    Wisconsin Three NB Megapots

    Both 10 gallon pots are now gone, but the 8 gallon is still available.

    Wisconsin Three NB Megapots

    I'd like to sell my 5 gallon all-grain setup, as I've moved to 10 gallon batches. I don't want to deal with shipping these, so local pickup only in Madison, WI. $125 for an 8 gallon pot with lid, dip tube, and thermometer -- I used this as a hot liquor tank $150 for a 10 gallon pot with...

    March 815 fail

    Yep, the chugger heads work fine on an 815.

    Sanke or standard pot

    If money were no object, a kettle from Stout or maybe Brewer's Hardware. But I'd go with a Sanke over any other pot.

    50' 1/2" Stainless Immersion Chiller

    The stainless brewing chiller is also out of stock, but the site says they'll have more in the "middle of May". Before you settle for the 3/8, it might be worth sending them a quick e-mail to see if they'll have more soon...

    Fermenter Keg

    Fermenting in kegs is pretty common. Here's a video on the AHA website that might get you started.

    90º reducing elbow 1/2" FPT to 3/4" FPT?

    This look right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/400493695109

    Stainless Steel Bottles?

    Yep, this is bizarre. If for some reason I wanted to pay $50 for stainless steel bottles, I sure as hell would't want "Brew, Share, Enjoy" plastered on the side. Honestly, I think NB has jumped the shark.

    My insane 25 Gal, 100 Percent Hard Plumbed Tri-Clover, Automated Tippy Build

    I want tri-clover ferrules on my Chugger pump heads! Let me know if you do an exchange program...

    Hot side oxidation and HERMS

    The conventional wisdom on hot side aeration (HSA) was that it could arise before, after, and possibly even during the boil. This page has some discussion of why. But it doesn't really matter, though, since the more modern view is that HSA isn't an issue on the home brewing scale. (The best...

    Need Help With Brutus 10 Gas System conversion

    Holy cow -- that's some serious flame. Anyway, glad to hear you were able to sort out the low flow issue!

    Need Help With Brutus 10 Gas System conversion

    Is this the regulator? If so, the instructions say:

    Need Help With Brutus 10 Gas System conversion

    With that much line, is it possible you triggered the regulator's flow limiting device?

    Re: Will this fitting work for a bottom drain?

    Interesting -- Last month I ordered a test part from this vendor (dailyappliance2010) and it was solid so last week I placed an order for another $70 in fittings (which is about half the price I was finding elsewhere). That's a bummer that the parts have been inconsistent -- hopefully I get...

    Equipment for 400L brewing

    400L per month -- but how often are you wanting to brew? If you don't mind brewing 2-3 batches per week, you could do this with a 10 gallon setup.

    Malt Mill

    Looks like a Millar's Mill -- here's a few threads: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/millars-grain-mill-reviews-286008/ https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/any-expierience-millars-375154/

    Dip tubes with tri clover valves

    That's really helpful -- thanks, primozz! I may get one of these for my mash return port, since it's narrow enough that I could slip some 1/2" silicone tubing over the end to guide the fluid down to the grain bed. (Unlike the one from Brewer's Hardware, which is a whopping 1" OD -- although I...

    Dip tubes with tri clover valves

    biertourist - Have you gotten your dip tube from stout yet? I need another whirlpool return, and I'm debating between this and the one from Brewer's Hardware. Mind if I ask a few questions? Did you get the "small" one? I find it a bit strange that the tube threads into the "external...

    Ohio 1/2" Dixon Sanitary Tri-Clamp Encapsulated Ball Valves

    Mashinations -- The valves you link aren't really a fair comparison. First off, valves with 1/2" ferrules are hard to find and tend to be more expensive. (The ones you link are either 1" TC or 1.5" TC with a 1/2" bore.) Second, these are encapsulated, while the ones you're linking all appear...
