I have a spare roll of 50ft of thin-wall SS tubing, my thought was to upgrade my setup to use a counter flow chiller. I understand how to put together a copper based CF chiller, but I am having a hard time piecing the parts for a SS version. I mostly blame this on the fact that I can't go to...

I have for sale one 50ft roll of 304 SS 1/2" tubing. I am trying to be as up front as possible with this sale, as the roll is certainly not in a "like new condition". The roll was purchased with the intent of coiling by hand a 12" to 14" diameter. I made it to about 18" and the roll started to...

Can someone please talk me out of using convoluted copper for a HERMS build? I am planning a E-HERMS build using an inverted keg as a bottom draining tank. I do not have 240V access, so I will be using two separate 120v, 20A lines to heat the water and a single line to regulate the...

Here is a build list of the RIMS tube for sale: (2) 1.5” SS Tee (1) 1.5” x 4” nipple (3) 1.5” to ½” hex (wort in/out & 1/2” temp probe) (1) 1.5” to 1” hex (fitting for element) (2) 1.5” triclover clamp & gasket (1) 1.5” triclover to 1.5” MPT (1) 1.5” sight glass (st patt’s) (1) 1.5”...

Putting out a feeler for either a ss or copper coil to use for a HERMS build. No sense in buying new if some has already done the work and no longer needs it. I am looking for around 50ft, but could go for less I suppose.

So these cold months have me questioning how much I really want to brew; which defeats the purpose of having so much brew equipment. So, my idea was to obtain just a few more pieces to the brewery and move indoors - at least partially. I do not own the house (rent) and the house does not have...

I am calling this project 'done' despite a few glitches. I had a need for a stir plate and also a PWM controller w/SSR for an electric heater (electric smoker for now, HLT down down the road) Inside the box is a hand-built power supply and 555 timer circuit providing the PWM signal. The...

For my pwm project I decided to include the power supply inside the box instead of having a wall wort on the outside. I know the basics on how to build one (step voltage down, rectify, regulate). My problem is finding a transformer that will fit inside what remaining space I have inside my...

I will be putting together the well known pwm controller box project. The goal is to have this controller be multifunctional in that I would like to be able to use it as a stir plate controller before brew day and use it as a heating element controller on brew day. Could someone with experience...

So instead of building a PWM unit, why couldn't i use something like this? http://www.bing.com/shopping/electronics-centurion-rotary-dimmer/specs/17423C1FD4A652F25020?q=1500+watt+dimmer&lpf=0&lpq=1500%2bwatt%2bdimmer&FORM=CMSMSP it is a 1500W electric dimmer. I would imagine these things do...

So, for those of you that have been forced to take the seven habits course, I bring you this: the drinking stick tap handle.

I stumbled across this in my local CL. It is listed as a 'stainless steel cooler' - but looks more like an oversized milk jug. Does anyone recognize what this is? Any chance it could be a fermenter? http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/bfs/2499091567.html

I just thought I would share my latest project: my fermentation chamber build. I am using a nucool thermoelectric fridge with an eBay temp controller custom fit into the fridge instead of a project box. I am using the original wiring for the thermister so there was no need to drill a hole in the...

Excuse the pun. I had a friend weld on a 1/2" nipple to my keggle. He did an excellent job on the weld, however some spatter managed to find its way into the threads of my nipple. I tried to grind it out with a dremel but that didn't seem to work too well. I now have a nipple with the first...

I am the in design/purchase part of my RIMS build and was trying to find a way to not purchase from stpats. The only reason why I am considering it is because of the 1.5" tri-clover sight glass. My RIMS tube design is uses 1.5" tubing which should allow plenty of room for my element...

So I am about to embark on my mash tun RIMS build and thought I might put out a feeler to see if anyone had some extra components to sell before I pull the trigger(s). Excuse the short-hand nomenclature, this is pretty much a copy/paste from my build list from excel. I am also up for any...

So a startup brewery in TN is getting sued by a brewpub in NM because the brewery name contains the same word: Marble City Brewery vs Marble Brewery. I personally don't see the grounds for suit especially since their distribution markets were initially no where near each other. Am I just being...

I am trying to find a place to buy dry ice for a party tonight. Because of my work schedule I was not able to stop by any the manufacture sites during the week. For the yinzers out there, do you know of any retail shops that would sell dry ice on a Saturday? Thanks!

Is there any reason why most people put the male ends on the vessels/pumps and female on each hose? Is it easier to install this way?, or is it a matter of cosmetics / preference? Thanks in advance! cam-locks

I am planning a camping trip and am looking into cheap/easy ways of getting some homebrew to the campfire. My thoughts are just to use a 5ft picnic tap with a co2 canister charging system (or if $$ permits a paintball reg system). I have a slightly modified dip tube that should allow me to...
