• Posted in thread: questions on sanitizing weldless bulkhead on 04-04-2013 at 03:23 AM
  The valve on a kettle will get over 180F so sanitation is not an issue. The valve may be gunked
  up after many uses and no cleaning, but nothing is living in it.

• Posted in thread: Control panel pricing/e-brewery help on 03-22-2013 at 05:16 PM
  Kai's kit prices are quite reasonable for what you get. It's all the little details and the 150
  or so trips to the store for small parts, and the hours on the internet trying to figure out
  what you ne...

• Posted in thread: Paint strainer bag for transfering beer on 03-22-2013 at 03:27 PM
  A paint strainer bag is fine for filtering, but as stated, only when you plan to introduce
  oxygen. They work well as dry hopping bags as well, and in that case you are not pouring beer
  through them.On...

• Posted in thread: who uses a blichmann to deep fry turkeys? on 11-20-2012 at 04:29 PM
  The "Blichmann" burner is just a banjo burner in a fancier frame than the Bayou Classic
  offerings, which are the same burner casting. I've been using them for years to not only brew
  beer, but do all k...

  I built mine similar to those shown here, and the only issue I found was that the diagonal pot
  supports in combination with the sidebars essentially seal off the bottom of the kettle and do
  not allow ...

  How did you mount your casters on the open end of the square tube?For mine, I didn't have open

  drilled a ...

• Posted in thread: Need pond pump recomendations for use with Therminator on 10-25-2012 at 02:08 PM
  After using a number of pumps from small "pond pumps" like in the links above (useless) to the
  current 1/2HP submersible from Harbor Freight, I can definitely tell you that bigger is better
  and the li...

• Posted in thread: Tandem Therminator Plate Chillers on 10-25-2012 at 01:35 PM
  I've been using twin plate chillers for years now due to the hot ground water in Florida most
  of the year. The first one uses tap water, and the second is fed by a 1/2hp submersible pump in
  a ice wate...

• Posted in thread: Conical Vs Keg fermenter on 10-23-2012 at 05:29 PM
  I am surprised by the fact that not a lot of people talk about 15 gallon cornies. The thing is
  sweet. I'd choose it any day over a plastic conical. It's even cheaper than a mini-brew.If
  you're a kegge...
