very cool!! I'd assume; no issues with foaming?

too late? I am Miami.... gotta test "winter tropics"

Hi -- trying to scope out my moves to glycol. would you be so kind and, clarify , then drop a link to the the coils? you mentioned kegland... but this might Anvil. I am thinking how to keep using old carboys or drop them for cheap buckets but also to glycol some of the tapping cornies.

hey guys, while scouting for glycol solutions I came across this. The problem is not the pump draw it is the setup. With this up-scaling in mind, a statement such as "My idea for the 50L unit is to do two stage cooling where I use an immersion chiller to get the wort temperature down below...

No to shut myself down here -- just found Bobby's comment on glycol and freezers not having enough BTUs. Still any thoughts for the above?

So here is a thought for food uhm brews. I have done years of fermentation temp control with fridges, pink foam boxes and dorm fridge, 5 cuft freezers etc.... pending on life stages, housing, and the state. And used i.e. that setup for both, fermentation and then kegging. Getting back to...

Looks more like there is still some flux or residue instead of rusty spots. How did you remove the flux residual flux? BKF and heavy scrubbing helped my stainless in the past as I run i.e. bowls in the dishwasher etc. so if that is still flux, maybe use countermeasures for that (pending on...

and this, kids, is how @WortMonger defined the term #BrewGearPorn seems that an appendix surgery is easier than wiring that tight setup.... LOVE IT! Thank you!!

thank you for the reply and help. if you have a moment, maybe drop a pic or two of the insides for inspiration? thank youuu and Prost!

hey :-) I am reworking my old two-element (2x 120vac 1500W) boil kettle into a herms setup. So something like your rims/HLT element combo as I'd run one PID and two SSRs (or one dual channel) but the system is powered by two 120v lines (two different breakers and gfcis) I was wondering if you...

Sooo to follow up as I am looking at a similar two-element situation but on 2x 120v 1500W elements. (revamping my old boil kettle to HLT) one PID -- two SSRs -- one ssr per element. OR one PID -- dual channel SSR? any thoughts and experiences?

So many biotech and potential sci-fi/weaponary questions..... Star Trek photon torpedo or a smart safe for a lager?? #humor

maybe look at something like this? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/igloo-cube-pimp-out.353183/ I am happy with that MLT.

What about freezing it? Let's make an Eisbock Mead?

Any trouble with the the burner's heat and being so close to the studs/wood? I see some metal in the back. Any thoughts?
