hey all....i have been looking for used kegs for what seems FOREVER. well i have given up....I found these from sabco that have the couplers welded on already. Does this look like my best option? I have my valves already but I will need a temp gauge and would like a sight glass. anyone see...

hi all, My stand is pretty much done. I STILL cannot find used kegs at less than half an arm. I still have 3 recipes of extract left so I am using the stand to brew but still doing extract. I am using my 30QT polarware that I put a spout on for my boil. Later it will be my HLT. My next...

ok all... I am finally to the gas plumbing part. After 3 trips to lowes...thank god they are only 1 mile down the street...I think I may have a design. completely different from what I had originally planned. I was already going to hard plumb the small center burner. I am also thinking of...

Hi all, I still have to get the hoses to go from my manifold to the burners. I'd like them to be flexible. I seem to be having the hardest time finding high pressure lp hose. I have a local hose shop, but they dont carry it..just the fittings. so I was looking online and wondered if this...

Hi All, I figured i would start my build thread. i've take so much from the members here. I'm doing a single tier build very close to shawn's, bobby's...and many others. My dad is helping me with the frame...i've yet to get pics of it yet but my two burners came in today. these...

hi all, just ordered 2 bg14 burners(i know i know...I said i wasn't gonna do it!)....plan on having a smaller bg10 as well. I have a bayou classic i have been using for a year for my extract brewing. It's a SP10. I believe the regulator is a 20psi from what I can find on the internet about...

Hi all, As I am putting together my order to get my pump for the stand. I'm going with the camlock system throughout. question on connecting the 1/2" ss camlock a style quick disconnect to the pump. It has 1/2 Female NPT, is there a reason I cannot just connect this directly to the in of...

hey all, i am still on the fence about what burners to use on my single tier. I like the banjos but I feel like it might be a bit overkill....i don't want to waste propane. On the other hand...they are just cool. lol If i did decide to get them..I would get 2 of them for HLT and BK. I'd...

hey guys, in the process of the new rig. i am a little confused about what goes from the burner to the pipe. the 10" i was looking at does not come with a orifice. I was looking on morebeer's site and they have some things that go from burner to pipe it looks like...

hi all, as I wait on my single tier to be put together I was going to order some of the parts i needed from bargain fittings. I just wanted some input on things I may be getting wrong or leaving out. I basically want the setup similar to what bobbyM has in his you tube. So i will need a...

hey all, i usually make my starter roughly 24 hours before i brew. I've always done the same thing using the ratio of 3oz of dme to 1L of water. I add some o2 and yeast nutrient, put it on the stir plate and 24 hours i usually have some krauzen or at least pretty good foam head. Well, I...

hi all, as I gather up links and such for parts for my rig, I was looking at burners. I see that NB has a 55K smaller one, and a 210k banjo that i have seen people on the forum use. I also found this http://www.agrisupply.com/bg-high-pressure-cast-iron-burner-/p/64494/cn/6000138/...

hey all, As I have progressed along the brewing process i am finding that I need more fermentation space. Right now I can only hold 2 5G carboys in my chamber and it does struggle sometimes with the temp. usually getting it down to ferm temp after its help above 72 before ferm starts. You...

Hey All, I have the option to get 2 50L sanke straight sided kegs. Are these kegs really any different than their american counter parts other than being 2gallons or so less? I'll be using for HLT, MLT or BK. I do mostly 5G ales so smaller beers with a grain bill of less than 11LB. I just...

Hi All, I am gathering my plans about building my single tier rig. I have tons of questions, but i wanted to start simple. ha. :confused: I already have a sketch of the frame taken care of thanks to shawn and diatonic :rockin: Now I am just kind of scratching my head about 1 pump systems...

Hi All, I've been extract brewing for a little over a year and have gotten that process down pat. i've made some really good beer. sooo...i'm ready to make the jump to AG and make even better beer. I've read so many threads here that have helped this jump. I am in the process of having my...

hi all, i've seen some awesome single tier builds on the board and stolen..errr seen some great ideas. I had an initial question about the frame itself. I've seen the steel varying from 1" to 2" tube. Is there a standard? Do any of you that built with the 1" have any regrets that you...
