Quick question - what size tubing will fit over 1/4" MPT threads? (I tried searching, but couldn't find a readily available answer)

Found this on Amazon and thought others might like to grab one before they run out. I plan on using it as mini ferm chamber a la Yooper, but it would probably make a heckuva mash tun too. Currently $38.40, with 17 left. http://www.amazon.com/Igloo-Cube-Maxcold-Roller-70-Quart/dp/B000F6UJ5K

Finally got around to testing my build last night [pics HERE, more to come] and ran into 2 problems. First, the alarm didn't work. I think I figured that out; no power supplied to terminal 13 on the PID. I corrected that, but haven't tested it yet. Second, I put in an indicator LED with...

Planning a toolbox controller build for an eBIAB system. Basically pirating voltin/johnodon/others, a la PJ. Major differences include using a power switch instead of an E-stop, and an added LED for "element on" in addition to "element power". Hoping you guys can take a look and let me know...

Just curious if anyone has had a similar experience with US-05 and Maris Otter. Brewed an Irish Red last week, basically following Jamil's recipe from BCS. 11.25 lbs. of Maris Otter, 6 oz. each of roasted barley, crystal 40 and crystal 120. Came out high on my OG (1.064), so I pitched 2 packs...

In planning my eBIAB build I've been checking out all the wiring diagrams I can find. I keep coming across diagrams and photos of 14 AWG directly connected to 10 AWG and run to various switches, LEDs, and alarms. My understanding is that anytime you drop in conductor size, you need...

Please forgive me for the possibly dumb question, but my wiring experience so far has been limited to the occasional outlet or light fixture. I am using 120v coil/240v 30a contactors from Auber (here) connected to my main power and element switches. The actual switch side is obvious, but it...

I'm starting to collect the parts for my eBIAB system and had a couple of questions. Here are the specs: 240V, 30A via a spa panel connected to a dryer outlet -1 PID/SSR, 1 5500W element -4 switches: - mushroom button - main power (using a contactor, not resistors) - Alarm -...

Looking for someone to weld on a 1 1/2" tri clover fitting in the DC/MD/VA area. Tried a search, but only came up with hits from a couple of years ago. If you know a good welder (or are one!), I could use some help. tjash

Anyone ever try to make one of the Brewers Hardware 1/1.5" triclamp element adapters (here) weldless by using a tri-clamp to male NPT fitting (here)? Pass the threads through a hole in the kettle, seal it up with a 1.5" locknut and silicone washer; maybe one on either side. Basically, a bigazz...

Starting to collect components for my build. Found this on ebay and bought 1 of 2. Thought someone else here might be interested in snagging the other. Open box, but the seller claims it is new. Will post here once it is delivered to confirm.

I plan to run 2 2000W elements of two circuits, both of which have outside outlets. One is a T-blade style L5-20, but the other is a standard household L5-15. They're definitely on separate circuits and both definitely have 20A breakers in the main panel. Any issue using a run-of-the-mill...

So, I've been trolling the Electric Brewing forum for the last month or so contemplating various builds and have really enjoyed seeing all the different approaches people have taken. I feel fairly confident that I could make do with some of the wiring diagrams P-J and others have put out there...
