Let us know how it turns out :mug:

Most plate chillers will cool wort within a few degrees of the incoming water temp on their own. So if you have 50 degree water, it is probably not necessary. That being said, if you use a pre-chiller you can cool wort faster and to cooler temps. As far as the forced air goes, I would bend...

Welcome to brewing my friend!! When I started, forums like this along with brewing friends were worth their weight in gold. Just remember, we were all noobs once.

Just curious - Why did you cut off the top ring and add handles instead of using the ones that came with the keg?

I used to work on a research boat in the Gulf and we used the bejesus out of those grinders. We bought 3 of them just to try and after daily use (and abuse) 2 were still working! The one that died was run over by a forklift. I have had one of these in my garage for 2 years and it still runs...

I 2nd that.

Looks nice. Could use a bit more sanding & I definitively recommend a few coats of poly. A solid design though. Now, Lets see an Atari controller!

I have basically the same setup as but I used barbed fittings on both ends, it works great.

At my last job we used sanitary end caps that were drilled and brazed like that and pressured them up to 65 psi with no problem. We also had a couple that we used to burst test disposable plastic filter housings up to 200 psi (we built them in a pinch). For those we drilled & tapped the end...

I say go new if you can, but their is nothing wrong with old. I would kill for a 1950's retro kegerator. I bought a Kenmore Elite 27cf Fridge w/freezer drawer from sears on clearance for $500, normally $1800. The front stainless had a few scratches from where someone scraped off a label. If...

Half the fun of owning a kegerator is customizing it to make it your own. One of the easiest things to do is change your tap handles to match your brews. That being said - They are also not cheap, so I decided to make my own. With DIY you not only get the satisfaction of admiring your work...

Looks like it will make one hellava mess! Are you planning some kind of catch basin to return cleaning solution to the sump?

Build a "Sir-Hops-A-Lot"/ Zopinator

Let us know when you get a few on tap. I live about 1.5 hours away & would love to support the cause.....12oz at a time :mug:

Chainsaw & a really big hammer!! :cross:

I bought a house a few months ago and found 2 50' rolls of 5/8" & 2 50' rolls of 7/8" soft copper tubing. My question is can anyone think of something brewing related I could use them for? The worlds largest (and least efficient) wort chiller is all I could think of, and no, I don't plan on...
