    Winter Brewing - Heat Source

    For winter chilling, pick up a 1/4 to 1/2 hp sump pump. I put water out in a big cooler the night before, about half full, it freezes, then brew morning i put water on top of that. That leaves me with a huge cooler half full of ice and water. I use the sump pump to recirc that thru the chiller...

    question full size fridge fermentation chamber

    Both doors would be removed and the entire fridge/freezer would be wide open into the cool space. So it will all be at one temp, no freezer per se.

    question full size fridge fermentation chamber

    I currently have 4 carboys going in my big freezer and 2 more in an improvised space. My big freezer is going to be converted to a serving freezer. I like the idea of the upright freezer also, however I have a spare fridge from my kitchen remodel.

    Brewstand propane manifold help

    i run 3 burners off a manifold connected to a bar b q tank so I know it works. How are you hooking your manifold to the tank? If you have one of the big colored "acme" nuts then this could be causing the issue. Contrary to what people think, the protection is built into that nut and not the tank...

    Help me pick locations for my pump and a few manifolds

    You are creating a natural air pocket by having your pump head rotated with outlet on the bottom. The outlet needs to either point straight up or the right. The way you have it air that enters the pump head is easily trapped in the top of the pump head. Any air pocket there helps to contribute...
