    Massachusetts Camlocks, Faucets, Blichmann fittings, Diptubes, SSRs, etc.

    Thanks for the reply, although I guess I'm looking for a different fitting than I thought.

    New Brewer, Big Mouth Bubbler lid fix, and first brew.

    I've noticed with my BMB that as the two contact surfaces are dry, it has never popped off. If I have the whole thing coated in star san on the other hand it's never stayed in place for more than a few hours.

    Show me how you lock your taps

    I'm curious about this as well. The baby is talk enough now to reach up and touch the bottom of the taps, it's only a matter time before he's tall enough to pull the levers.

    New York Colorado Brew System 20 gallon pot with fittings

    Great pot, but I'm going to sell it since I really don't brew enough at this size and only used this pot twice since I got it. Five ports total for sight glass, electric element, thermometer, drain valve and whirlpool. All fittings are tri-clover and are included with the sale. Also included is...

    Fellowship of the Drink II: The Two (beer) Towers

    I've definitely done that in a beer trade. Specifically I think I wrote intimate adult goods. The person at the counter was so uncomfortable they just weighed it and took my money without ever making eye contact.

    Save $50 or more - Spike Brewing Bargain Cave Updated

    I wish I had seen this earlier, I'm in the market for 3 kettles right now.

    pH 5.2 Stabilizer. Experience?

    I know without any extra info this is kind of a stretch, but here goes. I don't know anything about water chemistry and never bothered to learn because the water was always pretty solid at my old home. At this new location however all my hoppier beer come out weak at best. Not knowing any better...

    Planning out a new system

    If I went with welded fitting I would probably go with Spike kettles and just have him do everything to my specs, although I've got several people to turn to if I ended up wanting the welding done myself.

    Planning out a new system

    Yeah whatever I do, the power cord has to be removable for cleaning. I've been thinking it might be a worthy investment to do welded fitting so if I go that route I'll probably do a tri-clove removable element.

    Planning out a new system

    Ok so thinking about this a little more if I did a HERMS setup and went with say 50' of 1/2" stainless I could probably double that as a counter flow chiller and just fill the HLT with cold water and ice.

    Planning out a new system

    Yeah the price is so close on the 15g and a 20g it would be best to go all 20g. I guess the reason I said 15/15/20 was I had the blichmanns in my head for the boil coil and how much liquid you would need to submerge the element in one vs the other, but if I went with a stainless hot water heater...

    Planning out a new system

    So a while back I built this guy after doing a ton of reading and sweating over small details. The system worked great, but my wife and I decided to relocate and I sold the system in order to help with the move. I did advise her though that if I was selling the system it came with a price and...

    mash recirculation cause stuck/slow sparge

    You are likely just draining too fast and compacting the grain bed. Slow it down and try to keep the liquid coming out equal to what is going in.
