I purchased two of the Dernord 5500w ripple stainless elements with integrated tri clamp flange and L6-30 connector on Amazon. Has anyone had difficulty in mating these with a female L6-30 twist lock receptacle? I have no problem plugging it in, but am having big issues unplugging the cord from...

I’ve finally completed the build of my 3-vessel electric HERMS brewing system. The process took several years. I enjoyed the build, but in the meantime brewing has taken a back burner to other priorities. As a result, I’ve made the difficult decision to sell the system in its entirety. The...

I have two BrewHardware Hot Pod ETC element enclosures with integral 1.5” Tri-Clamp Ferrules and two Camco 2962 5500W heating elements for sale. These were temporarily wired up, but the elements have never been fired. One element has a tiny bit of corrosion from an overnight leak test, but I’m...

I’m parting with several components of my old system as I am building a 3-vessel E-HERMS. 1- Brew Bag mesh bag for brew-in-a-bag all grain brewing. This is sized for an 82-quart gallon Bayou Classic kettle which was 19 inches in diameter and 17 inches tall. $15.00 1- Arbor Fab 10” tall by 6”...

I’m upgrading my system and would like to sell my 5 gallon beverage cooler MLT. The domed stainless false bottom is brand New and never been used. The bulkhead is brass and includes a 3/8” NPT ball valve. I will include the pictured adapter and male camlock fitting, or a stainless hose barb...

Does anyone have an idea what I might use to create a dimple for silver soldering a 1/2” Tri Clamp ferrule with 1/2” OD tube into the wall of a brew vessel? I️ figure I’ll drill a 3/8 hole and use something as a die to create a dimple to widen the opening to 1/2”. I️ just don’t know what to use...

Sadly, I have come to the realization that I may never finish the E-HERMS build that I started years ago. I just don't have the time to devote to finishing or brewing with this rig, and will probably downsize to a single vessel system. As a result, I have decided to sell the control panel and...

I have an abundance of 1/2" tri clover fittings for sale. I was planning to utilize these for my HERMS system build, but decided to go with weldless fittings rather than welded. Please note that these fittings are for 1/2" OD tube, and are similar to those used in the SABCO Brew-Magic system...

I am looking for a competent welder capable of TIG welding several tri clover fittings into three keggles, and a couple other miscellaneous welding tasks. I've contacted a few local metal fabrication shops, but thought I'd reach out to HBT and see if anyone here can help me out.

I recently completed the 30 amp PID control panel kit from Ryan at Ebrewsupply. Having completed the build, I am really only unsure of one bit of wiring. I did not label the neutral wires that go from each SSR to the respective PID, and since those wires are running underneath the backplate of...

Yesterday I made a 5 lb batch of smoked kielbasa according to the recipe in Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing. I put the stuffed sausages in the fridge overnight, planning to smoke them today. Well, things got away from me and I now have no time to smoke the sausages for the next couple...

I bought a 13.5 lb USDA packer brisket that I plan to smoke on my 30" Masterbuilt electric smoker. I'd like to make sliced flat and burnt ends from the point. I have two problems: 1) The whole brisket is too long to fit on the smoker shelf. I suppose I can roll the thin end of the flat...

Hi everyone, I am working on a 3 vessel brewing system based on half barrel kegs and am looking for someone in central Iowa capable of doing TIG welding, hole cutting, and related metalwork on the three keggles. The work would involve drilling holes on the kegs, welding 1/2" Tri Clamp...

I carried out a double batch brew day about a month ago. I brewed a batch of Dusseldorf Alt and a Kolsch. I prepared a single 4L starter of Wyeast 1007, which I split between the two fermenters. I fermented both beers in Corny kegs side by side in my fridge at 60F for two weeks, then let them...

Hi all, I'm considering building a false bottom and hop bag out of stainless steel for my new brew stand. I have searched the forums, but haven't found a definitive answer regarding the materials to use to construct these items. I'm thinking about making the MLT false bottom with...

I am starting to plan out the next stages of the single tier brew stand build that my brother and I are working on. Single Tier Build We have revised our initial plans somewhat, and are now planning an all-electric HERMS system with elements in the HLT and BK, rather than the gas-fired system...

Does anyone happen to know what Goose Island's house ale yeast strain is? I'm referring to the one used for their standard, non-Belgian beers (312, Honker's Ale, IPA, etc.) I was at their Clybourn pub back in August and really enjoyed their Green Line Pale Ale, which is only available on draft...

I recently started filtering my beers. I like being able to serve bright, sediment free beer, especially to those that I'm trying to convert to craft and homebrewed beer. While I don't filter everything, I do filter beers that I plan to transport and serve elsewhere. I plan to do some...

I would like to try fermenting a lager in a corny keg in my Oster mini-fridge that also serves as a 2-tap kegerator. I have a Johnson A419 digital temperature controller, so I have everything I need to make this happen. However, I want to make sure that running my fridge on an external...
