Outside is the only place to brew in SoCal. Yes, I'm 220v wired too.

Std hole saw, then use rubber stoppers, food grade. Available at most brew shops.

I don't think water heaters were designed to provide drinking water. Probably won't kill you though.

I Like It!

I use mason jars with a FS bottle attachment. Any pump will do and they freeze well.

I too use tap water an RV carbon filter and treat for chloramine.

I use potassium metabisulfate to treat my brew water. !/4 t. per 5-8 gallons of water will remove chloramine

I use a ball valve with a side pickup. I put a tamale rack (cake rack w legs) in to keep everything off the bottom. My 44qt pot is also electric.

Great find...

All the blue Johnsons are prewired, gray you do the wiring...

I took my plastic (food grade) spoon and used a small pipe cutter to mark my gallon and half gallon measurements. I then colored the marks with a sharpie, red for half and black for full gallons. I used fine sandpaper, steel wool to remove the excess. Works great, looks good and was cheap too...
