Sorry guys, this pm system is killing me. please try email [email protected] I will try to get back to everyone by wed night. I had some stuff go, so need to update the list. thanks for the patience and for looking.

The most up to date availability, price list, and photos are here: http://stlbrews.org/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3786 This is what I have left as of Sunday the 18th: sabco mash tun w/ ss false bottom, tri clamp manifold, temp gauge 380 sabco brew kettle, temp gauge 240 keggle hot liquor...

brew to keg.

I thought I put the spray ball part number on one of the forum sites..? stlbrews.org or garagebrewers.com It was from GW kent, their standard 1" or 1.5" spray ball.

fyi, here is the pump I used for my CIP setup. Lowe's doesn't carry it anymore. I think pretty much anything of 1/3hp to 1/2 hp would work well. I don't know much about corrosion or oil intrusion into the fermentor, so be careful there. I went with this oil free stainless steel version for...

Creating a retrofittable temp control for this is not hard. I put together plans for one that works in both directions (heat and cool) using a lab temperature regulator. It's an extra $300-400 to set it up using refurbished parts, so I've chosen to use the fridge for now. I'm not crazy about...

The "blow off" hole in the top is part of the pre-conical build production tank. There is no way to omit it. The 1 inch tri-clamp seems to be the best way to manage the hole. I have also tried a number of weldless options, but they haven't worked well...and it's really silly to have a...

a 4 inch tri-clamp on top is a great idea. I wonder how that alters the price. 4" tri-clamp stuff can get expensive. But I suppose that would save the clamp and machined top for a more industry standard setup. Cleaning isn't bad. I think Dale and Josh both hand clean theirs fine. I hand...

We did some research on the 45 vs 60 degree conical question. The industry standard fermentor built today is a 60 degree conical, but there are many variations out there. All of the professionals that were consulted (including a worldwide yeast expert) felt that the 45 degree angle is enough...

I suppose I can share this - some good part info and resources. It's not all in a concise form yet, so you have to weed through the discussions a little. This is some of the initial design discussion: http://stlbrews.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2892&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Good for...

There is about 2 pints of volume between the racking port and the end of my dump valve setup. My setup has a straight 1-1/2" tri-clamp welded to the bottom of the conical. Then I attach a 90' tube and a 1-1/2" tri-clamp butterfly valve. 2 pints is pretty close to the trub I leave behind in a...

Submit an inquiry here: http://brewhemoth.com/contact They'll get right back with you about it.

oh, and if you want to see it in action - there's some serious scrubbing power with the CIP ball and 1/2 hp stainless pump. I made the CIP system reconfigurable to work as my keg and carboy cleaner too.

They have lots of tanks, but not endless. I don't know if they have a long term manufacturing plan for these as they are moving more to larger commercial oxygen systems. This may be why they are willing to offer these at such a great price. The Penrose Kettles are awesome. I don't own one...

haha, thanks for the compliment. I need to put a parts list together for it. I have a mix of parts from Ebay and McMaster-Carr. I have photos and documentation for the whole thing, so it's just a matter of getting it published. Some of the tri-clamp fittings and valves can get very...
