Sign me up. Cheers SS Brew tech!

I'm happy to hear you haven't abandoned your initial plan yet. The system looks to good to start making major modifications. You might have to take some precautionary measures to ensure your flow is well established prior to engaging the RIMS element but I have a hard time believing so many...

Count me in!

Thanks for the confirmation. I have no plumbing experience and wanted to double check. Jon

The second and third pic were of a tee I cut. I was trying to give a clearer picture of what I was seeing. Sorry for the confusion. I'm guessing it's just solder then. Thought I better check before getting I started building. Thanks

Hi, Finally building a mash tun. I picked up some copper fittings yesterday and upon closer inspection they seem to be coated on the inside of the joints. I'm guessing it is a soldering compound but I thought I should check to see if I should be concerned about using them in my setup...

Finally got my stirplate together. I ended up using a £0.99 PC fan speed controller in lieu of the rheostat listed in Anthony's opening post. Unfortunately Radioshack doesn't ship to Ireland and I've had very little success sourcing small parts here. I powered the unit with a variable AC...

I followed the designs provided by TomSD and Revvy. I recently relocated to Ireland and easily 90% of the time went to sourcing parts. It's a little ugly and the next one I make will be cleaner but the controller seems to be working well. I'm using a ceramic bulb for heat and I have a PC fan in...

Count me in.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, Taffman. I'm nearly ready for my first batch and I'll definitely be checking out thehomebrewcompany. I just joined beoir.org. It looks like a perfect place to seek out help out for some of the minor problems that have been holding me up. Disappointed that I...

New Hope is a great spot, we'll miss it. I wouldn't be surprised to move back after the upcoming adventure. There are decent restaurants and a solid selection of beer at the liquor store across the river in Lambertville.

I was expecting home brewing to be fairly common there as well but if it is it's not as well advertised. It does look like there's a solid community in England and I may have to get some supplies from the shops there. There is amazon.co.uk, I definitely need to dig there. I might be able to...

Just getting ready to relocate from New Hope, PA to Kinsale, Ireland. I'm planning to go all grain there and do 10 gallon batches. Ultimately I would like to get involved with the scene over there, you know, brew days, competitions and such. Unfortunately I'm having some trouble finding much of...

We spent a day in Cork last week while we were on our house hunting trip. I didn't get a chance to visit the pubs, I'll save that for our arrival, but I can tell you that it is a beautiful city. Good luck!

First I've seen the club! Damn! Might be able to fit in one of their meets before I move. I'm hoping there are clubs like this in Ireland. I'll be about 30 mins from Cork which is the 2nd largest city there. Thanks for the link!

Nearly everything I've wanted to ask has been answered 100 times! :) I'll be a bit more visible once I get my system together. Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to give back!

Hi Everybody, Somehow I missed introducing myself when I started coming here years ago, sorry about that. What can I say? I've been doing extract and specialty grain brewing for a few years now along with a few ciders, apfelwein, and my first wine. I'm just planning my first all grain...

Hi everybody, Anyone in or near Kinsale? My wife is taking an international assignment just outside of Kinsale and I'm planning to get serious about brewing while I'm there (getting ready to stock up on my all grain equipment right now). Just browsing online it seems like there are only a...

I could use all of that! Count me as replied.

19813.5 + 5 = 19818.5 gallons 5 more gallons waiting for me to get off my butt and inoc.
