    Butterfly valve handle

    I got a deal on a TC valve (this one: Amazon.com: DERNORD Sanitary Butterfly Valve with Pull Handle Stainless Steel 304 Tri Clamp Clover (2 Inch) : Industrial & Scientific) but part of the reason for the deal is that the valve doesn't have the ball on the end of the handle. I thought finding the...

    Virginia Chapman SteelTank

    Ported Chapman SteelTank Univessel from the original KickStarter. Gallon markings on this very first run were a little off. I don't rely on the gallon markings on my fermenters, so it didn't matter much to me. Ball valve is included. It currently has a male camlock on it, but that can be...

    Keezer Rebuild After First Died

    Everyone has seen a million keezer builds, so I'll just post the "finished" pictures. I just finished, except for the gas lines from the manifold. I'm waiting on some swivels and washers to arrive. My old keezer died a while ago, and I finally got around to putting together a "new" one. My old...

    Mistakes during first recirculation attempt

    I didn't really think through the issues I might have when I attempted my first recirculation. The wort would not flow through my manifold fast enough to keep up with my chugger, even when the output of the pump was turned down to the point where it was barely a trickle coming back into the mash...

    BIAB mash recirculation through whirlpool

    On my next batch, I am going to try to go BIAB, mainly to simplify equipment and cleaning. I have a 10 gallon Bayou kettle with the basket, to which I added a whirlpool port in the side. I currently don't have an electric setup and brew on a propane burner. I know there are some who...

    Finally finished my Igloo Cube 48 quart mash tun

    Thanks to all the guides and pointers in this forum and elsewhere, I've finally finished my mash tun. I now have the capability to fly sparge, but my last batch sparge was at 80% efficiency, so it may be a while before I actually use it to fly sparge. The most difficult part was adding the...

    Boshart thermometer

    I just bought one of these and just wanted to post it in case anyone else was looking to put together an in-line thermometer. This is cheaper than anything I could find at any of the usual sites... And it has a 2.5" stainless thermowell (although the pictures just show the brass.) Shipping...

    Bayou Classic bulkhead threads

    I got a deal on a Bayou Classic 1140 kettle with a spigot. I must say that I like the kettle better than my old economy 7.5 in which I was brewing. I wanted to put an elbow on the end instead of the straight coupling so that I could get more wort into the fermenter... So I purchased a basic...

    Wobbly keg for conversion

    I was looking for a reconditioned keg to convert to a keggle and the ones I can find are (in the words of the supplier) "a bit wobbly" because the bottoms expanded due to freezing. My question is, assuming I could get it to sit on my burner without being wobbly, would this be an issue using...

    Adding chelator (citric acid?) to oxygen cleaner

    Can one of you chemistry type people tell me if I could just add some powdered citric acid to Sun Oxygen Cleaner to act as a chelator so there's less/no white scale left behind? Thanks!

    DIY stir plate questions

    I'm getting together everything I need to build a stir plate and I have a few questions that hopefully someone can answer. First, I see some people stating to test it before it is epoxied to get everything lined up... But I don't see where anyone says how to do that. How do I keep it all...

    Opinions on this potential primary

    I brew 5 gallon batches and I'm not really looking to upgrade all my brewing equipment to 10 tallon batches right now... I found this which I think may make a good primary for my size batches...

    WTT wired Ranco ETC-111000 for Faucet + Handle + Shank + Tailpiece
