Bump. Someone needs a controller!

Sometimes the simplest solution works best. My brain went straight to needing to use stainless steel but nylon string poses no threat to ripping the bag and would easier to manage. I might tie a SS nut on the end of string that is outside of the kettle for weight so the entire length of string...

Ive got a sling blade element so the hydra clears it. The rigged method im using now works-I’m just wondering if anyone has come up with a better way

Yeah that’s the only other option I’ve thought of. Only thing I’m a little concerned with is the bag getting snagged on the wire and tearing.

The brew hardware FB is designed to clear the heating element and allow enough room for whirlpool during the mash- I’m not home to measure but it’s a good 3-4” off the bottom. it’s tall enough that a hood portion of the chiller is exposed if left in with a 5-6g final volume. It’s not a big...

I have a brew hardware ebiab setup that uses a 15g spike kettle. I mainly do 5g batches and chill with a jaded hydra. Leaving the FB in after the mash sets my chiller up to high (not enough contact with the wort) so i need to pull it out of the kettle prior to boil. Anyone in a similar situation...

All I can say is the hydrometer I used was checked for calibration with distilled water and the degassed sample at 65 degrees read on the high side of 1.007, so 1.008 is reasonable. I trust what I see in front of me more than what I read on a website.

For anyone trying to do a clone, here is some more info I got from testing a de-gassed sample Fg is around 1.007, which would make the og 1.046. Final beer ph is 4.2. Hope that helps with the quest! It’s a fantastic beer.

Looking for a complete (element, power cord, and housing) 120v rims rocket in good, working condition. Let me know if you have one you’d like to unload!

Sent a PM. Thanks!

Sent you a PM. I am also in cincy.

Black igloo 5.2cf chest freezer converted to a 3 tap kegerator. Used for 2 years and then it died on me. Not sure if the compressor is bad or if it's something electrical but I built a new keezer and didn't want to mess with it. Collar is made of poplar stained with a dark walnut finish and...

$150 for one.. not selling the others.

If you are reading this post you probably know about this fridge. It was discontinued years ago by Sanyo. It is one of the few that will comfortably fit two 5g corny kegs and a co2 tank. I used it as a fermentation chamber but i can easily be converted to a kegerator (lots of forum threads...
