Does anybody know anything about Shurflo Brew Buddy pumps? I bought a bunch of stuff off a guy that he had in storage and one of these pumps was included. It is an impeller pump rated to 104c. Searching google turned up some old threads from other forums, no info on the Shurflow web site...

I've read of folks having problems with kegs deforming when they cut the keg below the top skirt. I'm wondering about cutting the keg as normal with a 12-13" opening, then cutting the skirt off just above where it's welded to the keg and then grinding it flush. Basically leaving the...

I tig welded a 2" triclamp ferrule on the bottom of my MT for a waste valve. I wasn't confident that I could put a hole in the keg tight enough for a good fit up and I wasn't sure how to clamp the ferrule flush with the keg bottom. On top of that, I was concerned about burning away the edges...

I'd like to add a "fill spout" to my brew rig and I'm looking for fittings that will help me put one together. The fitting I'm looking for is some kind of a swivel... Like the one on a kitchen faucet spout. Ideally I'd like to build a spout with two swivel points that would allow me to...

I've started building a brew stand for my all electric rig. The control box is finished, the vessels are complete (with the exception of maybe some spit & shine). I have been brewing for several months with the panel & vessels sitting on scaffolding. I still have quite a bit of work, but some...

A year ago, I went through an adventure to get some kegs welded. Here is the thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/welding-questions-148798/ The result of that was pure frustration. I got all kinds of great advice from folks here that I couldn't act on because I didn't have a welder...

Hey folks, I’m thinking about selling the original RIMs Heater I built based on SawDustGuy’s design. I’ve used it maybe 5 or 6 times and it has worded flawlessly. I’m considering selling it because I was a Beta tester of Derrin’s TriClover version and don’t really need 2 RIM’s heaters...

Hey guys... I just ordered 2 Chugger Pump stainless steel heads that I plan to use to replace the plastic heads on my March pumps. I am building a manifold using 304 stainless nipples, tees and elbows. With the stainless heads, can I "hang" my March pumps from the manifold without...

Alright, I know it's kinda silly but I'm struggling with a name for my rig. I'm not real creative with this stuff (as you can tell by my user name ;) ), so I'm looking for a little help from those of you that are. I'm working on a drawing I can take to a local sign shop to have vinyl labels...

I have been fermenting my 10 gallon batches in a sanke keg using a BrewersHardware.com Sanke-Fermenter-Kit: http://www.brewershardware.com/Sanke-Fermenter-Kits/ While this works great... the problem is cleaning the keg: I have built a keg washer (to use for corny's, carboys, and sankes)...

I brewed Saturday and pitched a yeast that I harvested and washed in September (I know... a long time ago). I made a starter 2 days before brew day (should have been earlier but I forgot about it). Saturday morning (brew day), the starter was showing signs of activity but not as much as I...

Jeff, at Paradise Brewing Supplies is organizing a group grain buy from one of his distributors. He sent an email out to his distribution list of local customers. I asked if he minded me mentioning it here on HBT. So... is there any interest? Ed EDIT: List of users that voiced interest...

I'm looking for some input / advice / suggestions: I'm now at the pondering stage of the next piece of my new rig, the plumbing. At this point I'm not to worried about getting fresh water into the process or waste water out. I'm concentrating on movement during the brew process. Today...

I bought some 1/2" SS tubing on ebay. I'd like to make some pickup tubes, and a hex coil. In a few places I'd like to make a fairly tight radius. Here is what I have: 1/2" O.D. (.020 wall) 304/304L Stainless Steel beverage grade tubing # Bright Annealed # Tensile Strength PSI: 87738 #...

I'm working on a new electric system and starting to gather parts. The question is; what are your thoughts on having separate 120 and 240 feeds into the same panel? I know I can do 4 wire 240 to get the required 120v, but the cord, connectors, breakers, etc gets expensive very quickly as the...

Hey guys... I have 3 kegs with the tops cut and getting ready to be converted. I am gathering the parts to be welded (still looking for someone to do the welding) and have a few questions: 1. Is there an issue tig welding a 304 "Cast" stainless coupling to a keg? See the link below for...

I built a small power distribution box in a 6x6x4" weather tight PVC box. It's built to power a 1500 watt rims heater, 2 March pumps and a control panel. It is tight... It has 2 duplex outlets with the hots all separated. One switched outlet for each March pump, one unswitched outlet for...

I just got a deal on a new NEMA Type 1 metallic box. I have been gathering some components to build a control panel and have started thinking about the layout. I'm wondering if I can mount the SSR's on the inside and have the heat sinks on the outside of the box. What are your thoughts...

I pulled this out of another thread so folks could easily find the link: Thanks Forrest for putting this together. Ed

I am ready to order a PID and a couple RTD sensors from Auber to get my feet wet but had a question... Does anybody know the difference between these two PIDs (Model: SYL-2362 & Model: SYL-2352): http://www.auberins.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=106 and...
