    North Carolina DIY Glycol chilled Sanke with Chest Freezer

    Ok, I'm gonna part this out. $200 for the freezer (pretty sure it's 7cuft). $50 for the keg $30 for the temp controller $20 for the copper

    North Carolina DIY Glycol chilled Sanke with Chest Freezer

    I put together this thing last year before I got out of the brewing hobby. Here's a thread with pictures. I'll sell the whole shebang for $350 (includes chest freezer with collar, ST-1000 temperature controller, a Sanke keg (dip tube removed), 50' of copper tubing, and 8' of Flex-Watt...

    Two-tier all-grain Stainless RIMS Rig for sale - Greensboro, NC

    It's approx 7' x 2'. It rolls like a gem too, so you could store it and move it out for brew days.

    Well my father-in-law is a welder, so he and I did it all.

    Two-tier all-grain Stainless RIMS Rig for sale - Greensboro, NC

    Really the only major thing I would change would be making it single tier but that is really just an aesthetic change since I already have two pumps. There would be a little bit different piping in that case of course too. Why don't you save yourself some trouble and come take a look at this...

    Using MLT/RIMS to make chicken stock

    Yeah, you're right. I'd have to run some kind of soap through and then PBW. Good news is I have a SS chugger pump and 1/2" stainless hard plumbed system. Otherwise I don't even think I'd consider it.

    Using MLT/RIMS to make chicken stock

    Yeah, I guess I should've mentioned my MLT is a keggle, so there would only be stainless touching the stock. I guess a good long soak and circulation with hot PBW should eliminate any stubborn fat right?

    Using MLT/RIMS to make chicken stock

    Has anyone here attempted this before? False bottom, precise temperature control, large cooking vessel. Seems like it would work but I worry about all the fat and floating debris somehow getting into a nook or cranny and never coming out. I don't think I would risk running the stock through my...

    Seeking feedback/advice for temperature controlled sanke fermenter

    Here's the latest update on this project. I'm still not convinced it will work, but it is coming together more or less as I had planned. I built a relatively standard, simple slip on collar using 2x4 and 1x6. I drilled a couple of holes to hold 4" nipples (I think they are 3/8"). This...

    Modifying a Chugger pump head

    Thanks for the info, my father-in-law is a welder, so my labor is free.

    Valve actuator retrofit

    Yeah, I'm sort of in the same boat. The only thing I found that might have worked, which I can't find again right now, listed a time of 90s to open or close. That's WAY too long for this valve. I don't particularly mind the actuator being only two states since I generally use the valve as an...

    Modifying a Chugger pump head

    Yeah, of course you COULD do that! In fact, right now I use one of these for my input. But the ID of a 3/4" NPT is about 1/2" whereas the ID of a 1" TC is about 7/8". Also, I'd prefer not to have threaded connections post boil, although as mentioned, this is a secondary concern. Tell me more...

    U-Shaped RIMS tube

    I'm currently conceptualizing my next build and an considering a U-shaped RIMS tube to keep all my wiring on the back side of the rig. Is there any reason to think that 1.5" tubing with a 180* turn would cause any problems with flow, heating, temperature readings etc?

    Best way to wire indoor BCS to outside brew rig?

    Thanks for the advice. I luckily already have a 120V GFI outlet in my covered outdoor brew area. I am planning to set up my fermentation chamber a short distance away, just inside a window, so I could easily run the CAT5 out that way.

    Modifying a Chugger pump head

    I can't recall seeing this idea done much if at all on these boards, but it seems like an interested possibility. I was wondering about welding triclover fittings onto a Chugger pump head. I have two stainless center inlet chugger pumps with Triclover X FPT fittings. The ID of a 1" triclover...

    Valve actuator retrofit

    Does anybody know of an (affordable) valve actuator that could be retrofit to one of these three way ball valves?
