Did we ever find out which connection it is? I want to extend the insert with tubing so I can fill bombers. I don’t have enough room since my tower isn’t quite tall enough.

Did you use rice hulls? I used them in my last batch (5% of grain weight) and it flowed a lot better. I don't know that my efficiency got a lot better, but at least I didn't have a stuck mash.

I'm going to use mostly metric because I'm assuming you're more familiar with it and because the calculations are easier. From a theoretical point of view, it takes 4180 Joules to raise 1 L (1 kg) of water by 1°C. This is called specific heat. Suppose you are making a 10 gallon eBIAB batch, you...

About that bulkhead, do you have a link for what you used or remember the size? I measured the OD of my coil tubing and it is exactly 10mm. I bought it from the stainless brewing site that was mentioned previously. I wasn't sure if a 3/8" or 9.5mm compression fitting would be too tight and I'm...

Ditto about the lid thing. It's definitely sturdy enough, just make sure you make your holes with enough clearance from the edge and no bigger than they absolutely have to be. I used a step bit. One problem that I have now, though, is the airlock doesn't show any bubbling. I used #5.5 bungs...

Thanks to both of you for the replies. I'm going with the Reflectix tape with the plan to make it into a jacket with a velcro side that will allow me to remove it before cleaning. I guess I'll have to come back here in a few years to let y'all know how that turned out.

What kind of tape did you use to seal up the reflectix on your speidel? I'm thinking about using two lengths and making a cross, then drawing them up the sides of the speidel and taping the corners together except one side with velcro so I can remove it for cleaning.

Yes, the Statis is the one I am backing. What chiller are you using and how loud is the compressor? What HP?

How are the compression fittings working out in terms of cleaning? Do you wish you had used a rubber stopper like rdavidw used? I decided to back a kickstarter for a glycol chiller that seems decently priced, but I'm still figuring out the rest of what I need. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you so much! I was on the john the other day thinking about my situation and the idea of using a transformer popped into my head. These power supplies are perfect!

I am checking out the different designs for control boxes and I want to keep it simple since I only plan on using one heating element and one pump. The only problem I am running into is that my 240v 30A GFCI circuit is 3 wire. In your schematics, I see you have a 4 wire setup and can use one hot...
