After ferment I use another 5 gal paint strainer bag stuffed into my keg to clean up any junk while siphoning.. then wash out the bag for reuse.

I use 5 gal paint trainer bags hanging from the top of the boil kettle , attached with big binder clips. also have a fine mesh ss screen folded like a Taco and sewn in place around my drain tube inside of kettle.. the boiling agitates the bag well and drains by itself . the Taco screen flows...

I brew almost the same recipe all the time. I move my hops around and have tried quite a few. I din't notice anything off about Centennial but thats just me. Citra is my go to for this one. I do like Mosaic, Amarillo. I dry hop heavy, 3oz Citra

I had to ZIP the file, hope that helps

I do not, BUT I will assemble some spec's and post it . I am slow so give me some time. It's a cool piece

I do understand,,,,budget budget

My homemade Sankey tool

You would be wrong, I am picky about the ones I use. I like the Microstar. I take the others back. also please explain to me how paying a deposit and getting it back is dishonest? with all the rules for getting kegs these days , I keep the receipts. Wow, $100 for a small or any keg,,,,,,I do...

$30 is what my deposits are,,,,and if I need to I can get that back anytime

thats great to know, at that price I fail to understand why anybody would mess with a Corny. IMO

I too have a couple of ball lock kegs, my kegerator will hold 2 Sankey and 1 corny. I find the Sankey so much easier to use. I have a fellow that works at a small craft brewer that says they came up with a system that washes Sankey's without taking apart. Uses Iodophor if I remember right...

I found that my dist supplier does not care as long as he has his deposit. true I do not own the keg and to sell it would be illegal. but the deposit is like long term rent. As for tools, yeah I used pliers at first but quickly found a press tool makes it sooo easy. no need to depressurize...

I reuse commercial kegs , I just keep them after buying full of something i want to try. The deposit is $30. I built my own tools to remove the Sankey spear and clean up is very simple and reassembly is accomplished with the same tools. its like money in the bank I can return whenever and get...

Your alright,,,I built my setup a few years back, the finale set up has required very few changes,, it's very simple and way cool for brewing. I like most started on a Coleman camp stove in the garage using ice to cooldown ,,,most of my beer tasted like it had a shot of apple cider in it LOL The...

By the way I have been using this heater configuration for 3 years . no failures. I have had a power head fail ,,so I keep a spare

I am NOT going to argue with your math,,,and I am not an engineer. SO here is the plain truth. I started with 1 short Home depot $11 heating element. it would take an hour ( or longer ) to heat the water and make beer. I could not source a short 220v element, so I put 2 120v in series ,as in one...

In the for what it's worth,,I use a home-built Herms that heats 10g water for strike temp using 25ft 1/2"coil . uses a $10 dollar Chinese temp controller. 2 120v heating elements wired in series and running on 220v. It needs an aquarium power head to cirulate HLT water for quick heat up. My...
