Any chance of adding an odor scrubbing/carbon vent filter in there to help with the smell? @Spartan1979 Put a plug in the sink then rig up one of these (https://odorhog.com) where that AAV is maybe?

Make sure you take into account the space need inside for connectors and wiring. Crimped connectors add 1/2" off the back of switches, the wire adds a little bit more. Think about this stuff before cutting. Ask me how I now. One more little thing, make your cut outs a little bit smaller than...

I have no experience with them, but WOW that seems pricey! I bought everything to put mine together for just over $100.

#3 I've downloaded both guides and they are helpful, but he already has most of it posted on that site for free. I'm doing something very simillar to the AOI controller build. It seems simple enough and easy to expand down the line.

I have the same one and used to use it in a 10gal rubbermaid cooler for a hlt. It is submersible meaning you can put in liquid beyond the top of the heater itself. I never tried to boil with it, but it would get pretty close...~200*F or so if I left in the cooler.

Let me know when your up and running.

I just reread my post and realized how stupid that is. :oops: Anyways....Carry on.

According to the company that sells this one 200gal/hr or 3.3 gal/min. http://www.innomax.com/index2.php?crn=193

Very cool idea. I wonder if you could just modify a water bed/aquarium venturi pump for this. I used to have a set-up where I used a little venturi pump to create a vacuum in the fermenter which would pull wort from my kettle, thru the cfc and into the fermenter. There was a comercially...

I'll add Perennial and Side Project to what's already been posted. Craft Beer Cellar is a neat little bottle shop with a few unique drafts on tap usually. The beer scene here has grown immensely over the past 10 years. cheers!

Simple PWM. That's a clean way to do it. Basically just turn the dial and monitor the thermometer. 1800w isn't going to get you to a boil anytime soon. I use a 1500w bucket heater in my hlt occasionally and it will get close to a boil....but it takes hours to do so.

Those kegs look awesome...but Man! That's a ton of work. I didn't realize until you explained the process. I might just live with the filth.

Back on track. I have the same burner with leg extensions I cut from two old steel fence posts. The burner It raises the burner up to carboy height and is very stable, no wobble whatsoever. I've had my burner set up like this for 6 plus years. Yeah, pvc is sketchy, but metal tubing of some...

Damn Paul...You've come a long way in the past couple of years. I need to get out and see your set-up as you are building.:mug:

That is kind of a cool idea. What about a cheap bottle jack? You would also want a way to mechanically secure it when you reach the elevation you want. dan g
