    New mill=way better efficiency!

    That is the one that I have and I love it. I run mine with a 1/2" Craftsmen drill. I have been using several times a month for about a year with no problems at all.

    Show off your brewing setup!

    I starter with BIAB several years ago, then built a 3 tier setup. I need money so I sold that setup and I am now back to BIAB but with a new stand with a pivoting hoist.

    California 3 tier brew stand with eveything

    I have a three tier brewing set up. The top tier has a modified keg with a thermometer, sight glass, and a ball valve. That feeds into the "mash tun" which is an ice chest that is modified with an internal screen and a ball valve. That feeds into the "boil kettle" this is another modified keg...

    Welded Keggle Conversion Advice Sought

    Put water in the bottom of the keg before cutting. This will help with any slag you may get from the plasma. Why are you using aluminum fittings?

    Help, compressor on freezer gets hot!!

    Ok did not mean to start a debate. I did get this from work but it is a Frigidaire brand and is not industrial grade. It does not have a fan, that is why I thought of adding one.

    Help, compressor on freezer gets hot!!

    Damn that's a lot of beer on tap!!! The guys at my work were going to toss this thing away because they said that the compressor was getting hot. I don't believe that they had much in it. I think I will run it again this weekend and see how hot the compressor gets. Would it be better to put...

    Help, compressor on freezer gets hot!!

    I ran it for about an hour and the inside walls were getting frosty. I did not leave it on long enough to shut its self off. Ventilation is not a problem, I had it sitting in the middle of the garage with nothing around it.

    Help, compressor on freezer gets hot!!

    I just picked up a 25ft chest freezer from work. I plugged it in and the inside gets cold but the compressor get pretty hot. What should I look at first to get this to run cooler? I plan on using this as a fermentation box so I will not be pushing it to get down to freezing temps. Should I be...

    Tap-a-draft system

    If I had to buy everything then it would have been pricey/ I had some friend who like to drink Coors Light and drank up all the beer and gave me the bottles and taps from them. I then modified those. I do have one Tap A Draft tap that I left alone for portability. I had to purchase the paintball...

    Grain storage in ferm chamber

    I am using separate buckets. The orange buckets are for grain and the white are for fermenting. Is temperature a problem for grain storage? During winter it will get down to 30deg and in the summer 100deg in my garage. Is that a problem for grain?

    Grain storage in ferm chamber

    I am currently storing my grain in buckets in my fermentation chamber. Is this safe? I have had a problem with the last 2 bathes but I think it has to do with my buckets. I need to replace the buckets with new ones. Could the grain in my ferm chamber also be a problem? Where do you guys store...

    pond pump bottle sanitizer?

    I actually tried this once and failed. The pond pump could not put out enough pressure to spray through the nozzles. I think that pond pumps are more about flow and less on the pressure. If you get it to work I would be inerested to see it.
