I'm in. Sweet!

Just FYI, you can't fill much of a gap with solder.

I have the wand with disposable tanks. I'm not at all happy with the regulator or tanks. You can't leave the regulator on there because it leaks and the tank doesn't last long at all. I would get the big tank kit.

I use a 4L beaker, way better then the flask. I boil in it, leave a stainless whisk in it during boiling and use that for aeration. I am thinking about making a mini immersion chiller as well.

Why wouldnt you do this as a full boil or at least 1/2 gallon short of a full boil?

I have this one as well, but I don't know how it interfaces with jars. I have stored hops in bags with it and you can have it stop vacuuming at any point you want so you don't crush things. That's a feature that the cheaper ones don't have. I will have to look into the jar sealing, that would be...

Well I got the room up to about 68deg, I imagine it will take a little time for the beer to warm up. So we will see. Hopefully the airlock does something, either way I will check the SG in a week or so.

I will try waking them up and get them up to the high 60s.

So I brewed up a chocolate stout and the fermentation has stopped. The OG was 1.051, predicted was 1.056. I aerated same as I always do by vigorously stirring and shaking. I pitched a packet of danstar windsor yeast, I just poured it in there. I checked the gravity after a week and the gravity...

I'm already using the keggles. I got the HLT for cheap from someone who already cut it and welded in some fittings. It's pretty ugly so it might get replaced if I get a good deal on an uncut keg, they actually welded a valve onto the keg instead of a fitting :smack: . The MLT is already built as...

So this is what I'm thinking for a brew stand design. It will be all electric, one pump. The mash tun and boil kettles tip forward. The tipper is a little different then usual, but I wanted it dump away from the stand a little more so I could get a bucket under and they were super simple. I...
