Yep, you're right, I had a bit of a brain fart. I will be using 15.5gallon kegs. If I couldn't find any ethical ones I would be going with lawson kegs, they are a bit of a drive, but I don't mind that. I have a bunch of 30l kegs I plan to use for fermenters (from businesses that went bankrupt...

The old setup ran off of the 30a 8-3 dryer plug (previous owner had the washer and dryer in the kitchen). I will be adding a similar plug of the new one. All my previous batches where inside and the vent hood and the front door open a smidg (for the heat) handled it just fine. The vent was on...

I was doing 20l batches BIAB but using the kitchen counter, so I had to clean and put everything away in the afternoon so I could cook dinner. Sins the new setup will be plumbed right in I expect the time it takes me to clean will be about the same, but I won't have to put any equipment away...

I didn't really see it as re-inventing the wheal, the point of a HLT is to pre-heat water and act as a heat exchanger in a HERMS system. That smaller sealed vessel works the same. My day job involves hydraulics, electrical and electronics. So I'm not too fussed about my ability to build any...

Hmm, well, I guess I'll keep working on this on my own. If I can make the system work efficiently maybe it'll be useful for other people too.

I'm self employed, so it's probably better for me to do it over one day. What's a four vessel system? I couldn't find a good diagram for it. My old system was still all grain, but brew in a bag using a large pot with a 4500w element. New system is sort of like a HERMS, but using a small...

I figured I should show off the kegerator I built a couple years ago. My old one was built out of a chest freezer and it died, so I decided this one needed to be done right. As it turns out Second City in Toronto was shutting down (they have a new venue now) and I managed to buy up all three...

I have a rather limited amount of space I can dedicate to brewing in my kitchen. Specifically the 24x40" top of my new DIY kegerator. I will of course be going all electric (it's all I've ever done) and eventually automating a bunch of it, though initially the valves will just be controlled with...

I've bean brewing off and on for ages, but I haven't done any in a couple years.. My work and day to day life just got too stressful for me to really enjoy it. Especially the setup, cleaning, and take down when I didn't have a dedicated space for it. But I think I finally have the time to...
