I'm working on getting a jockey box with a 6 pass cold plate built. I need to get it done asap, because I'm using it at a festival on May 5th. I want to serve 6 beers and I'm having trouble figuring out the line length I need to use and at what pressure. I bought the plate used (10" x 15") w/...

I've been working on a 1.5bbl system, and I've finally got all the plumbing done, valves hooked up, and ready to go... or so I thought. It's a single tier, 3 burner system, with the HLT and mash tun controlled with honeywell valves. Here's the setup from tank to burner. A 500K btu inlet...

I can find plenty of info on wiring up PID's and other things, but not much info on the DC power jacks/plugs, so that's why I'm posting this. I'm building control panel that can be disconnected from the wiring, just the same as Jlandins'. Here you can see the basic schematic he posted...

I'm building a 1.5 BBL single tier system for a nanobrewery I'm starting. We've broke ground and are about to send in the Federal paperwork, so we're getting down to the nitty gritty! Unfortunately, I've found some major flaws in my design. We'll have a 65 gal kettle, and two 75's for the mash...

So I've been trying to decide whether to go with the cheapest jet burners I can find or go with some that seem like they would be higher quality but far more expensive. http://www.tejassmokers.com/newproducts_page6.htm The first link is to a 200K BTU burner (doing a very large system). I...

I'm designing a brewing setup using 2" square A36 tubing. My design totalled about 72 feet in steel. I am looking at ordering 9 x 8' pieces from onlinemetals.com. The total for that order, including regular shipping, is $429. Does that sound reasonable? I've read a couple places that buying...

What does a starter of 2206 (bavarian lager) usually smell like? Mine smelled sulfury and sour. I tasted it and it tasted sour. Trying to figure out of it's infected. I'm brewing a doppelbock this Saturday, so I'm in the process of making a huge starter. I started with a 2206 activator and...

FFFFFF. Son of a *****. Has anyone ever went to a homebrew store and hour away because you didn't want to wait on shipping, then when you place your order they don't have the right hop and you end up getting a "substitute" that's nothing close to the correct one? I did just that today. I...

Can anyone tell me what the efficiency is for the sabco brewmagic system? I'm trying to figure out the cost of a 10 gallon batch with that system

I'm looking for a good grain mill. I'd prefer something like a Barley Crusher w/ a 15 lb hopper, but any good grain mill that is in good condition and is cheaper than buying new may do. Post anything you have to the thread. or email me... [email protected]

I want to start building a single tier automated system this summer, so I've been reading and researching different threads on these builds for awhile. I can't seem to figure out which model love controller is normally used. There isn't a very good description on the website of what the...

So I'm about to start kegging, and I only have 1 faucet but room for 2 or 3 kegs. I figured it would be pretty cool to rig up a bleed valve and gauge so I can just ferment lagers in the keg w/ my extra space, and bleed the extra pressure off. But a question is... must you siphon the beer to...

So I just looked on craiglist earlier and found a kegerator for sale. here's the link http://stlouis.craigslist.org/for/1587618286.html I am thinking this is a pretty F'n good deal... It was new in 2000. It runs great, the guy has never had any problems with it. Everything in the picture...

I'm trying to get a plan done for a cfc and so I'm looking for a march pump to buy. I found a pretty good deal on ebay... 113 free shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220546328971&_trksid=p2759.l1259 but I was wondering about the inlet size. It has 3/8" inlet and...

I just brewed a red ale with a wlp 007 yeast starter. There were no visible signs of infection, and the beer actually looks great and tastes ok. But there is some kind of taste to it that seems strange. I can't really describe it, since I haven't ever tasted an infected beer. One thing I...

I just brewed a batch today that ended up w/ an OG of about 1.08. I used a vial of wlp530 which is their abbey yeast. I didn't have time to make a starter so I just pitched it in from the vial. I didn't think the fermentation would start very quickly or be a very good fermentation w/o a starter...
