I have bought from orings and more twice. Cheap, highly recomended.

How long is the thermowell? And is there a racking arm in the conical?

Please post pics of the conical when you finally get it! Perhaps how they ship it too. I'm really wanting to get one myself. I'm jealous.

More pics please! I emailed them 6 months ago for pictures of the final/finished product & they said they didn't have any.

Jaybirds 15" false bottom works like a champ in my keggle mash tun/RIMS system.

+1 to what Bobby said. I used to have same problem as you, so I cut with my angle grinder a "notch" into the bottom of my copper pickup so that if it gets pushed down it can still flow. Haven't had a problem since. I have keggle mash tun w\ jaybird false bottom and re-circ via pump and RIMS.

Doesnt look like a coupling will thread on after the lockbut

Thanks

How far on the nipple do those locknuts thread? Up to about the middle? Could you post a pic of just the nut threaded on the nipple as far as it'll go? Curious as i've bought a few that only thread a tiny bit & dont want to order these with the same results. Thanks

Ive been brewing 3 gallon batches as of late, so the 3 gallon would be nice.

It's fine to use on stainless. Although I wouldn't store it in stainless for long periods of time. I've listened to a few podcasts\interviews with charlie daniels (worked @ 5 star & created star-san) who advised against extended contact time with stainless.

I literally just saw one on ebay ten minutes ago. Search "1/2 npt stainless"

Yeah I get all my ingredients from there. Nice people too.

Interested in 12" pulley & 3 1/2". how much shipped to 49006?

I origionally made one with pvc, but after bout 6 brews the heat warped it badly and it fell into the keggle. I then went to local godwill, found a stainless flip top container, and cut bottom off, and used that. Now I'm thinking bout to replace the zinc lag bolts with stainless bolts if I can...
