Sold! Great to meet you John!

If you're interested in splitting them up, I'm interested in the chiller.

Thanks! You look like you could use a road trip south, a few good fish tacos, and some stainless in your trunk on the way back north. hahaha

I thought I would post these here before the general FB Marketplace/Craigslist. I'm selling my half-barrel chronical (1.0) fermenters. They will come with everything in pictures (wheels, cooling coils, and silicone heating pads). The cooling coils are NOT the SS Brewtech system, they were...

I haven't done this before, but I would adjust your water chemistry for the first mash and then on the second only treat for whatever make-up water you need to add (due to grain absorption losses from the first mash.) I assume you're using the runnings from the first mash on the second mash...

Are you sure they're all NPT thread? My chiller has 2 ports that are NPT thread and 2 that are garden hose thread.

I started fermenting on my back patio last year. Living in a warm climate, most of my concern was for chilling and I have that handled with a coil, pump, etc. However, I'm having trouble this "winter" keeping temps up for ales. I've tried reptile heaters and a heating blanket, but neither...

The coils are sold, but I still have both false bottoms.

Hi guys, I just upgraded my brewery from 10 gallon batches to 15, so I have some gear to sell. It is all in San Diego and I'd prefer not to ship it unless I have to. Keggles - $80 each, both have 3 holes drilled (the usual 2 plus one top left for a pump return/sparge arm), and 12" tops 15"...

Thanks. After hearing the reviews about poor build quality and noise, I decided to go DIY with a 5k BTU AC and cooler. At only $200 and an afternoon to build, I really can't stomach $800 for a fair to poor quality off the shelf item.

I'm looking at upgrading my cooling system to a glycol chiller. I don't think both of the fountain pumps that I currently use will fit in a small chiller reservoir. Has anyone tried using these for glycol chilling...

That is very helpful, thank you! I can't wait to hear how it works with the beer. Good luck with the new kettle!

When it's at temp and running is it still loud? I'm interested in getting one, but it will be on the patio right outside of our bedroom window which is usually open...and my wife won't care about how much better the beer will be. :)

Wow Jon, just wow. I dropped by to see what size batches you're doing. I'm planning on moving up to 15 gallons/batch. Looks like you've knocked everything out of the park.

I just heard back from SS BrewTech, apparently their new LCD thermometers are rated for higher temps and they're shipping with their mach tuns.

I've done a lot of searching on here, and read a LOT about digital thermometers, but I haven't exactly seen what I'm looking for. What are you guys using for digital thermometers that are mounted on pots/kettles? I've seen people mention K thermocouples and a reading unit, but then there are...

Enter me in too! Thanks!

Thank you everyone for all of the replies. There are no dissimilar metals in the chilling system, it's all 304 stainless. I think I will go with RV anti-freeze. I talked to a friend who is using it and he is very happy with it. Plus, I had the wrong concentration in mind, which would have...

My interest began in high school. I grew up in a very rural area and our school had a great agriculture program that taught some high level science (tissue culturing, DNA analysis/gene splicing, etc.) There was a terrific glass condenser in the lab that never got used. I decided to do a...

I've been looking at what fluid to run in my conical chillers. I currently use plain water that is chilled in an old kegerator fridge. I'm planning on moving the bucket/chilling system to a chest freezer and I'd like to get the fluid colder. I've read all about the different glycols, but food...
