    1BBL Stout Tanks HERMS Electric Brewery

    Thank you! I've been wonderful to brew on it. Yes. There are four reasons for the asking price increase: 1. I spent a considerable amount of time (days) performing deep cleaning since the initial listing. This is work the buyer no longer has to do. The effect of the deep cleaning can be seen...

    1BBL Stout Tanks HERMS Electric Brewery

    (More full-res photos on Google Drive) For sale is a complete, professional 1 BBL (31 gallon) HERMS brewery by Stout Tanks. It was lightly used for the last 3-4 years as a hobby. There is nothing wrong with it whatsoever, it is just too big for me to manage as a hobby, and I'm planning on...

    Which beer faucets do you prefer and why?

    My old 4-tap kegerator has Perlicks. My new 10-tap tower has Intertaps. I love the way the Perlick's I had kind of "clicked" closed, and I do prefer their design. On the other hand, I love the interchangable spouts and shuttle design of the Intertaps. I don't think I'd be able to choose a...

    DIY Trunk Line Question: Store-bought wraps, or pro tape?

    Aha! Perhaps this just isn't a case that the pumps were tested for. Well, fingers crossed for both of us! Both our systems seem to be working great so far. Now I'm tempted to keep my system on a cycle so we can compare the longevity of our pumps under our different cycle patterns (although my...

    DIY Trunk Line Question: Store-bought wraps, or pro tape?

    The only reason why I was hesitant to run mine 24/7 was because of this snippet from the Penguin website: I'd be interested in asking @PenguinChillers what kind of life span shortage they expect. My EVABarrier tubing was pretty easy to fit over my tower's hose barbs. Micromatic's towers have...

    DIY Trunk Line Question: Store-bought wraps, or pro tape?

    @Spin711, I did end up making my own trunk line with EVABarrier line. I’m planning on posting a full build when things a truly done (chalkboard up, all taps full, remaining tap handles commissioned, tower polished, etc), but I’ve been running the new system for just under a month now. I went...

    Washington 1BBL Stout Tanks HERMS Electric Brewery

    This is a jury-rigged CIP "lid" for the kettles. It's got a sheet of silicone on the other side that creates a seal around the kettle's rim, and a 3" tri clamp ferrule epoxied on to attach a CIP ball (included). You just weight the thing down with a few bricks and you're good to go! It's not...

    Washington 1BBL Stout Tanks HERMS Electric Brewery

    For sale is a complete, professional 1 BBL (31 gallon) HERMS brewery by Stout Tanks. It was lightly used for the last 2-3 years as a hobby. There is nothing wrong with it whatsoever, it is just too big for me to manage as a hobby, and I'm planning on downsizing to a smaller brew length...

    DIY Trunk Line Question: Store-bought wraps, or pro tape?

    This is great to know, and the bit regarding the JG fittings is very helpful, as my PEX glycol lines connect to the copper lines in my Micromatic tower with JG fittings. Thank you so much for your elaborate response. I will definitely go with the Micromatic tape; the last thing I want to do is...

    DIY Trunk Line Question: Store-bought wraps, or pro tape?

    Greetings! I'm a long-time lurker and thread-searcher, but finally came to a dead end on my search for an answer to this question. I'm building a long draw (16ish feet), glycol colled draft system. I decided I wanted to use EVABarrier lines and duotight fittings wherever possible, so I knew I'd...
