I've been out of the hobby for a while now. Still keeping an eye on things, just not that close. Anyway it's time for me to come out of retirement and get back to it. So it seems that all of my past links to Brewtroller have gone dead. I'm hoping that they have just changed rather than gone...

I'm sure the MegaPot 1.2 has been discussed here. But I could not find anything with a search. My search abilities suck. So my question is as easy as reading the thread title. I want to replace my keggles with MegaPot 1.2's but I'm not sure of the thickness of the stainless. Are they thick...

I'd like to use some of the smaller tri fittings on some projects I have in mind. I need some 3/4" mini MPT and FPT fittings. I'd also like to find them in weld fittings as well. Of course I'll also need clamps and gaskets. Anybody have a place to buy them? Specifically 3/4 mini to 1/2" pipe...

Hey guys, been away from the hobby for a while. Still loving the hobby, just no time to do it these days. I'll return some day, soon I hope. Anyway, I have happened into a few ball lock kegs that I can sell. So I looked in the adds and see asking prices of 45-55.00 but no confirmation if...

Looking for a BCS. Anybody have one to sell?

Anybody have any suggestions as far as how to? I'd like to hard pipe my system with SS. I know I'll have to TIG and backgas, but not sure if that is the way to get the perfect "Foodgrade" weld on the inside. I've seen some welded SS and the inside looks nearly as perfect as the tube.

I have several of these to sell. NIB. $5.00 + shipping Buy several and I can do better on price. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

Anybody know anything about Food Safe Anti-Seize? My big fear with stainless fittings is galling. I had some threads gall one time and ruined a project. I always use teflon tape but am still afraid of galling. So I recently heard of the FS Anti Seize. McMaster Carr has a couple different...

Sorry for the simple question. But here goes. I want to control a heating element with my Ranco. The element uses 9.2 Amps. I have looked at the specs of the Ranco and am unsure if a heating element will be used under Normally Open, or Normally Closed. I'm thinking NO, but before I burn up a...

Anybody have a good source for Thermocouples or RTD's? I recently bought a PID that will work with either type sensor. I don't know the difference between the two, so how do I decide which I need? I found thermocouples at Automation Direct but they run about $30.00 plus shipping. Seems a...

Anybody local interested in a really cool Fermentation Cabinet? It has a cooling system in the base. I figured I would use it for cooling and a small heater for heating. I was told when I bought it that it is a flower cabinet. There are 6 Cornies lined up in the rear. It would be awesome...

I'm starting to realize that the Brewshed probably won't happen. So I will offer up for sale the nice 2 basin sink I bought last year. It is used but in good condition. Obviously too big to ship, so likely a local sale. But I don't mind driving if we can work something out. SOLD

OK MrMalty tells me that I need 568 Billion yeast cells in a 7.17 Liter starter for my brew. I have a 5 liter flask so am limited to about a 4 liter starter. I have done a 2 liter starter with 1 tube of yeast. It is now chilling and I plan to decant and add fresh wort to build my starter. Now...

OK I am getting ready to do an Anchor Steam Clone. Being a Hybred beer seems to create some question as to starter size needed. I'll use WLP-810 yeast, which is a Lager Yeast. But will ferment at Ale Temps. I'm thinking 66* F, to 70* F, not locked into the temp yet. So I checked MrMalty and for...

I made my own Stir Plate based on a computer fan as many here have done. I'm now doing 11 gallon batches and of course larger starters. I've never had very good luck with the computer fan, but for smaller starters it was tolerable. But just won't work for the bigger starters needed for larger...

Mr Malty wants the birthday of the yeast. The White Labs vial has "Best Before" What is the birthday to use?

Need a little advice. I did an IPA, fermented 1 week @ 68* F. Then dropped the temp to 50* F for a little clearing time. Today I drained the trub from the conical and put in my Dry Hops. I figure on a 2 week dry hop then keg. Should I drop the temp now while dry hopping? Or leave it at 50*...

Looking to replace my Keggles with Blichman Boilermakers.

Looking for opinions here. Yesterday I did an IPA on the new brewery. I'm still in learning mode on the setup. And had major boil over trouble. But eventually got the brew done and in the conical. Well when all is said and done my OG came out low. Expected OG 1.066 and actual was 1.061. But...

I need a couple pounds of hops. Who is the best supplier? Or I should say who do you suggest?
