Hey Brewbuzzard, do you have any details on how you added that glass lid/port on your kettle lid?

These tanks are sold...

Sorry about the link, I just fixed that. And yes they're the same as the ones form Rural King. FedEx home delivery for each tank would be about $50. The box is 20" x 20" x 31" and weighs about 18#. So you'd be looking at $200 for the two tanks delivered. If your ordered two from Rural King...

I'm sure this should probably go under the "For Sale" section on the forum, but since this is one of the plastic conical threads I thought I'd post here... I have two brand-new-in-the-box Ace Rotomold A-INFD15-19 15 gal tanks for sale (e.g...

Sorry it took me so long to respond on this... My setup has held up fine after almost 3 years in use and 40+ brews chilled. I just have mine suspended with bungee cords on the back of my brew stand, and the only "issue" is that the PVC pips will sag from the heat over time. So I've flipped it...

If you don't mind me asking, whose system did you end up going with? IDD, Premier, Specific?

Marc - Since you clearly enjoy building these very cool setups, I have an idea for you that might work for varying the output flow from your pump that could be "automated". If you took the output hose and passed it through a channel of some sort, with one side of the channel being a hinged...

The copper loops come right off for cleaning as they're only held in place with short pieces of silicone tubing. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Nope I didn't try that. At the time all I was thinking about was pulling through the chiller to keep negative pressure on the tubing so it would "blow off" if I forgot and closed a valve. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I should probably add another comment... My first iteration using silicone tubing only for the loops on the end of the chiller, and as you can see in these last two photos I switched to copper and silicone. This is because when I was recirculating/whirlpooling back into my BK with two March...

MPT for male pipe thread. The compression fittings I used are brass, 5/8" compression on one side (I used o-rings instead of the ferrules) and 3/4" MPT on the other. Those are threaded into 3/4" FPT bushings glued into 1" PVC tees at the ends. Here's a not-so-great-photo: Sent from my...

The JB Weld was not the way to go. I rebuilt using brass compression to MPT fittings that I drilled out to allow the copper pipe to pass through. That solution has been rock solid. The JB Weld failed due to what I'd guess to be the expansion and contraction of the copper pipe during cooling...

Thanks. Glad it turned out the way it did - yikes! Is that 120V heating element working out for you as far as maintaining temps during cleaning of multiple kegs? I'm brewing on an electric setup now with 240V 5500W elements, so I'm wondering if I should go that route with the keg washer...

Nice build KBVC! marcb - With the tees in place and washing two sixtels at a time, have you seen any issues at all versus washing just one keg? Are both kegs staying at 170F during the wash cycle? And assuming no issues with your setup, do you feel the March pump you're using can also get...

Very nice build marcb!!! We hope to open a micro by the end of the year, and while there won't be much time for me to build rather than buy, I'm pretty sure that this will be one thing I build!!! Thanks for a great thread and all of the details and photos! :mug:

Here are a couple of pics of the standoffs I added...

Pete, I did get this setup working. Here's a link to my thread on another forum: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=297199#297199. I don't have a picture on hand but for the final implementation the false bottom rests only on the silicone covered tube around the...
