Say it ain't so! That was one of my favorite beers with a quite appropriate name. I used to get it on tap all the time.

I have a 2nd 1/2bbl that I had already planned (started) to convert to an e-keggle using a 15G Blichmann boilcoil.

I paid much less for mine and got it from someone that probably couldn't figure out why it didn't work. Shipping was around $50. The units are fairly small and don't weigh much since they don't have a compressor.

It would likely work just fine. I just bought a surplus solid state chiller on Ebay. It will do about 900W cooling and easily chills down to 32F. They were previously used in (i believe) GE MRI machines. The one I got worked very well aside from the pump being garbage. I bought a NOS...

I did some looking around here and with google and can't seem to find anyone that has tried this. I am upgrading to a SS fermenter and putting together an electric keggle. I've got a 1/4 bbl pony keg that I was contemplating using as a mash tun as well as a 2nd 1/2bbl. I do 5g batches only...

Everything post boil was stainless except for the bucket and tubing. The tubing is silicone and was submerged in iodophor for 20 minutes prior to use. The BK is stainless with a weldless bulkhead and ball fitting that get disassembled and cleaned after each brew (they have only been used twice...

Unfortunately I don't keg (yet) so that wasn't an option. I may have tried to save it if it was, but I was just so disappointed in myself for wasting ~$50 in ingredients doing what I knew I shouldn't have....

I'm sure it happens to the best of us at one point or another. I went to bottle a chocolate stout today and as usual, I sample, test FG and taste. SG was good, but it was awful. Sour beyond words and smelled terrible. I'm so disappointed that I had to dump the whole batch. I knew I...

Were you able to sell the empty unconverted keg you had?

Yep, can confirm... I used one of the rubber carboy caps when I did my RIS a while ago. I had it in primary for 3 weeks and then racked to a glass carboy for 2ndary. That sat in my basement for almost 8 months and had the exact same floaters. As mentioned above, as long as they aren't...

I was never a professional welder but I took a welding course after HS and before going to college and got pretty damn good with a TIG torch. I welded quite a bit in college and even managed to learn to weld Aluminum on my own. I haven't touched a welder in probably 4 years and had to weld...

Yeah, I was thinking that the mesh you used seemed small. I was thinking of using the standard 3/32" or 1/4" perforated stainless that is typically used for false bottoms. No idea if this harebrained scheme would work. I may have to be the guinea pig. I'm going to have more volume than...

I would love to hear a followup on your mash basket. I had (what I thought was) a brilliant idea to hybrid BIAB with a standard mash tun, but I wanted to see if anyone had done it first. I'm planning an all electric build using Sanke kegs and I was thinking of doing something similar to what...

Were you able to sell the 1 extra keg you had?

You don't read too well do you? I'm pretty sure I said that it was their choice and I don't agree. You and anyone else can do and believe whatever you want. End of story.

This has been my point all along. If you (read: anyone) are comfortable using a pump that isn't *really* safe for use with food or hot liquids then you are welcome to use it. I have yet to get real confirmation that the TD5 is actually, really, truly food safe. You can believe the US importer...

You don't need to own a pump to look at datasheets and marketing claims with suspicion. We're all just looking for answers and truth here. When the US reseller of these pumps can't even get their information straight it really makes you wonder if they even know what they are selling at all...

I'm busy this weekend but I could come up the following weekend (7th or 8th). Let me know what works for you.

Digital I/O or any analog? I happen to have an HMI sitting around and I'd love to be able to use a PLC instead of individual temp. controllers.

Put me on the list as interested if no one else has gotten it first. I'm in CT but I can pick it up.
