Contractor specializing in remodels... I tear houses apart, then put them back together in a different way. Do everything from dirt to finish. 16y+yrs now. Still baffles me you need to go to school to cut someone's hair and put make up on them, but to work on someone's house (generally the...

Did a fall clean on the brew room, and kind of combined a bunch of left overs. I still have 3 gallons left from last year if anyone wants. So bad I can't even cook brats in it. Oktofest Test Recipe specifics: Style: Oktoberfest/Marzen Batch size: 5.0 gal Boil volume: 7.0 gal OG: 1.060 FG...

I guess it's a cross between a worm for condensing likker, a cfc, and waterbath. For heating, best I can think of is a single vessel HERMS steam jacket kinda thing.

There's actually 1/4" or so between the copper pipe, and my kettle. I'm running another kettle/drum around the outside of this, as a jacket. The wort will be pumped through the copper pipe, and the cooling water will be pumped into the jacket. The entire copper pipe, and majority of the brew...

Well we opened the box, set the kettle in the middle and thought "how hard can this really be..." at the end I had arms of mush, a tired toddler, and 15 wraps of 3/4" copper around a kettle!

After a 2 hour cleaning marathon on my plate chiller today, and STILL watching chunks come out, I've decided this idea will work. Even if I lose some cooling efficiency, I'll make up for it in cleaning time. Quick math says it holds a little over 1.25 gallons, and has a surface area of 1700sq...

While in Lowe's today I ran across a 60' roll of 3/4" ID copper for.... $40. I'm undetermined on how well this will work for cooling, but decided to swoop it up anyways. I currently BIAB and have a 24 plate chiller, which drops 5.5 gals from boil to 70 in 7 mins. I run a March pump and whirlpool...

I just bottled everything out of the fermenters today. Hopefully I can get some pics tomorrow, and find time for a write up sooner than later.

All degrees are in Celsius as that's what the STC's show. I kept my connections pre defrost control. Basically I took the manual thermostat, cut the two wires going to it, and put them into the STC cold control on the freezer side. I cut into the power cord leading to the fridge, and used that...

Both of my stc1000's automatically switch from heat to cool, keeping the chambers within a range of .5 degree Celsius. Once the temps are set, you don't have to do a thing. I have a single fan to draw air from the freezer to fridge, and another fan to warm the freezer from the fridge. As mine...

Why are you going with an stc1000, and a love? I used two stc1000's on mine. I Just replaced the thermostat with controller A, this way I was able to keep the defrost and all that jumbo working correctly. I also spliced into the power cord and ran my own wiring for the rest of my needs. I...

Been using the search function for a while now, found enough good info I thought I'd join. Been around brewing for over a decade, but just recently started brewing on my own within the last year. Currently working on a side by side fermenter/kegerator, and looking at going electric by next year...
