I got sick of the valves on the racking port of my spiedel fermentors (lack of barb, small clamping area, weird hose sizes accepted) so I started looking into putting weldless bulkheads through the cap that ships with the units. In my investigations, I was hitting around $30 per fermentor to...

I just put together an inline oxygen stone in a T with camlocks. Is it better practice to place this at the beginning of the ~20' hose I use to pump from my BK to my fermenter or at the end of the hose as the wort enters the fermenter. I don't want to knock my oxygen right out of the wort...

I love my new Speidel fermenters. I have 2 now, a 60l and a 30l and am going to go for 3 more 60l which should last me for about forever. My fermentation chamber is low so I currently push with co2 out of my 15 gallon re purposed hdpe LME barrels into cornies. More for the ease of moving...

I built a new boil kettle and sold my keggle. I built it off a concord 80 qt pot and it is actually less than 18.5 gallons with everything assembled so maybe 74 quarts. I'm not even mad but that false advertising about size is worth noting. I went with a triclover heating element (a 4500...

Sold, Thanks! I have a 10 gallon electric pot that I was using as a HLT for sale. Would work fine for HLT or BK. L6-30 plug with 8' cord, soldered nut to the kettle for the element, 5500 watt currently. Gang box soldered around the nut for electrical enclosure safety goodness. Soldered nut...

Hey everybody! Thanks so much for all of your information sharing and also for all the really great specific ideas I've seen here. I've brewed on my new rig once and I LOVE it. Everything is all in my basement now so my brewday is probably at LEAST 1/2 hour shorter due to not carrying...

Hey everybody. I finished up my control panel build and have tested it as working in every way I can until I have elements in the kettles. I've previously built more than 5 control panels for a glass studio I used to own and my keezer and ferm chamber so was pretty used to working with ssr's...

Hey, everybody. Like so many of you, I'm ready to move my brewery inside. I have a 10 gallon HLT and a keggle BK. Cooler MLT. I've built and run an electric glass studio for the last 7 years, so I'm familiar with control panel builds and ssr's and pid's and whanot but I need a little help...

I have 2 extra tickets to this little slice of beervana. I'm asking face value which is $100. The event is August 13 1-6 pm in Madison, WI. Last year there were over 900 individual brews to try. BSD

Hi all. Relatively new poster, been lurking (and learning like crazy) for over 6 months. I'm having a peculiarity with my first brew made with harvested yeast from some Bell's amber. The second batch, a Two Hearted clone made with yeast from the same washing is finishing up fine and as...
