Has there been any progress with this? I am extremely interested

I am definatly interested in this. I am in the next batch, so a coule of months? How many inputs/outputs are you looking at (5 temp in would be nice ;) ;)).

Thanks for the tips!

carb'd is not a concern for me, never really liked it as much. I guess when I was talking about keeping the yeast going, my main concern was to help with the ageing process. To allow the yeast to clean up after itself.

I will be honest; this will be my first Mead. Going for a sweet - semi sweat mead here is what I am thinking as of this point... Going for a sweet - semi sweat mead 40 lbs of orange blossom honey water to make 12 gal (roughly 8 gal) Oxygenate Add nutrient in parts Primary in 2...

Thanks for the tip,I will have to check it out!

Hey everyone, I am getting married in a few weeks and have a line on a good amount of honey (up to 60lbs of orange blossom). I am thinking about making a 12 gal batch of mead and pitching yeast on my big day. I was wondering if anyone out there can think of any good recipies that will not only...

My system uses both. Each keggle has a tri-clover fitting which allows me to put in an element (elec) or a cap (gas). very little additional cost to an electric rig and you would still be able to use it on a burner. This way, you get the best of both worlds as both obviously have pros and cons.

I actually lucked out... The guy lied about tacking the four sides. All I had to do is heat the fittings with a MAPP Tourch till the JB weld turned red then a slight tap with the hammer it was out. In 8 minutes I had all 3 1/2" couplings out and the 2" Triclamp as well. Tomorrow it goes to...

I basically figured the thing was written off as it is. If the guy can get it to work at least I can brew with my family this next week when I go to MN. I already have another keg and a welder back home that does a good job, that is my worst case scenario. Needless to say that guy is not...

I posted this here as it has no real purpose in the other categories but I just want to vent. Basically I found a welder on craigslist that said he would weld fittings (3x 1/2& 1x 2" tri-clover ferrule) onto my keggle for the price of $45. I specified tig welds throughout and showed him the...

I spend about $2 on electric for a 10 gal all grain batch and a propane tank will run me 3-4 brews. I know that a lot of people on this forum make it seem like one or the other is the greatest. They both have their pros and cons. I use both. Propane the start up costs can be far less (no...

I just checked out the home depot site, and this is only rated at 0.5psi.... Do you have any leaks running this at full blast?

I am kind of curious how much water you chilled... I'm not being skeptical just curious as the difernace between chilling 3 gal of boiling water versus 12 gal in 5 min is pretty big. I have just started thinking about chillers and this has caught my attention.

shushikairy, How many holes did you drill with your hardened stepper and how did it look after the fact?? I too have used the Harbor Freight stepper but found that after 2 holes the thing wore so much that 13/16 was definatly NOT 13/16. I have been debating bitting the bullet on a hardened...

Sounds like my set up. I have multiple cords with different plugs (m) set up to L14-30 plugs (f). this way I can take my control box to places with different power outlets and use my rig easily...

Actually that is 95% which is barely better then my E-Keggle was before making the element a disconnect.

Ok, granted I am not drunk, I just figured this would be the best place to post as it is a random rambling... I posted a picture of the brew rig design I am going to start building in a week and a half on my facebook account. Long story short, someone thought that one of the images looked...

Here are a couple of pages with instructions page 1, page 2. I dont think that the keg instructions are on those but all you have to do is take the orange cap and put it in boiling water for a little bit. This will soften it to the point that you can stretch it over the lip of the keg. I also...

I use a Carboy cap (orange one heated then formed around the keg) with a stainless dip tube and I hook up a co2 tank to it to the other part of the cap get the siphon formed. This works great, hope it helps.
