I guess I am not so worried about removing them as I am the grooves and threads on the insides gathering bacteria. I have someone welding so I thought I might as well have them weld a fitting on. Just not sure what size or what I need. Building a system of 3 55 gallon drums. Starting a small...

I am building a decent sized system and am only a few parts away from getting started. I was hoping someone here might be able to help me out. I plan on using built in thermometers but would prefer to not use the weldless kind. What do I need to weld onto the kettle in order to be able to remove...

I've come across a few large (55 gallon) steel (not stainless) drums on craigslist. I was wondering if these were ok for using as an HLT. All of the ones I have seen say they are food safe. One in particular says it has an epoxy lining. I have two large stainless steel barrels for my boil and...

So I'm not entirely sure I am posting in the right forum, but I posted here a few weeks back and everyone was incredibly helpful. I just picked up a 2 two system and I am pretty psyched to start my first batch. My question is this, if I have an extra pump, what do I need to do (or get) to...

Well guys it seems as if my question has been slightly answered. I called to check on the status and the BM was sold. Possible blessing in disguise I suppose. I have another system in mind that was built. I will get the specs and report back in a day or two. Cheers!

All very good suggestions and thanks again for putting the time in to help me out. Is it possible to brew 30 gallon batches on BM or are they just not big enough?

I have some homebrewing experience but mostly with partial grain and/or extracts. The good thing is, being in the business I have made a few friends that are professional brewers. They are willing to help and give advice along the way. I am definitely not going to pass off any subpar...

And no, I really don't have the time to build one unless I am saving a ton

Nice! It is called Funky Buddha on Federal Hwy.

Boca Raton, but don't hold that against me...

I am definitely hoping to get into something bigger one day, but just being realistic at this point about demand. I want to offer at least 4 or 5 varieties. I figured brewing 2 days at 2 or 3 batches each day. I lost the link but someone sent me a good site with cheap conical fermenters (like...

Thanks for info guys. I guess I should give some background. I own a small beer bar in South Florida. We are thinking about expanding and starting to brew our own beer. Going by what I sell right now (since I carry about 100 bottles) I will need to brew about 30 gallons a week. I would...

I am considering buying a used brew magic from someone in my area. It was made in 2005, so it doesn't have some of the bells and whistles of the new machine. Mainly, the touch panel computer system. Does anyone own a system from that year or around that year that could give the thumbs up or down...

Just checked out the systems Calpyro. I think these are designed for outside use only. I can only assume it is because they are running from propane tanks.

Thanks Flyin' I will definitely post there as well. Thank you calpyro, I will check that out! Great question zoobrew. I was hoping to spend a less than 2000. Am I dreaming? Not sure how many of our beers we would sell. We are definitely a beer bar that is geared to the connisseur. We don't...
