Thinking about installing BCS in my 50 amp control panel. Does anyone have a wiring diagram? I want to see what's involved before I take the dive .

Three-vessel 50L (13.2gal) keggle system on 1 5/8" slotted strut stand. This system took me about 1 year to build, the panel taking the longest but I knew nothing about wiring and taught myself along the way. The panel was very intimidating, but after learning more I quickly became more...

Came out to my car this morning to a nice surprise! One of my buddys (still dont know who) dropped them off in front of my garage. I tossed them in the garage before I went to work. Upon further inspection I noticed they are not the firkins ive seen before (these are not the firkins you...

First beer, all grain, on my virgin welded keggles. Hit all my numbers in the end, super stoked about how everything went. Even after the gods tried to shoot me down when I forgot to pre heat my mash tun, didn't hit my strike temp and had to direct fire and recirculate to get up to temp. Oh...

I felt like this needed to be shared, I did a lot of searching for a setup I was happy with and this is what I ended up with. I had about a gallon of deadspace, now I have 2 tbsp.:ban: 12" false bottom -amazon high flow 1/2" elbow and washer from bobby at brew hardware 2ea quick...

Made a cyser, completely fermented dry and its carbonated in my keg right now. I want to add AJ concentrate like ive done in the past. The kicker, is I want to get it out of my keg and into bottles to make room for a beer I need to keg. Here is my plan. Dump a couple cans of AJ...

I have a dry Cyser in one of my kegs, its carbonated. Its good, but would be better a tad sweeter. I also need my keg for an upcoming scotch ale, so the cyser has to move to bottles. I want to add a can of AJ concentrate, but do not want to make bombs :) Is it possible to add sorbate after...

Doing some test runs and leak checks while I wait for USPS to deliver a few things. Darn holidays getting in the way of my first brew.... Do these numbers look good? I have the SQ14 burner with a 7" shield around the burner. When opening up the regulator all the way with the breather valve...

Had some leftover SS sheet so I got a couple ss clips and a few rivets and made this. What do you think? Better than the foil ball? ;)

I found a box of hose clamps in the garage. I looked them up they are stainless, but they are 301. I need a couple for my MLT for the tube that goes from the false bottom elbow to the bulkehead barb. Would they work ok? PN: MS-35842-11 PN: AN737TW-56

I had to recently have the bottom of a keggle welded because it had a pressure relief valve stamped on the bottom of it. It got me thinking. I am a backpacker, and I have done a bit of research on stove efficiency. I am aware electric is the way to go if you want to get down to the dirty...

Bought it from a local home brewer that works at a distribution facility, good guy, bought a couple others off of him. Got this one home and AFTER I cut the top off, I noticed the dent in the bottom. Feels really thin along the edge. I was planning on getting some fittings welded in tomorrow...

Experienced cider and wine maker. I dove in last week and bought myself an early Christmas present to kick things off in the beer world. 15gal Keggle, 3 ports. 2 20gal stainless pots. are free, used in a factory for a couple of years, they were used to heat honey for packaging, they are...

Trying to clear my cider in the next week or two. I looked around at a few different fining agents and decided to give sparkolloid a shot. The instructions on the package are vague, and told me to mix 1 cup boiling water with 1tbsp powder and let sit for 5min. I did that and then added it to...

I have 4 apple trees, 4 weeks of vacation, a harbor freight 20ton shop press converted into a rack and cloth press, and a 3/4 hp disposal for pulping. I did some small scale pressing last summer with a 4x4 press I bolted together some leftover apples in storage and had a blast until I broke some...

I am lucky enough to live 5min away from a local apple orchard that presses and sells cider year round. I was buying their gallon jugs of Honeycrisp and regular apple cider for a while before I decided to start brewing. They brew it there, but I am not a fan of the couple types they make...

I searched and haven't come up with anything, I recently had a Ace pineapple hard cider and enjoyed how different it was. I have kegs and I was thinking about experimenting with some frozen pineapple concentrate. I have never used frozen concentrate, I am about two weeks away from racking to...
