    Minnesota Avantco IC3500 Countertop Induction - 240V, 3500W - $125

    Decided to go another route with my BIAB build. Brand New, used for 1 test run fora total of about 2 hours. I have a large 20gallon pot and I think this would work best with a 10 or 15 gallon kettle. It did get water up to temp and boiling but it took too long for me and I'm going to install...

    Dry hopping process in a conical questions

    Stubborn CamLocks

    Do camlocks require a bit of a break-in period or do they ever get easier to close with age? I have a few that are a real challenge to close and I have to manipulate the levers on them in such a way to get both of them to close. I may have one that is worse than the others and I may try to...

    Stll very confused with my water

    Recently moved to the country and am on a well. Had a sample done and the results are below. Been trying to read info and looking at Bruwater and just can't wrap my head around things. Thinking I may just be best off using RO water or something. Can my water be saved? pH 7.2 Total...

    Question about welded couplers/bulkheads

    About to have my female couplers welded into my kettles for my lines. I know it's more personal preference than anything but those that have been here before....... Did you weld them so that they were flush/nearly flush with the inside of the kettle or did you weld them so the coupler was...

    Has anyone completely replaced the lid of a keezer?

    Curious what type of wood/insulation construction could be used to completely replace the factory lid on a keezer? I have a build idea that won't work with the factory lid, I'd like to build the replacement with wood an insulation similar to a collar but for the whole top. Would a sheet of the...

    Custom False Bottom Options

    What are the options out there for companies that make custom sized false bottoms for kettles? I know of Norcal and they are definitely the top of my list. But I seem to recall seeing another option where the person/company would have you measure the height from the bottom of your kettle...

    Stainless Steel Coupler Question

    If I have female 1/2" NPT SS Couplers welded into my kettles and want to attach ball valves and other fittings that also have female NPT ports, what size male nipple is normally needed to join the two together and have sufficient enough threads to make a full seal? I don't want my ball valve...

    CHUBBY Brewing's Official Build Thread

    I figured since parts were starting to arrive I needed an official thread to chronicle my build. I am planning a BCS-460 controlled, fully electric, RIMS, single tier 3 vessel setup. I plan on 10 gallon batches for most everything but reserve the possibility to go to 15 gallon if I really push...

    3 Prong 240v outlet question

    I know I've seen this covered several times and didn't think twice about it until I actually went and looked at the outlet for my dryer and realized it pertained to me. I am planning on going electric with a 10 gallon capable RIMS or HERMS setup and was planning on using this outlet for power...
