Hi all, I welded S/S male pipe fitting on to my hlt for ball valves, etc. And on the inside of hlt where I welded has started rust and seems to get worse every time I use my system. I haven't had much problem with taste in my beer but I was wondering if anyone knows if this could be a...

Hi everyone I am have a little issue with my control panel. Every time when it is on and there is liquid on the stand I can feel electric current running through the water. Not a lot but enough to know its there. I have traced it to I believe its somewhere between the plug to the box because it...

I switched to using silicone tubing for brewing and I loved it except I had problems when the silicone got hot the hose clamps I used ate into the silicone hose causing it to make holes. I am using your common hose clamp and I was wondering if there is something else I should be using to attach...

I have two March 809 115 volt 1/25 hp pumps right now. I thought about reducing the diameter of my tubing which is believe is...

Alright sounds good, thanks for the info.

I bought silver solder to use with soldering a couple of couplers to a boil kettle. The solder had a low melting point at 450 degrees which made it easy to work with but I didnt take in consideration now that I use a 74000 btu burner that might get the solder to hot and cause it to melt again...

Hi i have a welded coupler on one of my sanke keg kettle and i was wondering if anyone knows if you could use JB weld to take care of the leak and if there is any drawbacks? Cheers, Andrew Thacher
