thanks for the pic help.

I got my gas nipples adapted to the wardflex with a monstrous line of adapters, but it should flow gas.

I also got parts to build a return nozzle into the lid of the hlt that will help turn it, so I can use one pump to keep the hlt fluid moving (more even temps). Also, a built-in-under-the-lid sparge setup for the blichmann. It should thread through the lid, and like the hlt return, have a male qd showing above the lid.

Also my hoses arrived... really I'm missing just the pumps and some odds and ends.

Next big step will be to electrify the hlt.

I don't know where you would find them commercially. Thankfully, I have a relative who worked for the company that made them (now out of business...) He scarfed up any extras laying around for scrap price and the "test" barrels, which were dropped filled and pressurized....there was little damage, other than the top skirt, which we pounded out. They are really heavy duty...weigh about 70 lbs empty.

Not to mention the 23.5 gallons of American Stout. Sheesh! And I have a hard time seeing the bottom of 5 gallons.

Is that cart custom built, or re-purposed from something that is commercially available?
