Looks awesome! What kind of pumps are those?

We have a teenage daughter, so total usage is pretty high.

No worry on the hijack. One could also have tri-clamps on the vessel ports, use tri-clamp valves and tees for temperature sensurs, but then have TC-camlock fittings facing the user. This would give you the benefits of (1) being able to orient all the valve-ish bits without worrying about...

1. The chiller has a cross-piece on the top with holes. I bolted it to one of the unistrut members that runs front-to-back on the underside of the wood top. 2. I think mine had odd connections for the water in/out. Morebeer says that it uses "¾ inch MPT and ¾ inch FPT garden hose fittings"...

After cleaning up from brew day this last weekend, I snapped a couple of photos to show how things ended up evolving after the first few brews. BrewKaiser nailed it that the TC fittings on the HLT and MLT are a bit of a PITA. I'm in the process of replacing them with cam-locks. I'm also...

+6 gal "Big Stout" +6 gal American Pale +6 gal Rye Pale 663 + 18 = 681

I used two of these in my controller: https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/Relays_-z-_Timers/Solid_State_Relays/Panel_Mount_Relays,_Hockey_Puck_Style,10A_-_75A_(AD-SSR6_Series)/AD-SSR640-DC-280A Only a few brews on my system so far, but no issues yet, and they seemed to be...

Spike Conical CF10, so hot right now!

It really is a nice looking setup!! What sort of covering/coating do you have on the floor?

Just a guess on the color contribution from the frappuccino. -Homer Tragedy of the Unicorn Belgian Pale Ale (24 B) Type: All Grain Batch Size: 5.00 gal Boil Size: 6.53 gal Boil Time: 60 min End of Boil Vol: 5.99 gal Final Bottling Vol: 4.60 gal Fermentation: Ale, Two Stage...

I don't see them either, just ~12x12x6 in. Another option that avoids cutting the square hole is something pre-cut like: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34&products_id=143 But, I would make sure the controller was no where near the kettles since it has...

Wow, looks like it uploaded right-side-up. I've tested one of the elements successfully. I ended up building a small partition wall in the garage to hold the control panel and paraphernalia. A little more plumbing to finish up and then test the boil kettle. I will get some more pictures of how...

Ok, not sure if this will upload, but here's the work in progress. Bored, sitting, waiting to get seated for dinner; so here I am posting with my phone.

This seems like a good size for the single kettle build, and the plastic will be easy to cut. Winning. :mug:

On top of the frustration, cramming the components and wires is unsafe for a number of reasons. Spend a little extra on the box to get the bigger size.

Fired up the HLT side of things last night. Turns out my old March pump may have bitten the dust--wouldn't spin. I'll try taking it apart and see if there's an obvious cause. Was able to raise ~8 gal of water from 50 to 100 degF in about 12 minutes. This is in the ballpark of other estimates...

Thanks BK, I've had the thought on my mind after using the TC fittings while testing last weekend. I knew there was no sanitary benefit on the hot side, but figured on using TC to be consistent with the rest of the rig. However, for the reasons you mention, I am looking at replacing some of the...

I've been building a unistrut frame over the last few weeks, not really photo-documenting along the way. Strut was from box store. Ordered fittings from strutchannelfittings.com, and got a cheap-ish chop saw from harbor freight. Here is a preview of the not-quite-finished kettles on the...

OK, admittedly, this part is a little absurd. Ss Brewtech Infussion mash tun. Obviously overkill with HERMS, but this was actually the first piece of equipment I bought, when still thinking I would be doing gas, single infusion brewing (maybe using RIMS to ramp to mash out). Planning to...

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to listening to the show. I also just stumbled upon a Bellingham Homebrewers Guild thread about getting some yeast. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/bellinghambeer/ug1JnI2qsdo/Ajy8F20-eAUJ Cheers!
