Randall the Enamel Animal (Build Process)
Posted 06-19-2009 at 09:16 PM by Suthrncomfrt1884
In my last blog, I said I would detail the build process of my Randall. Here goes.
Most of the process can be seen at the Maltose Falcon's website. They are who came up with the homebrew version of Dogfish Head's Randall. The reason I wanted to do a blog about the build process is because I didn't see enough pictures of this thing before I had the pleasure of building it. This led to some setbacks.
For a parts list, you can also go to the MF website. The only things I didn't use on that list were the stainless steel tube, and the beer hose they used to secure it in the Randall. Instead, I found that the dip tube on a Sanke keg worked perfectly. It was stainless, and it was the perfect fit for my filter housing.
As for the filter housing, I bought mine from Waterfilters.net. That link should take you to the exact filter housing I bought. It was also the cheapest on the net that I could find.
Make sure if you buy a different one, you buy it with the pressure relief valve. I can't tell you how much easier this will make things.
On to the pictures...
This is the inside of the filter housing. The Sanke keg dip tube fit right over it for a snug fit.
As you can see in this picture, I added an extra tap that the Maltose Falcon's website talks about. It's great when you want to try the beer with and without the randall.

What was the length that you cut the Sanke sword? what size holes did you use? with those holes have you had any sediment pull through?

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I've been a little busy. The sanke tube is 9-7/8" long. Each hole is 1/8" diameter. I haven't had any sediment come through, but I use strictly whole hops and anything else I put in isn't very small. I've used coffee beans in it before but at a very course grind. I had no issues with it.
