    Sizing a Hop Back

    I am putting together a 1 BBL system and plan on incorporating a hop back, but i need some input on the size. For people with similar sized systems, how big is your hop back, and are you happy with the capacity? Does anyone have a rough idea of how much volume an ounce of whole hops takes up...

    Cheap Stainless Drums from bubbasbarrels.com

    Found this site following a link on homedistiller and though some people on this board might be interested. I have been having a hell of a time sourcing 30 gal stainless drums, and this guy has them, along with 42 and 55 gal ones. The pricing isn't too bad either, especially when compared with...

    Ideas for sight glass material using hose barbs?

    I am in the design stage of making a few kettles with all sanitary fittings. The current idea I am working on is the sight glass for the HLT and BK. My plan is to use 90 degree hose barb tri-clover adapter like this: attached to a ferrule low on the side of the kettle. Some kind of...

    Sabco BrewMagic Sight Glass Material?

    SSIA, but basically I am working on a way to emulate the tri-clamp based sight glass designed used on Sabco systems. Thinking of using some 1" tri-clamp to 1/2" hose barbs (possibly with the 90 degree bend to simplify the design, thoughts welcome on this point) and ferrules soldered to the...

    Closet Cleaning in Athens GA

    So I have finally gotten my electric HERMS system fully operational, rendering much of my former equipment obsolete. I am moving out of my house in about a month, so I am trying to get rid of my extra gear to slim down a bit. See the ad below for all the details, but I have a cfc, a chest...

    Jabsco Cyclone Stainless Pump?

    Has anyone used or heard of these pumps? They have a stainless construction, stupid high flow rate and seem to be pretty reasonably priced. Just something I stumbled upon, and was wondering if people had any feedback on them and their application in brewing...

    Switch for running element at 120v OR 240V?

    So I am thinking of putting a rims tube together with a 240V 5000W HD element, and running it at the full voltage to heat up my strike and sparge water on its way from the filter to the HLT, then switching it to 120V and effectively making it a LD element when running wort through it as a RIMS...

    Pipe Threader Question

    So I have the opportunity to pick up a rigid pipe threader set (00-R) with 5 dies for $70 and had a couple (possibly stupid) questions before I pull the trigger: What size od pipe would I need to hard plump my system with 1/2" stainless and what would the minimum wall thickness be (ie. what...

    WTB Chillzilla/Chillus Convolutus

    Just brewed at a friends house today and fell in love with the all copper, convoluted design of these chillers. Anyone have one laying around that they want to get rid of? If so, drop me a line and let me know what you want for it! Thanks much, brew on!

    Connecting spunding valve to sanke coupler?

    So I am getting redy to purchase the parts for a few spunding valves and I am hitting a snag on one point. I have the pressure reliefs and gauges sourced (both 1/4 npt), but I don't know the best/most secure way to attach the valve to the coupler. I know some people have used 1/4 flared...

    3 wire 240v GFCI question

    So my control panel has 2 separate inputs each with its own inline gfci, one 120v running to the power in and neutral busses, then a 240v that runs through a breaker, then a contactor (coil powered by the power bus and controlled with a 2 POS on/off switch) to the element. When I tried to auto...

    FS: 3 Gal Corny

    I have one more 3 gal Cornelius brand ball lock keg that I am getting rid of to fund the final stages of my HERMS build. The keg is in fine shape, holds pressure just fine, and has only held cleaner/sanitizer since I bought it. Asking price is $65 plus shipping from GA. Just shoot me a pm if...

    Power/E-stop Wiring for 2 inputs (120V & 220V)

    Since my only 220V access is a 3-pole outlet, I have to run one 120V line in as well as a 220V line for my 5500W heatstick element. However, I am having some trouble figuring out how to wire both of these into my control box in a logical, cohesive manner, and was hoping some some of the...

    On/Off Power Controller?

    I am in the process of putting together a big bad heatstick, and I am looking for a way to control the power output so that I can turn it down for boiling, basically something similar to the PID run in manual mode (10%, 20% power etc). Is there a simple controller that can perform this if I...

    Would this work for a 20A/120V power cable?

    I am getting ready to finish putting my control panel together and have been looking for a cable to connect with my inline GFCI (20A) rating, and was wondering if the cable below would work. I am almost positive that it should be fine for a 20A system, but the whole "boat wire" thing is...

    20A 120V Inline GFCI Cables

    So I am in the midst of putting my hybrid HERMS system together and I bought a bunch of these 20A 120V cords because they were cheaper in bulk, but I only needed a few of these. So I am offering the two extras that I have for $25 each or $40 for both shipped to the cont. US. If anyone has any...

    Control Panel Design Check

    Alrighty, so I am starting to get everything for my control panel together and I was wondering if people would mind checking my math and giving me any recommendations for the design/layout. The scan didn't come out as well as planned, so I'll break it down a bit. First, I am trying to figure...
