Does everyone recirculate during the entire mash process or just while heating? Are your pumps tuned wide open or gated down? I know a lot of questions. Just as an update my pumps came in today just waiting on all my connections thermometer and sight gauges and I should be good to go. Hoefully...

Catt22, what type of sparge device do you use??

Do you stir the mash during recirculation or is that bad?

I have a local propane supply shop (for home heating puposes) they also sell grill, pool supplies, etc. they have any kind of gas fitting you can think of and can make it in any length, the only problem they are not cheap!!!!

so there are a lot of questions about just using a piece of silicone tubing??? building a sparge type device will not be that big of a deal but lying a piece of silicone tubing on top of the grain bed will be a lot easier. i would still like to see what others are doing... as far as...

You can use black pipe for the supply and then the feed you have many options. I use a gas supply place locally and the can make about anything you want. Good luck

I am in the process of building my new single tier brew table!!! I will be using a 3 keg system and the mash tun will be direct fire and i want it to be recirculating the mash, it will have a false bottom. my question what type of set up do you guys us for your sparge device. and how did you...

Thanks for all the input so far!!! which do you think is better to go with, stainless steel, plastic and i have even seen some brass fittings??? Does triclover make a quick disconnect or is that just a valve?? thanks again...

I am "recreating" my brew system. I would any information you can give me about which quick disconnects you guys use and were you got them. These will be used for the keggles and the pumps. Also were do you get your silicone tubing that i see being used a lot. thanks in advance for your help.

shawn i saw your build on that thread the other day...looks great. that is exactly what i am thinking about doing. i will start calling around, i know a local weld shop that help me build my 3 tier system!! i also know a metal shop that deals only in stainless steel. so i will start calling...

i check there, i have on many threads seen guys that stated they bought their ss for around 120 dollars. according to the sellers on ebay it would be around 300?? not sure were they are getting those cheap prices? of course i may not be looking for the same thing either????

I am in the planning stages of building my single tier stand. i want to make it out of 2" square tube stainless steel (maybe 1.5"). i was wondering where you guys get your steel? any help would be great. i am sure i will have a ton more questions the further i get into this project. thanks...
