Ok, so here's the deal. We have a very large propane tank that feeds our house, and a large garage across the driveway with an apartment above it. Damn near everything in the house runs on propane, except the fridge. The dryer, boiler and stove. The same in the apartment. The main feed for the...

Well alright, now we're talking! That looks ideal. I could easily run my lines to that bad boy and all my worries are over. And the ball valve is already in place, so no worries there. Thanks Troll.

Now, does does anyone where to get that fitting? I've been searching everywhere, but it looks like I'll be using normal brass fittings, and getting quick connects ( http://www.agrisupply.com/Propane-Natural-Gas-Quick-Connector/p/48878/&sid=&eid=/ ), and using two hoses. I'm ok with that. And...

Ok, wow. That was a ton of info. So what i'm taking from this, is to use a half inch pipe over 6 feet and somehow get a fitting with the acme threads, so I can hook up both my grill and fryer without modifying them. That's what I got anyway. :-P

Well, the ideal location is about 6' to 8' from the house. If a beer line length calculator is available, I'm sure a propane line length calculator is too.

Ok, that's great for the bbq, as for the burner, I kinda figured I'd need a low pressure burner. See the link in my first post. I'm also uploading a pic if the secondary regulator at the house. You can see the valve and crimped line to the lower left. It comes out the upper right and then...

Yup, 100% sure it's propane. We don't have any of those fancy natural gas lines near my house. Plus, when your regulator gauge stops working and your tank gets low, you KNOW the smell of propane. So, after looking at the outside connection, it looks like I could just take off the...

Here's the situation. I would like to hook up a propane quick disconnect for my grill and turkey fryer, so I can use my house propane instead of getting bottles filled. When we moved in, the grill was connected to the house propane. There is an outside line specifically for the grill, but...

Yup. I asked northern fewer.com to double mill my grain and it came milled REALLY fine. Good for them. The curtain voile held it all. Definitely use it. At $8.99 for a single curtain it's a steal.

So lesson learned on what type of material to use. I tried a voile my mother got me. It's the type they use for veils. The mesh was WAY too big and let damn near everything through it. Not good. The second I used was a paint strainer bag. The mesh was MUCH finer and it did a good job. Much...

Holy smokes. That looks snazzy.

Do you need a dip tube if you're only doing BIAB?

Hey I'd love a 55 gallon stainless steel kettle with an insulated jacket for the mash and an integrated jamil whirlpool chiller that also makes me breakfast every morning, but funds just aren't there for that project. ;)

John Palmer's How to Brew - Pages 310 and 311. Brass is just fine for brewing. It's the surface lead from the machining process that he's talking about. That's why he says to pickle all brass pieces first. Although he says the pickling isn't really necessary, most people like to do it for...

That's good to know, but two things stopped me from making this a soldering thread. 1: I'm getting a new kettle soon and want to be able to remove this spigot and put it in a new kettle. And 2: I'm cheap as hell and wanted to do this for very little money.

I should mention...This kettle will be used exclusively for BIAB. That's why I didn't bother with a coupler on the inside. The only reason I did this was so I could drain some of the trub out to pour back through the bag for clarity.

Ok, you obviously know WAY more about threads that I do.:D I might be using the using the wrong terms, etc., but I DO know that the compression nut threaded onto the nipple perfectly before I cut it. As for cost (I'm rounding), Valve: 3.50 Barb: 1.75 Nipple: 1.50 Compression Nuts...

Thanks! And yes, the general consensus is a step bit for SS.

I know there are a ton of ball valve how to's on the site, but for the life of me, I couldn't find a definitive one for a 3/8" valve on an aluminum kettle, so here goes. Here's the equipment I used: I used 3/8" brass because for some reason, in this area of Connecticut, stainless steel is non...

This is exactly what I was going to do as I had it suspended above the kettle.
