I have been asked to put together some prices for a proposed combo Ale House & Brew Pub. I am needing a list of all the parts/equipment to consider. We have a former bar located with a cooler room about 30' from the bar. I would like to have 20 tap handles for craft (1/6th bbl) and non craft...

I just bought this used Perlick faucet and I need to get a repair kit. Can anyone tell me the model and if I can use the repair kit from a 525 that is sold at Amazon or similar place... also wondering the cheapest place to purchase replacement parts. Also, here is a link for some 425 parts...

Nope - I am still here. I am a little broke still trying to gather a couple of things to get my system in place. I home brewed for 10 years (starting in the early 90's and was mostly self taught because of the lack of info) before I then worked at two brewpubs. Ten years after those...

Wow... drooling into my coffee mug! I need to turn away from this thread before I start thinking seriously about which of my kids I can sell to afford a setup like that creative, cool build!

The new fittings on the bottom are hard to see, but it is a 1-1/4" turn off valve attached to the carboy with a Fernco-like (2-1/4" x 1-1/4" reducing) coupling with band clamps. The valve buts right up against the glass inside the coupling. The ID of the fittings is 3/4" with the addition of...

and there is no reason to fear this... even my wife's kitty isn't afraid of the inverted carboy throne!

I swapped out fittings and now have a turn off valve. I want to start fermenter but I am being held up by a welder that has my 1/2 bbl BK.. soon!

standard stuff

'Bithead' WOW so negative! Positive comments or constructive criticism are much more to my, and I'm sure everyone's, liking! Perhaps you didn't take the time to read the entire thread. I have brewed with this inverted glass carboy 3 times about 10 years ago. The wooden frame is a VAST...

Here is a quick stand I put together with rolling casters. I only put ~ 1 gallon of water in the carboy for now, mainly because I need to find some fittings to close up one of those nipples and other misc stuff. For now:

I hope to remove the majority of the trub as it settles and before the yeast starts to settle out. Even though it's not 60 degrees, there should be ample yeast making it's way to the lower neck and I intend to have a racking tube up in the neck a little ways (adjustable) to suck down some of...

That orange cap that is on the bottom was used for several brews 10+ years ago and I never had a problem with it coming off. The picture below shows what I used. That is a 1-3/8" OD diamond coated hole saw chucked into my Ryobi hand drill. The reddish cup is designed to help you keep your...

That is the plan. I've had the cap laying around for a dozen years or so. When the upside down carboy systems came out (can't recall the Mfr name) the idea was better than reality. I was lucky to get half the trub out, forget about harvesting yeast and the CO2 bubbler tube often got debris...

I thought I would give it a shot. It was a bit nerve racking for the 10 minute cut time.... but I am jazzed now. I have yet to make a stand for it, but I hope to employ it to ferment 5-gallon batches and be able to rack off trub and hopefully harvest and re-use the yeast. Here are some pix:
