridge from craigslist. 30 dollars in insulation. 30-40ish in wood 50ish in thermostat(s) I'm really happy with it. Easily fits 2 6.5g carboys and 3 5g carboys. I could squeeze at least one more in. Second thermostat kicks on the 110v fan to cool...

Hey everyone. I've switched to partial mash after about 5 extracts. My methods (in a nutshell) are as follows: 1)BIAB in an unmodified cooler at about 1 quart/pound grain 2)Remove the bag after mash, then "steep" in about a gallon of water, then sparge with as much water as needed to be...

I just spent over an hour searching for a black chest freezer for my keezer build. I literally have only found one, a Kenmore 8 cubic foot that is bigger than I initially wanted. Anyone know of any others?

So I took a BB witbeer kit, and used a 1L yeast starter with the WL witbeer yeast. I put this brew in primary sunday (6.5 gal glass carboy) and had two consecutive FG readings over 2 days that were at target. There was still some bubbling (around 1 every 10 seconds) on the airlock, however I...
