Neat. I'm in. BSD

I am in a different house now and when I rebuilt the brewery, I made my ferm chamber a little smaller (3 60L spiedels instead of 4 capacity) and elevated it high enough to provide easy gravity siphoning into kegs and keg storage below. So, while I do not pressure transfer anymore, I easily...

fair enough. My bad. BSD

Why not? It looks like you have your added heat shield attached with the burner mounting screws/bolts. Drill new holes, in line with your old holes, higher up in the original heat shield. Move the burner up. leave your new heat shield in place. It is just mild steel. Don't be afraid to...

Neat! In! BSD

dunno about online. The local to me Home Depot carries it, as does the local metal supplier. You'll probably have to order the trolley though... BSD

a piece of unistrut screwed into your ceiling joists and a 4 wheel trolly to hold your pulley assembly? Trolly is less than $30 and can hold up a LOT of weight. I love me some unistrut. BSD

Looks to be true. I measured mine and came up with those dimensions. Cheers. BSD

I'm in BSD

Lol! I am moving tomorrow and my entire brewery is all packed up. I have 2 kettles set up that way and just configured it from the box of extra stainless fittings I have. I think I have a 5/8" dip tube and a half inch dip tube. The idea is to find a fitting that is pretty tight so no grain...

Yup. The fermenter will come with one too. BSD

I use a domed false bottom like that in my BK. I use it with a standard dip tube. I took out the elbow barb fitting from the FB and built up stainless plumbing fittings that the dip tube fit tightly through. Turns out a camlock male and nut of appropriate size did the trick for me in this...

I use the old plastic spigot on the top and just pop a short piece of 3/8" silicon tubing onto it. The pvc tubing I have set up on the pressure pushing end of my regulator simply pressure fits into the silicon. Easy peasy. BSD

Thanks, man. I see that I've had these in service for 1 day shy of a year now and have had ZERO issues with leaks or anything going wrong. Totally happy I went this way. Cheers. BSD p.s. they will take around 3 psi no problem for pressure transfers. They'll take more pressure but the lid...

I use a towel held under the fitting when changing hoses to catch the drips. BSD
