Plastic inline chugger pump. Used maybe 3 or 4 times. Changing my setup around. $100 shipped.

Selling a 24v solar pump (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DWORE6E/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20) along w/ 24v AC adapter and PWM control board. Setup was tested but never actually used in my setup, I ended up going with a 2nd chugger. Asking $27 includes shipping and PP fees.

I've been researching this all day but I'm stumped. I'm hoping someone here can help answer this question. I want to start building a HERMS system using 240v elements. I have a 4 prong 240v dryer outlet in my garage and don't really want to run a new outlet. The outlet is on a 30a non-GFCI...

Looking to add a timer to my panel build. I'm looking for something that can possibly set multiple time intervals so I can use it to time mash steps and hop schedule.

I've been working at moving towards electric brewing for the past few months now and have been slowly buying parts. The big hold up was trying to figure out a 240v power source. My garage does have a 240v dryer outlet but it is non GFI and about 20 ft away from my stand. In the end I decided...

I'm looking at switching over to HERMS so I was looking into stainless coil and compression fittings, but damn these fittings are expensive. I found a good deal on some fittings from Tylok that state they are 100% 316 stainless, however the collar comes w/ an MoS2 coating to help with sealing...

I currently have a DIY CFC made from 25' of 3/8 copper inside a garden hose. works great. I'm now looking to move to a HERMS system and decided to build an HEX coil instead of a coil in the HLT. I figured this could also double as a CFC as well. I thought about using my CFC at first but...

I currently have a 70qt Coleman Xtreme cooler I use as my mash tun. This thing has been great but I think it's a bit overkill for my 5 gallon batches and takes up a lot of space on my bench. Since I will be getting a 10 gal igloo cooler to use as an HLT I decided to convert to a 10 gal for my...

I tried making a cider for my wife but ended up screwing it up horribly. After giving it more thought, she's more partial to Apple ale than to cider, so I decided to give that a shot. I'm going to brew up a small batch of basic light unhopped (maybe lightly hopped) beer and try adding apple to...

I've read the threads in balancing my lines. Right now I'm at 12 psi so I figure 5 ft of poly tubing at 2.2 + 1 for the tap gives me 12. However my tap sits on top if the keg so I loop my lines a few times to keep it together. Its about a 10 in diam loop so about 3 loops. Do I have to account...

I have a 20 cf stand up freezer in my garage i converted to a fermentation chamber with an stc-1000. Now that ive gotten into kegging it occurs to me i may want to chill my kegs to serving temp but still ferment my brew. since buying a 2nd freezer is not an option, I'm thinkin of building a...

I have a CFC I built last November that I am looking to improve on. I live in TX and when I used it last November it worked ok w/ the ground water and got my wort down to about high 70s in one pass. I tried to use it again this past sunday but my ground water is so hot it barely made a dent...

So this is my first run on using my garage freezer as a fermentation chamber. I built a temp controller out of an stc-1000 and did a few test runs and it seemed to work well. i tested with a jug of water and placed the probe inside and let it sit overnight. checked the next morning with my...

I'm getting ready for a brew day this weekend so I placed an order for a packet of Denny's Fav since my LHBS did not carry it. It came in yesterday and the packet was already bloated. It wasn't packed very well (it was thrown in a USPS small flat rate box w/ an ice pack and nothing else) so i...

OK so I've decided to start moving towards electric brewing. At some point I will be building a control panel for fully automated brewing but for now I'm just looking at powering a 5500w element. I brew in my garage and there is a 240v 30a dryer outlet in there but its about 20 ft away from my...

Si I'm trying to put together a DIY stir plate but i cant seem to get stir bar to stay spinning. I'm using: a spare PC fan I had (rated at 1600rpm) 5v ac adapter 25ohm 3w pot RS project box 1 1/2" octagonal stir bar w/ pivot ring (5/16 diameter) 2L flask as for magnets, I pulled a couple...

I'm looking into building a sofc for my garage but wondering how it does in high temp situations. I live in El Paso, TX and temp is currently 60-70s but during the summer it can get up to 100 and over that in my garage. Will the chiller hold up against these temps or is it a lost cause? Any...

Working on a yeast starter for my brew this weekend. Date on the package is 9/30/13. Beersmith gives the viability at 93.76% but yeastcalc and mr malty give it at 80%. Which # should I go with? I'm thinking of erring on the cautious side and going with 80%, which would mean a 2 stage starter...

I was hoping to start my first all grain brew tomorrow but when looking in to making yeast start I realized i didnt order the DME to make the starter. I cant get any locally and ordering some would take a few days to come in. Would it be ok if i went ahead with everything and took some of...
