I saw this in a different forum and thought I would pass it on. http://www.techbargains.com/news_displayItem.cfm/365901 Here is the description of the coupon from the link above: Harbor Freight, which specializes in great deals on low cost tools, takes an additional 25% off 1 item with Coupon...

Yes, before I made mine, I tried one of those bathroom faucet to garden hose thread adapters from the sink in the powder room, which was the closest source other sink I had. Total failure. It would pop right off the threads when you built up any water pressure. Glad it worked out for you.

Sorry it took a while for the pics. How did your adapters work out?

Oh, I see what happened to my IMG tags. I did them right, but I have not reached the required quota for image tags to work (25 --https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f22/img-tags-video-parsing-109880/). I read a LOT, but don't post too often. (Which is probably better than doing the opposite.). Well...

BadWolfBrewing, sounds like the two main differences between our version are, first you got a coupling without a stop so you could slide one piece of 1/2" pipe through--a great idea. And second, you shaped the end with a Dremel. I happened to have a 15mm drill and a drill press, which was a...

Hmm. Something seems to be going wrong with my img tags??. Just for now, here are the URL's for the photos I uploaded to ImageShack. I'll try to figure out what I did wrong and edit my post above. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/812/ncyp.jpg/...

I took some photos of my version a few days ago, and meant to add them to this post. (BadWolfBrewing, I hope you got my PM with them. Hopefully they helped. It will be interesting to compare your version.) And here is a crude diagram (I gotta learn Sketchup or something).

Ah, I had it backwards, then. Thanks for clearing that up.

A question from a relative "newbie": why is there a valve on the output side? I thought the output from the pump should be unrestricted? I'm probably misunderstanding the purpose of the valve.

I'm hoping that as long as I don't boil so vigorously that the wort or hot break material scorches, there will be no issue collecting a little extra sparge water to allow for the increased evaporation, e.g. 7 gal initial volume instead of 6.5 for a 5 gallon batch. With the SPS-60, that would...

I think you're right. I think the Bayou Classic pot is closer in shape to a keggle, and probably has similar boiloff. if I get a chance to boil another partial mash batch, I'll use it and post the result. On the other hand, I'm waiting for fittings I ordered late last week, and when they come...

I just got 2 new stainless steel stockpots, an Update International SPS-60 which is 18.625" dia, 14.75" high, and a Bayou Classis 62 qt pot, at 15.25 dia, 18.5 in high. So, the Bayou is taller and narrower. I planned to use the SPS-60 for a boil kettle, and the Bayou for a MLT (which I will...

Just saw this thread. Did you guys eventually get any of these pots imported? Also, i used Google translate to display one of the German pages for the pot in English. It called them a "vacuum" pot. Is there something like foam insulation between the outer and inner skin, or is it truly a...

This isn't a huge project, but it may help someone in the same situation. Our kitchen sink has a Grohe spray faucet. Totally useless for hooking up a chiller or bottle washer. (I really gotta get a utility sink!) I finally put something together that works (after trying a couple really...
